View 1 RepliesI need some urgent help with my high score table. My scoreboard was based of a tutorial that I found using php and flash to create a scoreboard. When I use the scoreboard in flash (using ctrl + enter) the scoreboard runs fine... It uploads the new name and score and reads the scores from the board then loads them to flash. But the problem is as soon as I try to use the created "*.SWF" file, it acts as if nothing is meant to happen... I click on the button to upload and reload the scores and nothing happens at all.
I loaded the file onto the same FTP site i'm hosting the scores and the PHP file and the scoreboard once again worked fine. Upon trying to post it anywhere else, the scoreboard won't work.
I have the local playback security setting set to "Access network only".

I am basically having a problem in submiting the users score and name to the database table. When the user reaches the final score screen they are shown two dynamic text boxes that display there total result and a input text box where the user can enter their name. I have done everything and it still don't work. I know I can receive the data but I don't get why it doesn't submit it to my table.
The input text box has a instance name of "playername"
Score total dynamic text box 1 "correct_total"
Score total dynamic text box 2 "wrong_total"
I have also attached an image of my database table [URL].
PHP files. insertValues.php
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$pass = "";
$database = "activitysystem";

I am trying to get a high score table set up and I have it all working except for an if statement which decides whether to put a zero in the time or not.
ActionScript Code:
variable declared at the top
var gap:String;
This is getting data that is stored - it works fine except for the underlined "gap" - The "gap" is meant to be calling the variable which has the below if statement
ScoreInputScore.text=String(SpotTheDifferenceGame._minute)+gap+String(SpotTheDifferenceGame._second);
if (SpotTheDifferenceGame._second<10) {
gap=(":0");
} else {
gap=(":");
}
I thought by have the variable called in in the function and having the if statement with gap= it would do the specified text in the dynamic text box. When I put a trace on "gap" it traces with the correct text depending on what the number is but in my dynamic text box it displays as number null number.
// displays like this when trace put on it
:0
// displays like this in dynamic text box

how can i make a high score table for a flash game where EVERYONE see's the same high scores?

Creating a high score table in flash, using external file handling, can be achieved using server-side scripts, such as PHP. However, as this is not allowed for my game (school project), I need a way to write a few variables directly to a text file and read it back again. Is this possible? I am using AS 2.0. Any other ways in which a high score table, which is portable and can be saved and updated
View 3 RepliesI am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
}
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:

I've been looking on the net for some time now (about 4 weeks on and off) and i've come across various ways of producing high score tables for both online and offline games. My query is:
Is it possible to produce a high score table for an online game using a document in the same location as the swf without using a PHP, SQL or any of the like languages? Either using a text document, xml, another swf or something else like that?
I am trying to create a high score table offline that doesn't need php just relies on dynamic textboxes.I am basing it on a kind of random football results generator. I have been able to get the random scores and add points to a team depending on the score but now I would like to be able to display them in a 'league' table based on their points score.
View 7 RepliesI'm making a platform game called Kit Run. Th objective in each level is to gather 100 points in hidden pickups. I want to have the score read as a percentage - when you start the score says 0%, as you collect, depending on the worth of the item, it goes up by such and such %. How I am attempting to do it: on the stage I have three dynamic text boxes. one "pointsEarned", one "PointsTotal", and one "scoreText". The actionscript on the stage is:

alas it doesnt work. The score stays forever at 0%, even though when I hit the chicken mc it unloads properly. I've been writing and rewriting it for HOURS and I cant figure it out.

How to make a table in Flash and enable the column headers on the table to sort column on click?I have seen some tutorials with mySQL but I'd like to start with something basic. Is a sortable table possible using just Flash and AS 2.0?
View 1 RepliesI have a result screen that shows bonus points and such. I want each text field to increment one after another and also have it increment by a certain amount each frame. Result Screen pops up. First is the player score check the player score, is it more than the score we want to display if the player score is greater than the player display score by 100 increase the player display score by 100 if the player score is greater than the player display score by 10 increase the player display score by 10 else increase the player display score by 1 when finished move to the next score...and so on. I have thought of using timers to move from one score to the next, but not being in an Event.ENTER_FRAME it only does one if then moves to the next one.
Also the if statement for incrementing the score looks ridiculous and I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do it. I was thinking of making it a separate function but then I wouldn't know what to return, or how to return it so it looks like its increasing and not just showing the total number instantly. I'll try to expand on it a little more.
I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

i have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
View 5 RepliesI have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get tables to display using flash. Currently I have two scenes, with a table on each scene. I have buttons that switch back and forth between the scenes and each table loads fine when I run each scene individually. The problem is I have no idea how to REMOVE a table from the scene. Currently when I play the whole movie the first table that loaded stays loaded, and the second table just loads over the top of it.
Also, I get an error #1009 after I switch back and forth from one scene to the other. So first table loads fine, click button, second table loads fine, click button, error #1009. I tried commenting out the table load parts on each scene and just leaving the button code and it worked fine. Then I left the first table load sequence commented out, and it loaded the second fine, click, loaded first page fine, click, loaded second table fine again (over the top), click, error #1009.
