Gaming Question
Hello, I need to create a multi-player game with an existing flash game I've developed. I am new to multi-player game development. Is the Flash Media Server the best way to go? If the games were downloaded to the desktop would the Flash Media Server work for connecting users? Thanks!

Still Got Gaming Problems
Still having problems with my small text adventure game,
Imagine every frame is a different scene, is it not possible to say for example that on frame 3 you can select "pick up key", then when you click on that option something tells Flash that you have that key. Then in frame 19 when you "use key on door" it knows you have a key and takes you to frame 20 and if you do NOT have the key it stays on 19 and just says "You do not have key"
I am sure its possible as I have seen commands like "true" and "false" and "else" etc
Would be greatful if anyone would help

Bad Ass Site $$$gaming
I have 1 questions.
1. I want to creat a game website which hosts games for adults and children, use subscriprtion features and charge a small reasonable price per month to each user. Here is how the first game would be. Its a stratigie based decision making game. You have your character but he is controled trough choices the game presents to you through out the adventure. There woud be space, air, and ground style navigation. It would use both in play movement and, fork in the road style decision making with "in flash" CG cinimatics. The Cinimatics being what moves along the story. Would this sell, assuming i have the ability to advertise correctly?
To view my site go to

i need views, opinions , what ever.

Gaming Security It Is Possible?
Hello,
I want to make a game in flash that allows a user to play the game....
and once they are done, it submits their score to my server (which
keeps track of thier account).
My question is this. Is there any way at all I can do this and be
absolutly sur that they didn't hack or modify their score sent back to
me? For example... I don't want someone to start playing... and
instead of my program submitting their high score... maybe they wrote
their own program to submit a fake score or something... or if they
used a hack program to decomplie my swf file and change soem numbers
so that thier score is better than it really should be.
Anyways... the reason I need to know this is because I am making a
website that allows you to play for cash. Real cash. If people to
cheat that would obviously be bad.
I am not sure if this can be done at all with flash (although I really
wish it could because I've been programming flash for 6+ years now)...
but if it can't be done in flash what web langague could I do this in?
I know www.yahoo.com has games you can play for cash along with many
other websites out their (online casinos). How do they do it?
Thankyou for your time and any help you can give

Flash Gaming Help [Cs3]
After two days of trawling the internet (including alot of the posts here) I've come with my dirty knees and cold hands to ask for some well needed help.
I've currently setup a childrens game, with a dog character, see:
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...ragon/help.jpg
Currently I have only coding (autoscript 2.0, I'm having to use this because uni uses flash cs3.) for the dog ''ben'' to move backwards and forwards and to jump..
My issues are trying to get the background, or the ''brown stuff'' to not let ben pass, currently he can just walk or jump straight through them and no amount of coding or movieclips seems to be preventing this.
My other issue is making sure he doesn't go off the left hand side of the screen only the right, so when he moves off the right hand side of the screen, he goes to the next level. Or keyframe.
I hope somebody can help me, I'm definately not getting anywhere wth this!
edit: Oh dear, I may have put this in the wrong place, what a newbie thing to do *facepalm*

Question: What book should I buy?
Purpose: To learn how to code with actionscript to make a game someday .

So many books, and I need someone with expertise to tell me what book should I get.

Gaming Question?
Hey everyone.
I'm trying to develop an online game in where the user has to choose between real or fake, the users choice is compared to the answer then is stored in an array 'No'. The real or fake answers are being fed in from an xml doc. All the code is written on the _root timeline.
here is the code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 35; i++){
var real_button:MovieClip = _root['picture' + i].real_button;
real_button.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onRelease = this.onReleaseOutside = function (){
this.gotoAndStop('over');
this.enabled = false;
this._parent.fake_button.enabled = true;
this._parent.fake_button.gotoAndStop('out');
//trace(real + ' == ' + answer[i]);
_root.No[i] = (answer[i] == real) ? 1 : 0;
break;
};
}
}
My problem is that the 'answer' array is not actually comparing the correct value against the real variable. It seems to be comparing the answser to the last value in the 'answer' array and not the first one.
Any help would be much appreciated

Ive got this semi-finished game? Anyway...
It's got the basics, but i just want to know nothing more but how i could fire a bullet in the correct direction of the ship.
Would it be something like duplicate a bullet at ships position, then set it to ships _rotation, then something like:
ActionScript Code:
xSpeed += speed*Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180)); ySpeed += speed*Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));

Gaming Trouble
Ok I need some major help. I'm making a game and I need it so that teh character movea around with the thrust motion. I have that down but there's one annoying part about the script.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// rotate right or left
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation += 15;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation -= 15;
}
That Part
I need it so that it rotates the direction that it is going without it actually rotating the picture because it is a collction of movie clips that make a character walking. Please HELP.
Thanks

Can Anybody Help Me Please For Gaming Stuff
I have made two movie clip - 1) char1_mc 2) char2_mc
char1_mc is having right side view, that means it walks on right side
char2_mc is having left side view, which moves or walks on left side
If I would be having one single movie clip then i would have able to move it with the code
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
char1._x -= 10;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
char1._x += 10;
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
But my question is
1) If I press right key, i should be able to move my char1_mc to right direction
2) If I press left key, i should be able to move my char2_mc to left direction
3) only one movie clip should be visible at one time like if I press right key only char1_mc should be visible on the stage and if I press left key only char2_mc should be visible.
If you can guide me for this ,
I will be very thankfull to you

Actionscript Gaming
I'm really new to actionscript and I am attempting to make a game. I can make a object move around using the keyboard but I do not know how to make a object rotate when a key is pressed. I also need to have some type of gravity. So when I press right on the keyboard the object will stay on the terrain, even if there is a hill. So...
1. How do I make an object rotate when a key is pressed.
2. How do I make some sort of gravity to keep an object on the ground.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Network Gaming With Flash MX
Hi,
I've heard that there is functionality built into Flash MX so that you could run a Flash game on a network in a client/server mode - ie. like Doom/Quake, etc. where one person starts and runs the game on their PC in 'server' mode and then other people run the game on their own PCs and connect to the existing game on the 'server' PC.
I am writing a multi-player top-down racing game that would be very enjoyable played on a network by 4 (or more) players - each running it on their own PCs.
If anyone has any ideas on how to use Flash in this way, please can you let me know. If it is possible, I'm sure that this will be the future of Flash gaming ... !
Thanks,
HighQueen

Popup Gaming Problem
I'm working on a game and want players after a certain score
to popup a new window showing them a nice picture.
And let them continue playing the game after pressing
the enter button in the previous window.
The popup works fine (using "get url" and "javascript" function.)
But the hit enter button to continue is not working anymore.
(using the keypress function)
Without the popup everything works fine. It's the popup that
does make the problems.
Any suggestions??????
Gaming - Walls (Hittest)
Hi Guys, i'm trying to make a simple game where the man that you control can walk around a top-down view of an apartment.
I can get it so the hittest detects and stops him when he hits the wall, but then he won't move again.
I think it's because the man uses a play() function.
I've uploaded it to: http://download.dhardy.co.uk/Walking.fla
Really am unsure if i'm going down the right path, but hopefully i can get it sorted as i have to have it done by next friday!
Thanks in advance! Dave

Network Gaming Resources?
fellow Flashers,
I have made several single player games before but I am nubie to flash network gaming. Where can i go from here? does anybody know any sites or tutorials out there?
Raskolnikov
AS2 Online Network Gaming
is it possible to have multiple users communicating in real time through a swf online?
at the moment the only way i could think of doing it was with sendAndLoad, reading and writing to common txt files at the frame rate. This, however is obviously a very slow (and jerky) method.
Is there any way to set up essentially a server that users can connect to to share data in real time?
is there a way to use localConnection for this or is that only for swfs viewed by a single user?
Any ideas would be very helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
