Php :: Reporting True Game Scores In Flash?
Jan 26, 2011
Im making a flash game and just wondering, how can I protect the ingame scores from being hacked ? For the moment im using a random number, which is set on the server and sent to the client, then using a hashing function which will hash 'score+randNumber' (a bit more complex, but the same idea), then i send the resulting score and the hash to the server (obviously logging attempted cheats). This so far works, but it is still easy to hack the score by decompiling the flash and finding out what the hashing formula is. Is there any other way that the scores can be transmitted to the server with little or no possibility of hacking?

I have a simple flash based quiz game with simple score var and percentage var. I am wanting to a high score function to it as motivation to my kids by creating healthy competition with high scores. This is not a web based game. I found many PHP high score tutorials but wont work for me.

I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million different ways to create a high scores board on a flash game. So I decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try. Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game. [URL]
That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board. When I finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt. After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board I am getting very frustrated. My game is scripted in AS2 and I have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.

I've been asked if I can build a game, which lots of people will play and the overall winner will get a prize.The game part is simple enough, and I know enough PHP/MySQL to put something together to store the results etc. But is there something already available which could do this part for me, it would save a lot of time, and would probably be better than something I build myself.

I need to compute scores and would also like to notify users on their progress.There are 5 questions , 20pts each = 100pts;
I built two arrays (rightAnswers will compute scores and completeAnswers will give them their progress :
var rightAnswers:Array = new Array(next1_mc, next2_mc, next3_mc, next4_mc, next5_mc); var completeAnswers:Array = new Array(submit_btn, submit2_btn, submit3_btn, submit4_btn, submit5_btn);
I know I need to set them both at 0 something like: so I think the function for the FIRST progress_txt (twhich their will be 5 for each question completed)<<clueless on this one
function computeProgress(code)......

I want to make a soccer score game. A game that shows classic soccers results realtime with the score at the point they where scored.
An example:
World Cup 1986 Mexico
West Germany - Argentina
The final score 2 - 3
The players who scored and the exact time:
---West germany---
Rummenigge (74 min)
Voller (82 min)
------------------
---Argentina------
Brown (23 min)
Valdano (56 min)
Burruchaga (85 min)
------------------
The total of matches with data like above is 45.
The total time of a soccergame is 90 minutes.
And further more I want a start player selection kind-of-thing like this:
USER INPUT
select game [] (ex. VM 86 mexico, VM 94 USA etc.)
select number of players: [] (ex. 4)
select number of games pr player [] (ex. 5)
Select total time of playing [] (ex. 60 minutes)
Write the name of the players
1. Load external data (the pool of matches)
2. Get user input
3. Select random matches for the players
4. Calculate the time (90min/60min etc.)
5. Tell clock countdown the time and start the countdown from 90min to 0min
6. When a scoretime is equal to clockcountdown time then display game score and the soccerplayer who scored and the name of the player who got the match.

I have an html text field that displays content from an xml file, and a class that determines whether or not to show a scrollbar.The code that determines this is as straightforward as
if (field.maxScrollV>1){
showscrollbars()
}
And 9 times out of ten it is working. Sometimes - it seems when the html contains <li> - maxScrollV is reporting '2' and the scrollbars are showing, even though all text is visible onscreen and it will not actually scroll at all.

do I have to pre-render scores in a game? I ask because I'd like to scale and fade in and out each score. Pre-rendering makes sense if you have to do it once only, right?
Does it take too much resources when pre-rendering each dynamically created scores individually? What are alternatives when performance of a game is important?

I need a way to be httpClient. I found some implementations - but I am looking for something built-in for posting to an HTTP server. In order to make it "relativley" secure - I figured I would keep a password file/or a const variable. Read it, hash it, send it to the server. The server will have the same password, and so it will too hash it. Is this reasonible? I understand the problem of reverse engineering etc. What do you think? How can I access MD5 etc. in flash?

I have a flash game. I've been trying to connect it to a php website that uses a mySql db. It works when I "test project" it from flash, however when I run it from a player/browser it raises errors about accessing a site. What setting need I ask from my users to set in their flash player - I have personally looked for the right settings and found nothing about approving sites. Is it possible that if both my game and my php site reside in the same base url - that is same server - that this error shall not appear? I really want to test this my self, but my server is a free server and doesn't allow me to upload certain files that are heavy.

Is there a defined way to report bugs with the autoformat system to adobe (or do they even care may be a better question)? Also, is there a list anywhere of known bugs in CS5?In the last 24 hours I have come across several, and while some may be hyper specific (e.g. if you comment out a for each in loop and the comment is followed by a for in loop it will put semicolons where they dont belong and cause a syntax error), others are easy to do and hard to figure out (e.g. comments inside of for loops mess things up).

I have an app that loads large imagery and swf assets on demand, presenting a movieclip that displays load status based on a ProgressEvent listener. When run locally and off of my own server everything looks as it should and I get accurate bytesLoaded and bytesTotal figures producing the correct load % displayed. However, when published to my client's server, the load status starts at 100% and doesn't ever change. The even stranger thing is that in Firefox it says 100% Loaded but in Safari it says Infinity% Loaded. Are there web server settings or differences I should consider here?

I am preparing an offer for a customer. They proide weekly data to different organizations. There is huge amount data suits OLAP that needed to be visualized with charts and pivot tables on web and custom reports will be built by non-it persons (an easy gui). They will enter a date range, location which data columns to be included and generate report and optionally export the data to Excel. They currently prepare reports with MS Excel with Pivot Tables and but they need a better online tool now to show data to their customers. Tables are huge and need of drill-down functionality. My current knowledge Spring, Flex, MySql, Linux. I have some knowledge of PostgreSQL and MSSQL and Windows. What is the easiest way of doing this project. Do you think that SSRP (haven't tried yet) and ASP.NET better suits for this kind of job. Actually I prefer open source solutions. Flex have OLAP Data Grid control which do aggregation on client side. JasperServer seems promising but it seems I need enterprise version (multiple organizations and ad hoc queries). What about Modrian + Flex + PostgreSQL solution?

How do I go about creating a socket based status reporting system for an AIR app? What I have in mind, is you connect to the app via socket connection with some sort of terminal. It presents you with a list of options, you issue commands back, and it reports back any stats and messages. (This is for an app running on a remote kiosk, connected via 3G.)

I have been experimenting with supplying better debugging information when an error happens in asynchronous code in AS3.
As an example of the poor error reporting be default, take the case where I force a null pointer in a Timer callback (github gist), I get the following stacktrace back on the console:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Function/<anonymous>()[/[path-to-source-file]/TestClass.as:14]
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
This tells me very little about how the timer callback actually links to my code.
The question is: How can I get information about what code created the callback?

detecting the totalFrames of content loaded into a Loader?
I made a dummy animation just for testing (150 frames of text just tweening across the screen) to load. I load that in and when it's loaded I'm always told it's only 2 frames long.
e.g.:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code].....
I just wrote that by hand now as an example so there might be a typo here or there but you get the general idea. I'm using CS5, flash player 10, just testing the movie and every time it traces 2 total frames. how to tell how many frames the loaded content actually has?

I will be releasing my Air/Flex application soon, but I am pretty sure there are a couple of bugs that may pop up on the various platforms that Air is available for. So I was wondering if there is a way to implement a mechanism, that would send an error report, logging where the error happened, to a remote server each time an app crashes? This way I might catch errors that otherwise would go unnoticed.

My only experience with Flex is some limited reading over the web. What i am wondering is if i want to use Flex or some variant of it for generating reports, specifically Charts, coming off a Java/Oracle backend can i accomplish that in an environment where the streaming media (we cannot play videos on our systems at work) is turned off? Also, are there any other restrictions revolving around using Flex for reporting in the form of charts? Currently, we use Jfree Chart API to develop charts but just exploring an alternative.

How do I add numbers in Actionscript 3? I have two dynamic texts
totalscore.text = "3"; and
myscore.text = "2";
I'm trying to add them like this
totalscore.text += myscore.text;
And I get this answer 32 instead of 5 it just attaches them instead of adding. why? I also tried it like this
var my_score:Number = myscore.text;
totalscore.text += my_score;
But it still attaches them numbers together instead of adding.

I'm trying to make a very simple flash game for my college project. The players will get 1 point each time they click on certain object. I've created 3 scenes and each of the scene has score value. I want to total up the score at Scene3. FYI, I use:
1st Action Script add this to the variables frame:
_root.total = 00;
2nd Action Script add this to each of the hit sections in the Action Script frame:
_root.total = Number (total) +1;
how to add up the scores from Scene 1,2 & 3?
