Im trying to setup a scoreboard type deal. I'm using SharedObjects.I can make it WRITE to the .sol without any problems but I cant seem to make it READ from the .sol to re-display the data once the user opens the swf again.

View 6 Repliesany resources that could help me learn how to emulate a spoiler tag type effect for flash text?I've looked at tree menus etc but seems a bit fussier than needed. What I have is a very large piece of text with differing sections, rather than have a user swamped by everything at once I'd like to hide the majority of it with a brief intro for each section. A [+] / [-] button would expand and collapse the extra information when required (pushing the rest of the content down ala a tree menu type thing).

I have a scoreboard in flash which works great, but once go back onto the scores page at the end of the game it adds the text to each field again rather than refreshing the scores/names, therefore each item appears twice in each box..
Is there a correct way to dynamically update the scores each time I access the page ? I've tried creating a loop that sets the value of each text_box.text to ""; once I leave the page but that didn't work !!
how can i make a scoreboard? i have no idea how to do it
View 1 RepliesI'm building a dynamic scoreboard for a client currently. The first application will be a golf leaderboard. It needs to be updateable by the client (I'll write a form that fills in the xml file from the users input)I need to have a xml file that defines..-number of columns/rows-titles-content in each boxand then the flash that takes that and generates a table from it.Is there any tutorials or source files floating around that do this? There's plenty that talk about in-game scoreboards, but we need to have all the data input from an external file.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a scoreboard of players.It works fine for strings (like the username) listing like:
User1
User2
User3
etc
using in PHP to seperate them. (Using Flash,PHP,MySQL Integration)This is how I get them from the db in PHP:
PHP Code:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $rankPos .= $nrow . "
"; //# Position $rankUser .= $row['user'] . "
"; //Username obviously $rankN .= $row[$rankBy] . "
[code]...
The problem with this is, when flash receives rankings such as time, they are seperated by newlines () which makes them strings instead of integers as they rightly should be.
I'm using a time to string function to convert the time as integer (getTimer()) to a format HH:MM:SS It's fine ranking the times in the getTimer format but it all becomes a mess when trying to display the string format instead. (Considering times for all players are linked in the same string passed by PHP as time
time
time
time (000000
[code]...
The reason they are split with newlines is because the rankings are displayed in a single dynamic text.I tried converting each time in flash using the int function, but what would you do for newlines? The time rankings just comes out as '0' because of the newlines.I've also tried using this following function to remove the newlines and then possibly put each time into an array.
Actionscript Code:
function time(input){ timestr = ""; for(i=0; i<input.length; i++){ if(input.charAt(i) != " "){ timestr += input.charAt(i);} } return timestr;}
[code]...
What would I check for in order to get each time into an array?Though I'd much prefer using a much more efficient and easy method for display high scores.
I've done this flash scoreboard with shared objects.but what i can done is it will replace the 1st score in my scoreboard, it won't have 2nd, 3rd, 4th and etc...the script i used is:

Basically I've set up a scoreboard for a flash game I've made for a client. Now the scoreboard works fine but apparently it's not very secure. One of the clients friends was able to add a score of 100,000 without even playing the game. This is quite a big problem as they are planning on doing a competition with prizes for the highest scores.
What's the normal way to encrypt data on a scoreboard? The scores are stored in a MySQL database btw.

View 1 RepliesAnybody else have that dilemma where you have movieclips on stage that should animate, but because they somehow end up switching index/priority(top to bottom on a single layer) on stage in some keyframes, they end up resetting themselves. This causes you to go back through all your movie clips just to check for this. Is there a reletively simple way to deal with this?
Also, assume that distributing everything to layers is not an option.
I am trying to dynamically resize an flv playing back in a flash player. To do this, I need to get the flv's width/height so I can maintain the original aspect ratio. I have noticed that in Firefox the onMetaData event will be hit right away, and the video will resize properly. In IE however, onMetaData is not hit until the buffer is full and video starts playing.
One solution I have thought of is to set the initial buffer to something close to 0 (e.g. 0.01). Then the buffer will instantly hit full, and the video will be resized. The issue I have with this is low bandwidth users will have a a short 'sputter' of video (0.5 seconds say) at the beginning before it goes to the next, larger, buffer. Is there any better way to deal with this behavior in IE? Can you manually "get" the metaData from an FLV file before it even plays?
is it best to load sound files into the library, or to load them externally? What I want to do is make a sampler app. You'd have a selection of loops and drag and drop them onto a timeline. My main concern is performance and any delay of sound.

I want to have each higher score goes to the scoreboard, so will have 10 highest score in my scoreboard. Here is my attached file in CS5 format.
I am making a scoreboard. On this scoreboard I will have 10 different scores. I want to compare the 10 scores and list the top 3 scores in another location. I was thinking at first
if(score1>score2&&score1>score3&&score1>score4 etc.....){
some function
}
But this will only give me the top score in the group. I would like to find the top 3 scores, and then list them.
I also want another fla file to be able to reference this external array and pull the top 15 scores from it, and then display those scores on a scrolling banner. I want the banner to be able to update dynamically (I assume reloading the banner fla each time it reaches the end of its cycle, having the first frame load the external array on an onClipEvent action would accomplish this), that way it will update while remaining open. The main reason I need two separate files for the quiz and the score banner is they will be displayed on two different monitors. What would be the most efficient way of accomplishing this? I know a little about actionscript but I don't have much experience with calling data and functions from external fla or as files (the array and the function designating how the data will be arranged within said array are going to be in a separate .as file).
View 9 RepliesI have a method fired on mouse down:
private function setGender(e:MouseEvent):void
{
check.visible = true;[code]...
The same method body is shared by another method fired on a keyboard Event (so, it takes a keyboard Event for argument). Which is the best way to deal with situations like this one? I would like to have only one method.One way could be to create a new method called by the two event handlers (even if, if I need to use e.target, it can change according to the type of event and other variables, so I should eventually create a method that takes e.target as a parameter). This creates three methods...Would it be possible to change for example e:MouseEvent with a parent of MouseEvent and KeyboardEvent?
I'm currently building a website that contain different game. each game is an external swf. I'm auto-preloading it while displaying textual stuff in order to have a minimum of preloading time.
Everything work well but imagine I've got 5 external swfs. If I decide to close one game and remove the loader child, when I click back to view this game, I have to reload it again.
So, is there a problem (memory or performance) if I do not delete my 5 loader childs in order to lead them only 1 time?
I have child node that has no information ... it would be a URL, so the error message I get is Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.. Code: _currURL = path.article.(@ID == _marker).storyURL; I thought I might check to see if _currURL == null, but that does nothing.

I need this for a simple iPhone app...I was trying to create a Scoreboard for my iPhone using Flash CS5 in Air for iOS mode. I succesfully add the Timer and the 24-seconds Timer, but now i need soooo much help. Problems: 1. When the Timer reaches 0 mins, it display only :59, not 00:59 2. I tried to add a Button for the Counter of the points, but it seems very complicated in AS3(not in AS2 :/). I created a TLF Read Only Text named "HomeScore" . But it's a String not a Number so i can't add a simple counter. 4. with the Reset button (for Timer & 24-Seconds) and the Start/Stop buttons (for Timer & 24). My code:import flash.events.MouseEvent;

View 2 RepliesThere was always a flash movie on the homepage and it worked fine. A couple days ago I replaced the movie with a new one and added a .swf to the portfolio page as well. On the portfolio page, the movie is layered behind a series of transparent .pngs that link to their corresponding lightbox designations. The movie just plays, there isn't any interaction this way, atleast not in flash.
The problem: Everything works perfectly fine locally on all browsers and not at all on the server across all browsers. I have seen this problem before and read alot of posts about it.I know I have the proper scripts files. I've re-saved flash movies, changed their location within the site, published them with the appropriate settings, nothing seems to do the trick. Whats worse is that the lightbox doesn't even work online and it runs fine locally. Infact you cant even click on the .pngs and they aren't positioned the same with the css as they are viewed locally. I've overwritten the css with the up-to-date stylesheet many times as well
