Needs EXPERT Help: 1. Save Game For Replay, 2. Reset Game
I'm rather new to Action Script, but doing not bad. I have searched the Board, found a link to a tutorial on ActionScript[Org], titled: "save a local copy of file". But that was yet not clear enough for me.
2 Questions at the moment (files attached):
1. Save Game for Replay: How can I save the set to a file in the Same Folder so it could reload for further play from that point on?
2. Reset Game: How can I Reset the Game for a NEW Attemp? I need to remove all Actors at once, to start a new game, without closing this SWF and reopenning it.
If you'd be so kind as to explain very clearly, and add Action Script, taking into consideration that I still get confused by trying to deal with Arrays and so. I promise to study your lesson carefully - this GameTest attached is the fruit of this week studies.
THANKS A LOT

[F8] SharedObject, Save Game
Yeah anyone got a good tutorial on how to use SharedObjects. What I'm aiming to do is make it so like you load a flash file from a webpage with _global.blah = 0; so you press a but which changes _global.blah = 0 to 1 and this is then saved so the next time you load up the file that _global.blah will still = 1.
Catch my drift?

How To Save Game In Flash Games
Hey, everyone!
I'm new in action scripting so can anyone please explain how to use this code/tutorial (i got off the internet):
Ever wanted to know how to save your game on a local PC? It can be done using shared ob's.
Object.prototype.setCookie = function(c, n, v) {
var so = SharedObject.getLocal(c);
so.data[n] = v;
so.flush();
};
Object.prototype.getCookie = function(c, n) {
var so = SharedObject.getLocal(c);
return so.data[n];
};
Just let this code run once, and it will do the job (please don't ask me how it works, I don't know, it just works)
Now we can use two functions:
getCookie("name","itemname")
setCookie("name","itemname", var_to_save)
of course name stands for how to call the file, itemname is the subject in the file (you can have as many as you want) and when saving a variabele, it needs to know what to save.
As you can see, you save 1 variabele at a time. In a game, many variabeles influence the progress and need to be saved. I'm working on a game too and didn't want to save each variabele at a time.
This is where arrays come in handy.
Just think of an array as a database, it contains as many variabeles as you want.
You can declare an array in 3 ways, I use only one, because it give's the array's subjects ogical names.
_root.database = new Array(name, age, sex);
Now you have a database Array wich contains 3 variabeles.
You can acces these variabeles using _root.database.name.
After asigning vars to it, you can export it using
this.setCookie("database","item1",_root.database)
and reload it using:
_root.database = this.getCookie("database","item1")
So can anyone please explain this to me?
Thanks!

[Help] Serialize Class Into ByteArray For Save Game
Hi guys
Got an interesting one for you here.
I'm working on a game which is going to need a save game feature. I know how easy it is to write save game data to a cookie but at the same time I've heard how easy it is to edit the cookie and cheat!
All the main data and variables for my game is held inside a class. I've heard its possible to serialize a class into XML, encrypt it and save the encrypted string to a cookie. Then when you load the game you just decrypt the string, and reload everything back into your game variables class. Can anyone give me a few pointers on how to do that cos I'm not too familiar with byte arrays, and serializing, etc.
I was checking out this tutorial on how to convert a swf into a string, and I'm assuming its a similar procedure.
http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=731822
But I honestly haven't got a clue where to start. If someone could help me out here or give me a few pointers, I'd really appreciate it. Or if you know of better ways to solve the problem then I'd love to hear any suggestions you have. Thanks!
Making Save Game Function With Action Script
I have a problem. Please help! I`ve just made a game. I want the game to have the `save game` function. But I don`t know how to use Action Script to write information to a txt file to somewhere in c:. So I wrote a Pascal program to write the txt file. And then I use `fscommand` to `exec` the Pascal program. This method is very tedious, right?
So, would you please tell me if there are any simplier methods to write a txt file to the secondary storage by Action Script? Can `fscommand` do that?
FMX: Save User-drawn Objects And Save/load DXF/DWG?
Hey everyone. Sorry to seem like a leech, but I could really use the guidance. Usually I'm pretty good for finding the solution on my own without having to trouble people, but this time I seem to be coming up short. So thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
I'm developing an auto-cad esque flash application (going good so far too). I have no problem storing object information in a database (xy coordinates, rotation, scale etc), but now my problem is converting that data to another format; specifically DXF or DWG. Now I know the flash environment itself can import/export DXF's, but I don't know how to load the user-made data into the environment. Is it possible to have the environment run actionscripts to build these user-made objects and then manually save that to a DXF? (or even better would be a save/load DXF from the flash player)
Essentially I'd need to know if it's possible for the flash environment to read from my database (probably from reading a PHP built XML file), execute actionscript to reconstruct any objects created, and then let me go and manually (or automatically!) export a DXF of that.
Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated =]
EDIT:
The other very viable alternative is if you guys know of an XML to/from DXF/DWG converter.

How To Save X-y Coords In One Array And Save'n'such
Hello evryone.
just fighting with those array functions in flash.
well, i have a mouserecorder "Paintthingy" which records the mouse coordinates into 2 array's, after that the arraydata will be saved over a php script into 2 textfiles.
works fine, but i have to open 2 url's for that and 2 seperate phpscripts to write x and y seperated in 2 files.
is there a way to save both x and y over 2 own identifiers in an array ? that would help alot, because i have to load that textfile after that, to put the textfiledata in the array again.
easily said it's a very simple paintprogram with save function so that after a refresh the last painting won't get lost.
check the attached file!
Save Button To Save Dynamic Mc's?
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
Problem in short :
Working on interactive kiosk - have button that creates dynamic copies of my parent movieclip (picture of lion) The user would click on button to create copies and using "drag" move the lion to where she saw it on the map.
Once the lion "sightings" have been visally logged on the map, and need to be able to give them a "save" button to save what you see on screen.
Because this is created dynamically by the user, I need a way for the user to save it at runtime.
How would one go about this?
p.s I need to be able to show the new saved file from a remote pc.
Any help - you are my hero
Can't Save File And Can't Save As Either
Sometimes, usually after I've been working with Flash for a while, it won't let me save my work. I get an error dialog saying the file is opened read-only, or another user has the file open. What is most disturbing is that I can't even do a "Save As"--I get the same message. What's even worse, if I quit without saving, it deletes the file on disk! This happens with XP x64 as well as XP Pro.
Any suggestions?

I removed all the heavy graphics, lowerd the fps to 30fps and removed all the code so now its just the bassis left (gravity, collision, key checking etc. and yes u should bounce on the walls giving a wall jump effect).
Anyone please! I am in big need of help!

[F8] Game Studio Needs Flash Game Programmer
Hi -
I've been working on cartoon Flash interfaces for awhile. Now my clients want games, so I'm looking for one or two Flash game actionscripters who can help out and maybe start a studio. Since it's a startup, I'm looking for someone who's good, but not yet making millions - hoping we can do that ourselves eventually. Someone dependable, easy-going and easy to get along with. Would be great to find someone relatively local, but not absolutely necessary.
We'll be creating custom Flash games for an existing client.
Hoping to check out people's games first.

[F8] How Can I Make A Game With Levels And A Game That Restarts?
I know this sounds stupid, but I just can't figure it out. I need to make a platform game. I'm fine with making a points system and a scrolling background and it functions but I don't know how to get the player to touch an object, or reach a goal and then transport to another level...I don't want to make the user have to click something to go to a new level.
Also, when the character hits an enemy, I can make it die, but I don't know how to make a button or something appear saying 'Game Over - Try again', so they can pretty much restart the level.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Regards,
Andrea
Help With A Game.. Game Is Running Slow In Browser..
I am working on this game for work and for now all i have is placeholder art for the most part and nothing very heavy on the graphics end yet my game is running very slow.. i bumped the FPS to 60 since at 30 i was getting image tearing or a double vision effect.. the upped FPS fixed that but the game is still running very slow. To give you an idea of what's going on i have different intervals running so different things can happen at different times.. there are 2 constant onEnterframes for the 2 enemies flying around the screen.. there is 1 for the main loop, 1 for the character, 1 for whenever tickets generate which removes itself and deletes the enterframe when they disappear, 1 for the wrecks that occur on level 2 which also remove themselves and delete enterframes for themselves, and 1 for a holder that handles all the money flying in which removes themselves as they collide with the player or leave the screen. All enterframes that run during gameplay delete themselves at the end of each level and re-initialize at the beginning of the next.
I can't figure it out.. please take a look at the fla and html files attached. Could it be just the sheer size of the game screen.. should i make it about half the size?? I appreciate any help and thank you.
Also the game's scripted animations seem to be running a little choppy if you watch their movement closely like there is a little glitchy jump every second or so.. is this fixable?

Card Game (turn-based) - Lobby Room And Game Room, Maintain State
Hi all, I´m new in this forum, since now i appreciate for any help.
I´m developing a turn-based card game in Flash 8 (multiplayer), using the concepts of lobby and room. In this case when the user login de game, he always see the lobby, where he can choice the games, then the user selects a game in a dataGrid and enter the game.
Inside the game (that resides in another frame in my .fla), there is a button that when clicked brings de users to the main lobby ( gotoAndStop(“lobby”) ) so that the user can visualize the lobby with the game running in background with the others users.
The problem is when the user return to the game ( gotoAndStop(“game”) ), the images, cards, players name and chat history text disappear, all the game object disappear, remaining only the original graphics (movie clips) to the game room.
In fact, I need a solution to maintain the state of the game when the user decide to visualize the lobby (with the game running) and after return to the game.
Thanks for any help.

What I want to happen is each time the player finds a fruit, I want it to appear in the control panel. How do I go about doing this? Can anyone help? Much appreciated! If anyone has an example to something similar to this it would be much appreciated if I could see it! thanks!

Can anyone help me with the "Save" part.
