Hey
im wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to create a live message board in flash php and mysql databases

what i want to do is for users to be abel to post messages in forum style , with title message and so on , and for them to be listed out on a page ( not more complicated than that, no different topics or anything)
and i want flash to check if there are any new posts ever like 10 seconds

anyone have any tutorials or suggestions?

Just an idea I got, if you take some of the "Guestbook" tutorial, and combine it with the "live counter" tutorial, both from the Kirupa site, then it should be possible, shouldn't it?

I mean, using the parts of the "Guestbook" tutorial, to writing messages, and viewing them, and then using the part of "Live counter" tutorial to make it check for any new messages.

Well, as I said in the beginning, it's just an idea, but my logic tells me that it would work, if it's combined the right way.
