Flash :: Network Multiplayer In Flash?

Multiplayer In Flash
I have a car racing game which I want both people playing at the same time in diferent computers.
I was told that you need to use something like XML socket for that, but I don't even know what's that.

Can anyone point me out a tutorial for making multiplayer in flash?

Thanks in advance.

Flash And Multiplayer
I am attempting a senior project for college that involves the use of Flash to play an on-line game for two players at a time.

I don't see a whole lot of tutorials out there that deal with getting two players together in a game using flash, and I don't mean two players at the same computer.

If anyone could point me in the right direction for some heavy reading I would appreciate it very much.

Multiplayer In Flash?
Well I'm not entirely new to flash... but I this isn't a pro question either haha... Basically what I'm looking to do is create a multiplayer game nothing crazy.. but just a multiplayer platform game. What I'm wondering is, is if it's possible to create real time multiplayer flash games. I was looking into smartfox server and I saw a lot of simulated real time multiplayer games but that's just not going to cut it. Anybody know if what I'm trying to do will work in flash? or would i just be beter off looking into shockwave or something like that? The reason I want to use flash is because it's so versatile. Thanks

Multiplayer Flash Games
I am very competant with flash and have created a few single player flash games among other things. I am now looking to expand and i am interested in creating a multiplayer flash game. However i have very little idea how to do this, basically at the moment im looking to create something were users can login and join a room, then from there if there are other people logged in, they can play each other. I also have experience with php and mysql if that is needed for this.

I would be grateful for any tutorials of links anyone could offer, or maybe just any general help.

Flash Multiplayer Game...
I've been researching and planning a project and wanted to ask a few questions first. Hopefully I can get some assistance, I know I'm at one of the best resources out there.

I am planning on making an online fishing game, multiplayer, using mainly flash for the graphics / programming. I know I am going to need Communication Server also. I am also going to be using Flash and Microsoft Access to create a forum section. I can create the realtime chat room using Flash and Communication Server, I believe...

What Im hoping to have is tournaments where members logged in, can play the flash fishing game, ( it is going to be very realistic when it comes to fish species, colors, baits, lures, time of year, time of day, water temperature, fish location, etc... ) and the player that catches the most weight in their livestock, will be the leader of the tournament, I need flash to keep track of the players scores at weigh-in time, and post the results on the website, should that be done using actionscript or something else?

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get on this matter.

Thanks a lot everyone...

[F8] Multiplayer, Onlne, Flash
I need help making my flash games online so that one person can play the other over the internet. I would like a script that allows you to move around and see the other people moving around also. I am using: flash 8, mysql, and php.

The script I currently have is too slow and lags a whole lot. Heres the basic idea around the script i currently have:

var vars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
vars.load("random php file that loads the variables from mysql");
vars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
//load yours and every1's x and y axis then create the movie
clips and move them to their location.
}
}
onEnterFrame = function() {
vars.load("same random php file that loads the variables from mysql");
vars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
//load yours and every1's x and y axis then creates the
movie clips and moves them to their location.
}
}
//more script used to move your character
vars.load("random php file that saves data into the database");
}

As you can see it has a lot of lag due to loading a php file twice every time the code repeats. Thats about 1 php file for every 1/24th second. I need a script a whole lot faster than that. Any suggestions?

Flash Multiplayer Game
How exactly would I go about this?

I'm considering making a multiplayer monopoly game, I've never made anything multiplayer before so I thought I would start with something like this. (This does seem relatively simple, to me at least.)

I don't really need accounts or anything complicated, I would just like to know how I can get multiple users to view the same game screen at the same time. Online. I'll worry with more complicated stuff later.

There seems to be a complete lack of online multiplayer tutorials. Is this because they're too difficult to make?

Thanks. : )

I'm using Actionscript 2, however I can upgrade if it's necessary. I've been meaning to for a very long time...and have necessary fundage too.

Multiplayer Flash Game..
i'm having some trouble.. i'm working on a multiplayer flash game using the xml socket.. well the problem is it does nothing when it recieves data.. the server is hand written in vc++ and works fine, i tested it with a dummy client written in c++.. strangley it behaves as expected with onClose and onConnect..
help

Code:
_global.recieved=new XML;
_global.mySock = new XMLSocket();
_global.myConnect = function() {
return mySock.connect(ip, 8888);
};
mySock.onConnect = function(success) {
if (success) {
_root.myControlClip.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = 'Ai fost conectat.. ';
}
};
mySock.onClose = function() {
myControlClip.gotoAndStop(4);
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = 'Ups..';
};/*
mySock.onData = function(){
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = '*****';
};*/
function myOnXML(recieved) {
trace("**");
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = "**";
//_root.myControlClip.myMsg = XML.toString(recieved);
_root.myControlClip.gotoAndStop(3);

Fast Paced Multiplayer In Flash
Hey!
Before you start reading don't blam, this is not a noob post.
I got SmartFox and learnt how to do it quite well. So far infact I linked a prototype tile game up with SmartFox with unlimited numbers of players. However there is one problem. I found using the inbuilt function SmartFox offers the connections can be slow to send and recieve (not high ping just not enough messages sent). So i set about writing the server side script in SmartFox. I did a really simple one, the simplest possible and while it did improve the situation it was still really crap. The players didn't lag they just jittered as the messages inbetween were lost but were sent. I know this is got round by adding forces with each message so the player still moves. However I tried this and there was still much lag. I think the reason maybe because every time the message is sent flash needs to check it first. I'm not sure though because I don't know much about servers.

There are no fast paced multiplayer flash games. Maybe because the server is too expensive. The only one is XGenStudios - Stick Arena but they like scripted their own socket server!

Is there any solution?
Thanks for your help,
Dan

Massively Multiplayer Online Flash Games
Hello, I was recently wondering about something. Well, I'm sure we've all heard of ***** Hotel (http://www.*****hotel.com/)...but, now...I'm really wondering just how they do it? Does anyone care to share the secrets of what Flash MMOG's (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) are all about and what Sulake (http://www.sulake.com/), the people behind the programming, are all about?

I mean, I really want to start getting into the habbit of making my own (they are a money pit). And I believe that I can make a much nicer one...something with more of an edge. In any case, will anyone please tell me what tools or things I might need as well as what I need to learn? Perhaps even some tutorials on it?

Any help would be appreciated...

Need Advice From A Flash Expert On Multiplayer Game
I have a client that wants a free online poker game using flash on his website. I have created different flash chat rooms before without the server software by using the loadvariables command to post information and retrieve information from an sql database. There was little if any lag with those chat rooms.

I know you could never use that type of setup for any kind of action game, but with a turn based game such as chess, poker, battleship, it works well because the half second delay doesnt make a difference.

My question and concern is, this guy has over 10,000 visitors a day, and im curious what kind of load that would put on a system like this. This might be more of a server question, but my chat rooms were fine with 100 or so people. Just didnt know if 10000 would make it worse?

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

Help From Network Users - Using Flash
Hi to all, and thank you in advance for your help.

Just a quick request to ask for your objective feedback on this site we're in the last stages of development for with Banrock Station. I've a few issues I'm trying to iron out with the development team and I'm hoping I'm not the only one.

If you've a spare minute, can you head to http://svc037.bne147v.server-web.com/

The sites been built for higher bandwidth, advanced users so please take that into consideration, although the impact that this has on the broader user experience is what I'm interested in.

If you do have a chance to take a look at the site and can spare the time to jot down your experience, I'd ask you to also put in your feedback what your current desktop/ network setup is, (ie - dial-up/ office network, pc/mac, explorer/ netscape, flash/quicktime, nfi, etc.).

There's some neat little treats in the site, (webcam, virtual tour, winemaking process animation), linked from the icons on the home page. I'm just hoping you can see them?

Greatly appreciate your feedback.

Cheers...

[CS3] Flash App Across A Local Network?
Hey - Got an upcoming project where there will be 3 kiosk like computers all running a Flash application. They'll need to communicate with each other running a simple game (i.e. imagine 3 kiosks all playing a game of blackjack across the three terminals where the three players / kiosks are playing against each other).

What is the best method for accomplishing this? I'm assuming we'll need to set up a fourth computer as a local server of some kind to handle the communications but I wanted to get some feedback here.

[Also - I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. It kind of spans AS programming as well as networking / servers so I wasn't sure where to put it. Thanks in advance for the help]

Help - Flash Cookies Across A Network
hello,

I need to create a flash movie that remembers where the movie clips are when you leave the movie, or when a button is pressed.

I can do this on my own computer using the shared object feature, and it works fine. However, I need to make this possible across a network.

Basically, its for 4 people, so that they know where each other are. Whether it be in a meeting, in one office, or another. But that's irrelevant really.

The movie will be hosted on my computer, acting as a server using IIS.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks, any help is appreciated!
