Thanks a lot for the tip Gust, but it didn't seem to work on Newgrounds. It works on Sheezyart but not here.

I gave access to...

<a llow-access-from domain="*.newgrounds.com" />
<a llow-access-from domain="*.ungrounded.net" />
<a llow-access-from domain="*.ngfiles.com" />

...but nothing works. Now what?!

Lo noob. Add that to your site.

Still as arrogant and condescendent as ever, uh Gus?... thanks anyway.

I made a flash game ( http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/41 3995 ) which uses the loadVars object to manage the highscore table. It was working when I tested it on my website and locally on my computer, but this won't work on Newgrounds!

It simply tries to call php scripts locally (same directory, file name only), and if it doesn't find anything, tries to load them from my server (http slash slash)...

Anyone knows what could be wrong?

I think you're the first person who said they'd go back to ME. ME was the worst OS ever. It was full of bugs.

Actually, it was the worse version of Windows [i]when it first came out[/i]. If you install every single updates microsoft has developed since then, it works pretty darn good! That's what I usually install on my old PCs when they can't take XP, and so far I haven't got a single blue screen with fairly functional hardware. It's as stable as 98 with more functionalities.

As I said, don't skip steps. You can't be a doctor if you failed your chemistry class in high school. It's the same thing with programming.

If I wanted to make this online- Like somone on one computer controls one guy and someone on another computer controls another guy- Where would I begin to learn something like that?

I'd begin by learning AS 2.0. Just don't skip steps.

Also, this virus is probably the funniest I've ever seen xP

Please forgive me if this is not in the right forum but who must I talk to if I want to know how NewGrounds is set up (eg. used language (PHP, ASP, Perl, Python), database management system (MySQL, Microsoft, Postgre, Oracle), code structure, average speed and resources consumption, etc.)? I'm very curious about how this site works under the hood, and I would like to know a bit more about it.

However, please don't tell me to ask Tom Fulp, I'm pretty sure he has better things to do than interview some random geek about how the site is coded >_< Thank you.

php ftw

I believe the only use Delphi has nowadays is to teach programming in high school for those who hate Visual Basic. Real programmers code in assembly =P

What's an emo anyway? That might sound stupid but most people don't even know the true definition... not even I!

If you need to wear eyeliner and black clothes and listen to emo punk all day long lying on your bed while automutilating with an X-acto to be emo, then I guess there aren't that many after all, and YES they're plain morons.

If it's just about suffering from chronical depression, then they're simply misunderstood and need help.

...wha?

Could you repeat that, but this time, assume we don't know what's going on in your head.

...new to the intarweb, kid? This is the biggest, meanest and most awesomesauce flash portal in the whole wide world wow wide web, OF COURSE THEY CODED THE WHOLE THING THEMSELVES!... otherwise that wouldn't be very professional. Pretty much like this post of mine and yours combined.

I suppose that if you can stream music from an external source with flash, you can as well do the same with pictures. I'm not sure how this can be done though. I believe it shouldn't be too hard.

By the way, I'd like to congratulate you for your amazing spelling skills, bravo =)

Actually those who wanted to code in Perl ARE the main coders for the site I'm talking about. They seemed to claim that Perl and the Common Gateway Interface had nothing to do with each others whatsoever. And they call ME the code monkey...

An art community that shall remain nameless is currently working on a complete remake of their website. They're actually looking for experienced coders to help working on it so being a rather good php scripter, and knowing their current version is made in php, I decided to offer my help.

Looks like the entire coding crew utterly hates PHP and wants to code the site entirely in Python. Actually most of them particularly like the Perl language, and if it wasn't for the fact Python is more flexible, they would code the site in Perl.

The fun part is that Perl was invented in 1989 and Python, in 1990, a long while before what we know today as Internet became popular. No need to mention those languages were not intended for web development. And good luck finding Perl websites that actually do anything fancy.

What I've been told is that PHP is more flexible than Perl as you're not limited to run scripts in the cgi-bin directory and it's relatively easier to use, as well as having a much larger community than Perl. On the other side, Perl is much more versatile and secure and can be used for virtually anything. However, for a web application, it's still best to use PHP for the reasons listed above. There's no need to reinvent the wheel...

So what do you think? Do you believe Perl should be used instead of PHP and if so, why?

I hope you all realize that the only reason there's still troops in Iraq is really just to take advantage of the situation (eg natural ressources). It's been six freaking years and still nothing seems to be even remotely fixed. If you say the fact we haven't had any more terrorist attack is a proof it's working, I'm afraid it's like saying a random rock on the ground repels tigers because there aren't any nearby.

This war started when a plane driven by some muslim nutcases crashed into the WTC. At this point, we could have simply thightened security in airports and such and sent a few troops to catch the responsible. In six years, what have we got? A dethroned Saddam, thousands of deads and no trace of motherf*cking Osama. Call it conspiracy if you want, but I strongly doubt bringing peace to middle east was the real reason why Bush decided to go to war.

Those sand-eating freaks can work out a solution to their mess themselves. Of course we should get the fuck out of there, we got enough problems on our own like that.

From XE.com; 1 USD = 1.00236 CAD (at the time I'm typing)

At the moment, if you asked for one american dollar and zero cents in a canadian bank, they would charge one canadian dollar and zero cents.

Anyway all this talk about who is better than who is just plain stupid. It's like "My ice cream cone is better than your ice cream cone!" except we're talking about a country. What the hell do anyone gain from it?! You didn't choose the country you got born in as far as I know.

I do wonder why both currency are so close in value these days though. I think a canadian dollar was worth like 70 american cents three years ago <_<; Is canada's economy growing or america's one weakening?

where in the bible is it written that being gay is wrong? I've read the bible and never found anything that says homosexuality is ultimately wrong.

it's a long thread and it's probably been said in an earlier post but america hates EVERYBODY, not just england, you silly xP

Let's see, germans are nazis, britishes are twats, frenches are fucking frogs, canadians are wussies, africans are savages, mexicans are lazy bastards, russians are commie pigs... damn I know I'm forgetting something.

No no no, that's pure bullshit. Air is much much better; http://www.theaircar.com/

Plus, these cars are actually already sold in France and Germany, and Canada is also taking interrest in those =) I'd love to see those cars on american streets!

It takes a god damn redneck to whine and cry over something that's happened 6 years ago to people you don't even know. Sure, it's sad, hundred of people died because of middle east terrorists but shit happens, and not only in the US, so get over it, beyotch.

The real terrorist is the US government for exploiting this event in his favor.

also i'd recommend you actually take a beginners actionscript or even just plain coding tutorial. the conditional operators are the very basic of programming after all...

I guess it's a good start for beginners, assuming you did this in photoshop. Save it as jpeg high quality so it's both nice looking and small in size.

whaaat?! only 600?! they're going bankrupt for sure.

no need for fancy mathematical formulas, just define a gravity variable that adds on each frame to the vertical speed if nothing is under the player and a jump speed to set on the player when the jump button is pressed and there's something under him. For example, if you set the jump speed to 4 and the gravity to 0.2, the player will jump, setting the vertical speed to -4, and since nothing will be under him 4 pixels upper, the speed will increase of 0.2 at each frame until he reaches the maximum speed (that you'd have to set as well), giving the impression he's jumping in an arc shape. Disable horizontal movement if the player has nothing under him if you don't want him to move left or right in the air.

That is assuming you defined a horizontal and vertical speed variables that add to the player's position in each frame.

I would give you as code example but I'm too tired to think of anything.

I very well know I shouldn't say that but to have to pay 700$ on a piece of software to make crappy flash movies really makes you want to break the law with a cracked version... especially since most of you legal users will never actually make money out of it except for sponsorship from armorgames and such but that doesn't really counts.

reading it quickly it seems you're mixing (") and (') characters a bit too much...

try replacing... " SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' "

with... " SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='".$username."'"

ArmorGames offer sponsorship. I heard they can give you up to 500$ to have your flash on their site if it's good enough.

Oh Tom I LOVE YOU! ;o;

You truly are an icon of professionalism in the domain of amateur websites. Who would have thought this once neo-geo fan site would become such a massive internet community?...

I wanna be just like you when I grow up! =^o^=
