You might want to add the link using javascript too, so that people don't see it in the source code.

eh, this should be fine.

thanks for the help, guys.

Thanks SpamBurger, it works perfectly.

I want some secret pages of my website that include like, secret cartoons and shit, just like an easter egg hunt. but i dont want people to be able to just link to them, with the post data they actually have to get there.

how do i specify what data to send though? i tried that and it worked, but it didn't send any data. i tried writing get data in the action of the form, but of course that just did get data

is it possible to send post data through just a text link? I know how to send it using a form, but I want just a regular link to send post data. if this requires more than jsut html, can i do it using php?

any help?

Just do it for fun!

Challenge: Do something funny/interesting with this picture of a hamster.

The full contest rules are here. But the most important thing is, the file must be ATTACHED in this thread. DO NOT link to an image on a different site. You can post it here on Newgrounds, but for it to be an official entry, it must be in this thread!

Don't be sour that you have to have an account to post your entry, you can register an account with no email verification.

HAVE FUN!

im not sure if you can in the version you have, but im pretty sure you can. there should be something clickable near the top-right (or bottom right) corner of your timeline that makes a dropdown of frame sizes.

ah ha! "For example, a loadVariables action in Main.swf pointing directly to myData.txt would not retrieve the variable, because the files are in two different domains (yourFlashDomain.com and yourDataDomain.com)."

yeah ill try to figure it out from there. thanks again.

Oh shit! Thanks man, that's perfect. <3

AS 2.0, and I'm using loadVariablesNum. I'm not going to post my code cuz thats a security risk for me, but I know I'm using the function right since it works on my site.

maybe this is why you dont see any in-flash highscore boards on newgrounds? :\

the first link? cuz ive been trying all day and i cant get anything..

i think the problem might be that the made it so it has to be in the same folder, cuz otherwise i could send post data to any random website and screw shit up.

http://www.snubbyland.com/highscores/The _Worlds_Hardest_Game.swf

That is a link to when it works, but thats only cuz its on my website.

I'm trying to program a highscore board for my new game, but for some reason it only works when I test it locally or in the same folder as my game on the internet, even though I'm using an absolute URL. My highscore send/receive php pages are on my website, and when I load/send variables from the from the flash I use http://www.snubbyland.com/......, so it should work right? but it doesn't.

the game

please try hitting the "Leader Board" button the main menu, and if it actually works just post how long it took to connect. but i don't think it will work :(

any help?

You can use a shapeFlag hitTest. It tests the movieclip's registration point is touching what you're testing it with.

For example, if (_root.ground.hitTest (_root.player._x, _root.player._y, true)){ /**/ }

That will see if the players registration point is inside the ground. You can then register the player at his feet and it would work as a slope.

Some people use getBounds in combination with this, but imo that is kinda lame when you can just check player._x + player._width / 2 or player._y + player._height / 2, etc.

So you want somebody to do all of the programming for you and not give them any credit? You make it sound nice but just plugging a code you find in a tut or open source thing isn't an acceptable thing to do. You need to coauthor a programmer because you aren't good enough to do this on your own.

That would be cooler.

why useless variable?

this.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
	prop_mc._rotation += (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)-Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))*15;
};

Yo send me a copy of that

I took a look at that and for some reason I thought it was for txt files only. Thanks a lot, mate.

I want to display the file size of images/flash on the media view pages of my website (in PHP). Is there a function like getimagesize () that I can use to read the filesize of shit? I know I could just record the filesize @ upload using the $_FILE [name] [size], but unfortunately since I have 150+ records that'd be a little hard to implement now.

any help?

I'd definitely buy it from adobe.com.

Tell you what my man, you can check out this tutorial, and you can make your own funky preloader.

The exact same happens to me. For me though, it only happens when I'm working on large files, so what I usually do is write the scrips in a different file then try to paste them in and save before it freezes.

It's annoying and slows you down, but whatever. I think it's the computer's fault.

In Construction Workers or Duck Luck 10 I FBF the body, head, etc. In Duck Luck 8 or School Fool (and like 15 others) I have a character model that I tween the head, body, etc. of. I usually fbf the arms still though. But the FBF ones have much more FBF animation, and no character model (character redrawn every time).

At 10/14/07 02:52 PM, zooominsh wrote: i understand thanks, but it is with levels, but how to make it like swords and sandals , when you put points in strenght you get better attack.

Simple. Have a two-dimensional array of the mins and maxes of the attacks. The first element is the min, second is the max.

var playerWeapons:Array = new Array
(
[0, 30], // fist
[10, 50], // sword
[100, 500] // gun
);

Then, call them like this.

var playerWeapon:Number = 1; // sword
_root.enemyHealth -= Math.floor (Math.random () * playerWeapons [playerWeapon] [1] + (playerWeapons [playerWeapon] [0] + 1));

So the attack power of a sword would be 10-50, gun 100-500, fist 1-30, etc. have fun!

You click it and then you click VIEW, and if that doesn't work for some reason they are in my profile.

Have variables on the main timeline that keeps track of that.

The first variable keeps track of the players level. The second variable is a random number between x and (x + 30). For every level you increase, you minimum and maximum attack values are raised by five.

Level One: 1-30
Level Two: 5-35
Level Three: 10-40
Level Four: 15-45

So once your player's level increases, his attack increases. Make sure those variables are on the main timeline (_root) though!

// AS 2.0
var playerLevel:Number = 1;
var playerAttack:Number = Math.floor (Math.random () * 30 + ((playerLevel - 1) * 5 + 1));

I'm FBF'ing my characters now instead of tweening them. Just, what do you think looks better (from a general audience point of view)?

FBF -- Duck Luck 10 Clip or Construction Workers

Tweening -- School Fool or Duck Luck 8

Any feedback is appreciated :)
