Over the years I've become an uber-nerd when it comes to flash game development. Now I'm thinking about looking into using my skills for helping other game-developers out there.I want to develop an API in AS3 which will allow the developer to do (as a start) the following:Display a dialogue which lets the user log into their "account" (hosted on my site).Send a score/value to the website and attribute it to the logged in user.Unlock an achievement (achievements will be set up by the developer in the web interface - which is where they will also get a key of some type to use with their API.Display highscores, other players profiles in-game, etc (show basically any stats in-game).All easy enough to develop straight off the bat. However; where it becomes frustrating is security. I'm not expecting an indestructible solution that I'm fully aware isn't possible, but what would be the most defensive way to approach this? One thought I've had was converting my API to a component so there's no access to the code (unless you decompile). The problem here is it's just not friendly to the developers, though it would allow me to create my own graphics for the UI (rather than coding many, many sprites).Private/public keys wont work unless there is very good protection against decompiling.
I'm setting up achievements for a game I'm working on. Flash sends the command to unlock the achievement,as well as the url to the achievement. On my server, I have the code that passes the display order and achievement url from Flash to Facebook. When I press the button to unlock the achievement in Flash, it unlocks successfully in my game and I can see it on the ticker. When I click the button from within the iFrame to unlock the achievement it won't unlock. Logging $result will return 1, but it will not show up in the ticker or count as unlocked.
postachievement.php
<?php include 'src/facebook.php'; $facebook = new Facebook(array([code].........
I've been creating a few flash projects for my World of warcraft guild and one of the things I've been working on is this: http:[url].... The achievements are moved entirely by tweens done within a loop. Yet for some reason the 3rd achievement will never retract and I can't figure out why for the life of me.Here is the relevant code:
Im designing my own game in flash, iv set up a score text box and it works fine. Except i just cant seem to get it to gotoandplay another frame,scene, when it hits a certain score??
i am building a shooting game and i was wondering if it is possible to have the movie go to frame 3 if the score = 500.I.E Score is displayed in a dynamic text box and everytime the enemy is hit the:
_root.score +=50 ============= on the first frame of the film i have the code
My SWF resides on domain A, is loaded by a web site on domain B and is trying to ping URL (URLLoader.load) on domain C. But I am getting "#2048: Security sandbox violation" .. why? Of course I have read the manual, I saw the security white paper but I do not understand it. Don't you know any blog or such where it is explained for dummies? With lots of examples and maybe a table showing what is allowed and what is not?
I 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 get following error: Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: [URL] cannot load data from 192.168.3.5:4854. at TicTacToe_fla::MainTimeline/TicTacToe_fla::frame1() ". I tryed to solve this problem about 3 hours, but I failed I have the file crossdomain.xml in the same folder like my .swf file on the server with this content:
I am getting a strange problem while I am making my release build swf.The swf is supposed to make some internal server calls and then display the data and also play it.When I make a release build swf and excute it, while making server calls it throws exceptions likeSecurityErrorHandler: [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError" bubbles=falsecancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2170: Security sandbox violation:file:///Path to the swf/WebPlayer.swf cannot send HTTP headers to **Method Name to bring data from the server***]And after this nothing can be done as everything depends on the data from the server..I have updated my cross-domain.xml on the server to support the master-only policy file but that also didnt ..My cross-domain.xml is
I haven't fully grasped how the flash security model works, and now I've ran into a problem. I have a base SWF that loads a game loader swf, which in turn loads the actual game.What I'm trying to do is taking a current bitmap snapshot of the running game. This works fine before the loader swf has loaded the game. When the game is loaded, I get a security violation because the game has images pulled from facebook. Is this something that can be solved on my end, or restricted by security in the game swf?
I'm having trouble with an AS3 AMF RemoteObject request that is hosted on App Engine. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root of the domain, and also one at the remoting endpoint.Here are the contents of the root crossdomain.xml:
Loading the swf file and testing it on my machine works just fine... I think that may have something to do with me having the debugger version of Flash Player. When I push it up to App Engine to make it public, other clients access it and get a Client.Error.MessageSend Channel.Security.Error error Error #2048 url: http:[url].......I am using Flex 4 beta, and the App Engine Python runtime. I have tried full wildcard in the crossdomain, and even accessing the data endpoint at a relative URL so as to avoid this error.
I am editing a flash game,I want that whenever user press the submit button,his score should be saved in the database at my Server.How i can achieve this task?I had got the variable in which score is stored.I can i send this to my database.
problem is the score board is shown at the beginning if requested and at the end to show your score when the game is finished. The problem I have is refreshing the scores (replacing the current text in the boxes) rather than just adding the text again into the dynamic text boxes..Here is my code :-
var tab = "game1score";// update for each game // game2score, game3score.... var filesend = "receive.php"; var modesend = "post";
//This is called when the high scores are viewed at the beginning of the game
I'm building a flash-game-site for a while. The big trouble is Secure Score Submitting System .I search on the net and find some ineffective techniques:
-Secret word method: there is an secret word (crypto pass) on the server and flash gets it from server and uses for crypting score data then sends it to server. But the algoritm that does the crypto job, can be accesible with a swf decompiler. Also getting the secret word from server outside of flash is simple. Not safe!
-HTTP_REFERER method: php (or what else) check HTTP_REFERER data to determine where the post coming from. But with a simply firefox extensions, the referer header can be changed. Not safe!
That is my own idea but can only make cracking harder, not more:
-We can get flash vars with js (:swliveconnect) and send to server. Flash just make a fake submit that makes no effect. Just a trick. But not safe
I've been fiddling around with the flash quiz template and it's pretty much what I need to a point. But I really just need is to know how to keep score?
I want to add highest score table in my flash game ? I want to upload my game to web so visitors can play on my page and see how good they were. Im working with as2
Iam trying to make a flash counter for a shooting game where each time you shoot a enemy you get 10 points. Does anyone know the code for score counting. I have made a dynamic text box with the word "Score" in it.
I want to create a very simple game for school. The user chooses answers based on questions, at the end the software presents some choices to the player based upon what they said. They have to choose food they like to eat, and the game tells them about the diet, they have 9 choices.
I wonder how I should keep track of what they player chose, and how to come up with the result based upon those choices. I made it with a score, so each answer had a value, but various arrangements of answers had the same score.
I am working on a flash game which is a shooting egg game. I want to export a score(what ever it may be ) to the xml file so that using php developer can take it from there n post it to the wall just like we play games on facebook n it asks you that "Do u want to post your scores?". The variable of Dynamic text box is score.
I wonder whether anyone knows of a solution to this: I want to embed a Captivate 4 quiz in a flash CS4 file and retrieve the score from the Captivate SWF so that I can use it in my flash file (AS3)- does anyone know a way of doing this (?eg. shared objects?). Communication between Flash and CP seems to be a lot more problematic than I anticipated.
I am creating a simple game where you must remember the name of a number of people. On the stage is a table with faces. Text appears, asking who, for example, "Mike" is. You then have to click the correct face. The questions appear randomly.I have come this far, but what I want to do is the following:
1) Restrict the number of random questions, presumably by adding a variable, with the value incrementing by each question, and tells the movie clip to go to the "game results" frame when reaching a certain number.
2) Keep track of the number of questions answered correctly/incorrectly. I suppose this is also done easily by adding a value for number of incorrect answers, which is increased for each incorrect answer, with the amount of correct answers being calculated like (total number of questions)-(incorrect answers).
3) Display the number of correct and incorrect questions on the "game results" frame. For example "You answered X number of questions correctly, and Z number of questions incorrectly".
I know that the pieces of code below should be used, but I don`t know how to put it all together, or where to put it. I suppose the main code should be in the first frame, and some should be in the buttons.
Code: var questionsAsked:Number;
Code: myValue++;
Code: if (questionsAsked == 20){ gotoAndStop("results"); }
I want to know about hacking a flash game...like in a flash game how to hack to increase your votes or score ... As there are flash games in Facebook,how to hack them
I have a question concerning high-scores.So I'm running an internship at a museum right now and I have made a game that currently saves high-score data through a SharedObject. However, they would rather have it stored online so people can see their scores at home after a visit to the museum, instead of having their own personal local top-10.What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of using mySQL or something of the same sort, yet I have 0 knowledge as to how that's done
The game will be on a school VLE (virtual learning environment) like 'Moodle'. Can you export to email? Spreasheet? Or can it only be done with php? Do not want to be spending weeks on it!
is it possible to use graphics (the numbers 0-9 in one png-file) instead of a Textfield to show the high score of a game to the player? With a TextField it is easy to "refresh" the score but what can I do, if I want to use my png-files for the score? Is there a simple way to do this? How are other flash game designer do it?
My current solution (not tested, just in my head) is, to create 10 bitmaps (numbers from 0-9) or 1 bitmap with all the numbers in it and then convert the current score into a string, split this string and for every digit show the matching bitmap. Update: or should i try to use filters on the textfield to create a "more beautiful" score?
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'm making a game and i don't know what script to use to change the alpha color of the graphic symbol i used.the game is a shooting game, ex: target points is 50, if the score is 25 the alpha color should be at 50%, if score is 50 alpha is at a 100%i tried this script but it doesn't work
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
