Win 3 Flash guestbooks with Flashloaded contest!
I am happy and proud to annunce that emanueleferonato.com is running his first contest.
In partnership with Flashloaded I am giving away three Flash guestbooks powered by flashGuestbook.
What is flashGuestbook?
The flashGuestbook component is a highly flexible system for recording feedback and comments from visitors to your websites. The component is deployed on the server side using PHP and MySQL with the resulting messages displayed within the Flash movie. Entries can be moderated and manually approved using the backend admin panel.
I wanted to test the component so here it is my test drive:
I installed the component with a double click on the .mxp file provided in the package. Then in a minute, filling two or three fields, I was able to setup the database.
The software does not come with a manual, but you can find an exhaustive online guide at this link.
Following their tutorial, I was able to create this example in a few minutes:
My example is using only 2 of the 18 built-in standard fields (such as name, address, gender, age, email, etc.) and 5 custom fields you can create.
For $44.95 you can purchase this fully customizable guestbook, but for 3 of you it will be free
Win the guestbook!
To enter the contest, just leave a comment about what do you think about the guestbook (or one of the other components for sale on this page).
Next tuesday I will announce the winners in a video.
I am very excited to run this first contest and I hope it will have a lot of entries. The more entries, the more sponsors I will find for future contests.

This is a pretty sweet gadget! !8 built in fields plus the 5 customizable ones sounds great. I wouldn’t mind putting my hands on one of those :D
Anyway thanks for the info, keep up with the awesome blog dude!
Ciao! Ci vediamo dopo.

Nice, flashloaded components are very easy to setup :-)

hey, have you done a tutorial for a save game slot.
if you havn’t i think that would be a good idea

I have to say, this is pretty good. The chatting works well, and other people respond and everything, but I found a few small things that seemed weird. For one, you should be able to hit and to send a message. And also, your name should be remembered after you send a message so that you don’t have to type it again.
Again, great job, but a few things felt off.

This looks awesome!!!

I think it is really cool. It would be very useful to find out what your could add to make your games better for the squel of your game. It would also provide a way to communicate to the players of your game. This is a great tool for flash game makers.
p.s.
Your tutorials rock

I like it. I think it’s very good and handsome. The guestbook got a clean design, which you could change yourself, and you have many, many options. One think I’d like to know, is, can you make the fields required or not?
To be honorst: It’s a nice guestbook, which I’d like to get my fingers in. Not only because how it works, and how useful it is. Also to get a look at how prof’s source codes, look like. – But i would never even think about buying it. It also costs alot.

hmm, looks like a killer app . . . but in your version only the first 20 words or so of a long post is visible – is this a setting that can be adjusted, or is it a qwirk of the component?

I work for a web design company and we actually just bought Flashloaded’s PhotoFlow last week. Setting up, customizing and using it is a dream. It’s clever, looks great and really adds some class to the site.
This new guestbook component looks rather cool, I like the fact they’ve added the ability to create custom fields and I’m sure, like photoFlow, there are endless options to customize it. Communication with your visitors is definately the future of the web (web 2 if you will) and I believe that providing these kind of services will really benefit everyone.
Also, congratulations on your first contest! I’ve been a long time visitor and it’s great to see that you’re continuing to grow!

Looks like a really cool guestbook. As said before, the blue gradient is really kind of ugly, and at points the words run off the page, but I’m sure both of these can be fixed. also, maybe its just because im on a slow connection, but the book seems a little laggy. no big deal though really.
Otherwise, it seems like a really neat thing to have.

i could really use this tool as a new flash guy trying to get my work out. i don’t have time really for hours of of programming to make a guest book and this helps tremendously. thanks again for the info Emanuele. your the one who got me into flash gaming with some of your early tutorials. if i don’t win i might buy it.

Looks great and simple to set up!

Wow! I have been looking for something like this! All The guest books I have found involve a certain file along with it, like HTML or Javascript, and I need it in a just flash file. This is really fantastic, but I am wondering, does it work with Flash 8 Professional? If not, its okay, because I am upgrading to Flash CS3 Professional on Christmas. This component is pricey though, and I think my website that I am working on will do without it, I’m sure its worth the money, like loads of flash components I have found. Your tutorials are very informing, they tend to help me out tremendously with tons of my flash projects. When my site goes up; hopefully on January 1st, 2008; it will link to this website.
Keep up the great work Emanuele!

Well, thats great, and you say it only took a few minutes! With all the custimizableness of it, it could fit any style of a particular website. The only problem I see, which are that long comments don’t work very well, can probably be fixed to wrap better with a little more time.
