Developing Characteristics Of Facebook Social Flash Game?
Jul 1, 2011
I just start to learn Flash AS3 and trying to make a Facebook social flash game. How is Facebook flash game divide its data into many parts for loading? For example, it's usually found that if we click on a new item (ex: character cloth, hair, eyes, etc) and drag it into stage, we need to wait for loading it from the ....er the sever(host), is it? what is the system of this and how where can i learn it? So there will be many people playing the game. therefore how can we store the accounts' data and load it when they start? How does the fullscreen system work? two separate flash?
I want to learn how to make a social game in facebook. How to go about it. I think you would need a team of devs. What languages are used to make social games like farmville, happy aquarium, etc.
there is is simple Game ( kids multiplication )game will be on Normal website How I can share Game score over Social networks like Facebook without using PHP or any server-side scripting directly from Flash ?Game is also just XML based game just in the end I want to share User score and website link to any social-network where user want
I am developing a flash maze game and I have a problem with changing direction of my movie clip. I can move around my maze and I have a hit test sorted. But what I want is when a player presses a keyboard button, the first animation of the MC rotating will be played, then when the play head hits stop the MC will stay in this same position (pos from last frame) until another key for example up is pressed.
The current architecture of the game is:PHP + MySql backend,Flash and ActionScript 3 frontend.Major criteria for engine/framework selection are:Support for isometric view. Resuability : The current game development should easy the work for building similar social game of diffrent story type in future.
Ease of development as3isolib - for isometric rendering, but restricted only to the rendering part. PushButton Engine - open source engine, component based Open-space engine - But That works with Smart Fox Server only I guess.
I need to authorise my Flash game (which runs on Facebook) users against my game server. I'm able to get their data like id, access token, etc, from Facebook on the client (I'm using the Flash Facebook API) but I'm not sure how to authorize them on my game server (e.g. do a login with a database query). One scenario that I have on my mind:
If I could get the same access token from Facebook on both the client (which I already do) and the server (with, for example, a redirect URL, which I tried but does not seems to work), then I could easily compare the two tokens (together with the user IDs) and thus authorize the user. UPDATE To put it simpler, I want to catch the token that is returned from Facebook on the server-side before it gets to the client (it can be a simple PHP script that parses the URL token parameter). Next, store it in the DB on the server, and when the client queries the server, I can do the comparison.
Is there any free Open Source Multiplayer Flash Game (like Happyfarm... in facebook) that I can use and build my own small network?What I'm looking for is the source code of some Multiplayer Flash Game (like http:[url]....for example)I do not know to much thing to talk about it, but if there is some, I hope:
+The game can run without any other system (not a plug-in or mod)
+If there is server-slide script, it should be PHP
I is chuckmul again. I am starting a new game of war stratigy. It has an Isometric veiw point. I was just wondering how I could first make the I sometric grid using flash and second make a fully interactive enviroment
I'm trying to integrate a Flash Professional/AS3 game into Facebook. The swf is hosted on a secure (https) server. The swf has to connect to a SmartFoxPro socket server on another domain.I'm using the Facebook Actionscript API to interface with Facebook. (Should I use PHP, instead? I read an article that recommends using PHP, because the Actionsrcipt API may not be kept up to date.) When I fire up my app, I get a "Security Information" pop-up box saying that the page contains both secure and nonsecure items. I click "yes" to all the display of the nonsecure items.
Then, I get an "XD Proxy blah-blah-blah" popup. This pop-up goes away, and then my app logs in to my SmartFox server.So... What is this "XD Proxy" window? I think it looks unprofessional, and users may think there's an error with the app. Also, can I block or hide the "Security Information" pop-up? Why don't I see this in other FB apps?
i made flash game in action script 3.0. In my game i have leader score.. i have 2 buttons 1. share on facebook and 2. challenge your friends on facebook.on clicking 1 button it will directly go to facebook and share my score on facebook.And on clicking 2 button my all facebook friends pics will appear with checkbox when i am selecting few of my friends and click on go buttons, the facebook request will go to selected friends only for challenge ... how to do this 2 buttons functionality.
I wish to create a multiplayer game facebook app. A game will have 1 to 4 people in it playing from their own systems. I wish to target, lets say, 10K simultaneous online users. I am planning to write the client side game in Flash. I wanted to know how these clients communicate with each other. Can these clients communicate directly with each other or I should go with "server as middleman" approach? I want the game to work even in "restricted" networks. If server, how do I have things working from google app engine cloud service? I came across channel API, should I use that? Would it work with a flash client?
We're currently working on a small scale indie card game for Facebook, which we hope will reach hundreds of thousands of players (eventually). We have most of the issues figured out (scalability, server-side architecture, etc) - however one question - communication between client & server.
We have the following requirements:
Server side push messages (no client message request) High scalability (should support at first hundreds and later hopefully thousands of CCUs) Secure, reliable layer Work well with most computers, routers & browsers Works with Adobe Flash/AS3
First thing that came to mind was socket connections, but I was wondering, is there a better solution that answers our needs?
I'm currently building an application using the Adobe Facebook API and I've run into an issue where for the login method the Facebook login popup displays but when doing a Facebook share/post the popup is blocked.
This code works fine and displays me a Facebook login popup without question (Firefox):
Adobe flash: How to determine users CPU characteristics? (its mhz, its current ocupation) I need to know how fast is users computer now, and I have only 150 ms for it. How to do such thing in actionscript?
I need to develop a isometric game on facebook like farmvillie, barnbuddy or etc. I found couple of frame works (link is here) to develop it, but they not simple as isolib.So I decided to go with as3 isolib. Google project for that is here.
But I could not find a A-Z tutorial for as3 isolib, except basic (adding scenes, adding map and etc). I want more stuff. So Can you please suggest me a advance as3 isolib tutorial (I googled it 100 times) ?
Anyway if you have suggestion for frame work except isolib to develop isometric game,let me know it also.
i am currently working on a facebook game and i have a problem concerning the integration of a life counter which regenerates over time for a facebook game. The game is a simple Flash/AS3 shooter in which users are competing for the highest score. For monetary reasons every game costs one life and users should only be able to start a new game, if said life counter is >=1. To clear things up, i submitted a link to Popcap's facebook game "Zuma Blitz": ZUMA Blitz I can think of a few ways to do this, but i don't know which is the best/easiest approach. Would it be best to:

I can think of a few ways to do this, but i don't know which is the best/easiest approach.Would it be best to:Make it in AS3 with server communication via php?Or do it in JavaScript and communicate the count back to AS3?Another maybe related question is, how do i tell my database that the data from the life counter should be stored when the game is closed (for example by closing the browser).Can i do this from Flash or do i have to apply a html/JavaScript method?
I plan to use Social Gold for payment in my application. SG site has instructions for using the service and sale of virtual currency [URL]- it using signatures and server requests.However, on the same site is an example of the [URL]In this example, the game absolutely does not use a server method, and sends the secret parameters not safe. I understand that this is done for testing.
Each user my app gets a unique id when registering. Each time the application start accesses the database and gets information about the user: settings, value of virtual currency, etc. After performing certain actions (click on the button, buying patterns) is debit the currency. If the user wants to purchase with the help of Social gold virtual currency, then I need to get from SG service callback that payment by the user with id = '12345' was successful. Yes, I can set in control panel Postback URL, but how it can change the data in my flash application?
How do i create social sites (Myspace, facebook etc) share links in flash- so my site A should have an icon for another site B, when clicked one can go to the site B and share my site A there. is there any component in 2.0 to get it done.. or it simply be adding icons for these sites and using geturl .
You know how you always see Twitter and Facebook buttons on peoples websites? If they click a button, it spits out a link which will appear in their FB or Twitter messages. Wondering if anything like this is possible in flash?
I have been requested to make a port of an iOS game for Facebook.The game itself is fairly simple, it is a puzzle game using a 2d array for a grid with XML passed from a server for loading objects onto the the grid, to create levels.The game will ask questions at stages which will be passed to my server and stored for research purposes.Some questions for those with experience.What front-end options do I have with Facebook? I have looked into both Flash and HTML5/js both of which i have little to no experience in (I'm experienced in Java/C#/Ruby + Rails).Javascript seems like a nightmare from what I have read, even looking into javascript game engines, but at least it is free. My backend will most likely be rails for handling server logic.Summary(because I ramble too much)
-Is javascript for programming games really a problem for simple games on Facebook?
-Are js game engines worth using? Does anyone have any experience with them?
-Would prevention of cheating be possible with a js/rails game, do server side checks work?
-Are there any alternatives for a front end for someone with C#/Java/Ruby background?I've never seen any Unity or Java apps on Facebook(I don't use it much) and I don't know if the licensing will be an issue for this research project.
i developed a social network using flash (actionscript 3) , php and mysql and it interest in some fields of science.i would like from you to test it (if you find any mistake please tell me)
AS3 codes for adding social network icon/links on Flash site? I am designing a website at the moment in Flash and don't know what to do if I want to add social network icon/links on the page by using AS3 code
I'm trying to determine the practical difference between using the com.facebook.session.WebSession and com.facebook.session.JSSession. The documentation ([URL]) has more around WebSession - but the example I have which is closest to what solution I'm trying to implement uses JSSession and it looks like I could avoid all of the JavaScript pass-through & ExternalInterface calls I'm making. It appears that the benefit of using this new ActionScript Facebook API is to avoid having to make all of the Facebook calls via JavaScript.
i need to connect to have a button on my website that connects to facebook (if not already logged in) and posts to the users wall.I've only done this from within an iFrame - do i still need AppId etc etc?
