Still working on a series of games and ran into a problem with uploading from AS3 to Twitter.What I want to happen is the player enters their name at the start of the game. When the player completes the game their time and name are sent to Twitter to be posted. The code for the timer handler:
Code:
function TimerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void{
var TotalCounts:uint = MyTimer.currentCount+penalty*10;

I've created an app which uploads pictures onto facebook, works 100%
But now im trying to work out how to upload images to Twitter,
Does anyone know if this is possible through flash? and if so can someone point me in the right direction?
I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but i just wanted to know if there was any special code needed in order to upload a flash file on to the internet to access through the wii. i have a book that mentions that when you publish the .fla, a .js should be created too. this isn't the case for me, but is it really required?
View 2 RepliesI have been googling for hours and have not yet found a solution to this problem.currently, I retrive the data from the twitter xml fileeverything works fine, my date format shows this: Fri Aug 12 03:25:40 +0000 2011But I want it to show this: 17 days agohere's my flash as3 code:

Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?

I have seen in some games where instead of loading the whole game at the beginning of the game, they load one level, with the preloader on the screen, then when that level is over, another level is loaded, with the preloader on the screen, etc. I've been trying to find a tutorial or some information on how to do this online but couldn't find anything. I have a game that takes a long time to load when loading it all at the beginning of the game, so I'd like to load it level by level.

i have a game and when a player clicks play button a countdown starts and game begins when count hits zero,Problem is it counts from the Os/Computer time and their is a difference in secconds from computer to computer causing players to start at differnt times.Is it possible to have the countdown count down by server time to keep players in sync so everyone starts at the same time?Code is writen in actionscript3.0 and Flash cs5.5the code provided currently counts down by remaining Os sec's of the current min so if theirs 30 sec left in the current min it countsdown 30 sectime1 in my database is 60 for 60 sec between games

I have a game loop written in Haxe/Flash. For some reason it slows down over time. At first it runs reasonably, but my laptop fan starts spinning up and it gets slower and slower. Why would this happen?

How to make a gameplay time counter? I did make one but it only showed seconds and miliseconds (with gettimer())). As soon as the player hit the button "submit" the time has to start to count. As the player reached his maximum turns the game goed to the next frame and the timer should top. The game starts over (from frame2) so the timer has to begin over again.
View 4 RepliesI have built this AS2 game that uses quite a few classes and library symbols.It works fine the first time you play the swf. But if you try to do the whole ctrl + ENTER in the Flash IDE, it doesn't seem to load any of the assets that are dynamically attached to the stage.This also happens if you have another swf use loadMovie to load it.I have all the dynamically attached symbols assigned with the linkage and set to export on the firstFrame. There is an include .as file on the first frame of the fla.

I want to create a game similar to all the reaction time games out there, with the difference that my game has a set amount of time that you as the player will have to guess when it occurs (with a simple click). Each player has a number of tries where the closest time from the set time wins.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a non-real time browser RPG game (think Kingdom of Loathing) which would be played from within a Flash app. At first I just wanted to make the communication with server using simply URLLoader to tell PHP what I am doing, and using $_SESSION to store data needed in-between request. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to base it on a socket connection, an app residing on a server written in Java or Python.
The problem is I have never ever written such an app so I have no idea how much I'd have to "shift" my thoughts from simple responding do request (like PHP) to continuously working application. I won't hide I am also concerned about the memory and CPU usage of such Server app, when for example there would be hundreds of users connected. I've done some research. So, considering the fact I don't need real time data exchange, will it be wise to develop the server side part as socket server, not in plain ol' PHP?
The game is like Asteroids where four rocks are placed in the corners of the stage at the beginning and then start moving randomly around the stage. The problem is the timer used is started the moment that the flash file starts not the moment the player clicks the start button. So if you are on the start screen for 5 seconds before you click play when the game actually begins the rocks are where they would be after 5 seconds of play, which could be right over the player.

my question is what is the best way to have a countdown timer so all users enter the game at the same time. At the moment i am using php to get the time from mysql database and send it to flash, but the time is different for each user, would the best way getting the time from the server. this is the code i am using at the moment.

I have problem with the setInterval function. I have a game application that sets a time limit of 3 minutes. From 3 minutes counting down by 1 second up to zero. The problem is, the counting of the timer is by 2 seconds and sometimes by 4 seconds. I tested the movie in my local computer and looks fine but when I upload it to a server and it is embeded in a website. And by the time the user clicks the link to play the game application and starts playing the problem about the timer occurs.
View 6 Repliesi'm trying to make a craps game in flash.The program starts with a login screen which takes you to a menu, then you get the choice of 3 games. I'm on my second game so far which i'm having trouble with.So far i've managed to get 2 spinners with numbers 1-6 on each, which will spin, give you the values in 2 separate text boxes then add the value together in another text box.The trouble i am having is the winning and lossing condions, where i have no idea where to start.
Rulse are if your value equals 7 or 11 you win
if your value equals 2,3 or 12, yoo lose and
if your value is anothing else then user gets another go and has to get the same value again or get a 7 and lose.
Heres code so far:

I have looked everywhere for an example or tutorial on a delta time game loop in AS3. I found many fixed time step examples but very little helpful information on delta time game loops and how it works. I have seen examples that do the calculations in a timer and also seen examples that do the calculations inside the enter_frame event. All the examples I have seen are also incomplete and only provided me with bits and pieces.

I'm writing a Flash game where the game levels are saved in small plain-text files, which I want to embed in the swf file. My current solution has a distinct code smell in its repetition, and I'm certain that there is a better way. My code is basically: In a LevelLoader class, embed all the levels
[Embed( source="levels/1.dat", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )]
protected var level1:Class;
[Embed( source="levels/2.dat", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )][code].......
There are a couple of problems with this approach: I have to add a line for embedding each level. Optimally, all files in a folder would be automatically embedded.A level can't be "prepared" from a string. I'd like to be able to pass LevelLoader a level number or level name as a string.I think that all strings are stored in memory rather than on disk.How could I program this "correctly"?
I'm just trying to store a simple cookie that will remember the score for the next time the user plays the game (the score governs if an option is visible or not)It all works fine until I close browser/reload the page, at which point the shared object seems to disappear, any clues?
Write:
Code:
var rem_score:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("score");
rem_score.data.score = new Number(score);
rem_score.flush();
The problem prolly lies in my write code but ill post the reading aswell just incase there is a problem with that too
Code:
var rem_score:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("score");
if (rem_score.data.score != undefined) {
this.remdscore = rem_score.data.score;
if (rem_score.data.score >=30) {

There is another point it is read but it is the same sort of thing as the above.

im making this app, and i have it connect to the twitter api, but then say the facbook button or any of them is pressd the tweets are still displayed. Im sure its simple to remove a event listener, i know it exists but i have never done it so i have no idea how to do it... Can someone show me please?

I'm trying to connect to the Twitter API via an AS3 app, but I keep getting
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
When I try URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/oauth") it at least loads something and calls my Event.COMPLETE listener. Can Flash just not connect to the Twitter API without a third-party? I have tried numerous AS3 OAuth packages and keep getting the same thing.
edit and I'm using Security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.twitter.com/crossdomain.xml");
