It worked great! Except for that one time when my paddle just disappeared for a few seconds and I lost. =(

do you have session_start(); at the top of every php file?

I can tell you this. If you don't have access to a super computer like IBM Blue Gene with 131072 processors, it will take you several life times to decrypt even a normal length password. So how "experienced" you are really dosn't mather, it's all about processing power.

BUT! there's a very easy way if you have access to a fairly large database with passwords and only need get to one of those accounts. Most users are stupid, they don't think: "oh noes, better make a really complicated password so I don't get hacked". It's rather: "better make something I can remember". That's why "asdf" might be the password to rule them all.

With this in mind, all you need to do is find the md5 for "asdf", "qwerty" or any other easily remembered password. Give it a search through the database, and you're almost guaranteed success.

Problem solved, found a movieclip scroller that did the trick.

I need to attach components inside a scrollpane at runtime.
I tried just attaching them using: myScrollPane.createObject("CheckBox","name
",depth) But the scroll didn't want to work with that.

I should probably use the contentPath property to load in a linked MC from the library, but how do I create components inside that loaded MC? Any expert component masters out there who can help me?

I submitted a multiplayer yahtzee like a year ago, it worked perfectly for the 20 concurrent users my version of smartfoxserver supported. It eventually got flagged, I think because I used the standard interface for the chat, but of course the game was programmed by me.

From what I could tell from the reviews, the people that got a chanse to play it, liked it very much. But until I can afford a full version of smartfox that supports unlimited users, and a good server to run it on, I wount be submitting any more multiplayer games.

You can try the multiplayer yahtzee here. Have fun, and bring a friend if there's no one playing! =)

That's a example from Macromedia Flash MX Game Design Demystified, more specificly the trigonometry chapter. I recommend you take the time to actually read the book and understaning the code, rather than just copying it. Then you'll have no problem extending it into a full game. You can't expect helpful guys like Cojones893 to make the whole game for you. Good luck with it. =)

I read through your sponsorship program, and I don't think you'll accept my multiplayer game.

"you must ensure that the only version of the game that ever appears on the Internet is the version that contains all of the agreed upon logos and links. This means that you may not distribute the source files to your game or any versions of the game without the CMG logo and links."

You may have come across the Yahtzee game that comes as one of the smartfox examples, that's developed by me. So I guess I kind of blew it with that, but I'm sure a lot of people found it useful. =)

If you're still want to sponsor it, I can remake all the graphics if that makes any differens. But anyways, I'll make sure to contact you when my next multiplayer game is done, which will be a side scrolling "real time" co-op type of game using smartfox pro. Which leads me to my next question: Is it possible to create our own Zones/Rooms and Extensions on your smartfox server? In that case how?

I'm very interested in this smartfox deal. Which version are you running? basic or pro? And is it possible to get a smartfox multiplayer game sponsored?

Thanks for this one! Very well explained and good examples, keep e'm comming.

Yea, I know how.. But like glaiel said, I could make that kind of graphics on my own.
Let me put it this way, how long did it take you to make those tanks? and how long do you think it takes to learn programming multiplayer games? I can tell you there's a huge time differens, you're looking for a person who's out of your league.

A awesome programmer would most likely require this:
!!MUST BE AWESOME ARTIST AND HAVE A GOOD AND ORIGINAL GAME CONCEPT!!

Don't feel discourage, just keep practicing and someday you'll get good enough to team up with someone. Good luck!

I hate to break this up to you, but you're not allowed to create a collab without having a Flash in the portal. However, I think you're fully capable of running a collab.
I'll be away for 4 days, but If this collab gets popular enough, I'll make something for it when I get back.

A noob to me is someone who tries to look like a smartass when he infact dosn't know a shit about what he's talking about. Plus everyone who starts a MMORPG thread =p

where is the stage that you evolve into normal stage

I would say it's when you have achieved your goals and is satisfied with the result.

I usually give the AI different "states", for example: attacking, defending, scared etc. This way it will react differently depending on the players actions. Lets say the player creates many air units, the computer would remember this and create "anti air units". Another example: The player attacks the computers base, which makes it go into a "defending state", and all its units returns home to defend.

Yes, it will work. Macromedia Flash can import AVI files, then you make the swf by publishing, if you never used Flash you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

I never used 3d canvas, but you should be able to export your 3d animation to a AVI, at least that's what it says on their webpage. "Your animation can be stepped through a frame at a time, viewed in real-time, or recorded to a Video (AVI) file so that you can distribute your creation."

Yes and no.

You can't export directly to a swf, but you can make a AVI file and import that to your Flash program. I think you can figure out the last step to make the swf. good luck.

Indeed. I bought mine 2 years ago, but I don't feel like I have the need to upgrade quite yet. Mostly because it can run most games at a decent framerate, but if you're planning to play newer titles like BattleField 2, a highend card with 256mb of memory is to recommend, for example the geforce 6800GT.

Hey Inglor, the "Tom fulp want you as a mod joke" is old. No one falls for that anymore, come up with something new. (Talking about how you and Toast tried to trick me on msn today). Anyway I hope you decide to join.

GG I'll make something for this collab.

Wasn't Flash 8 suppose to be 20 times faster or something like that? Or was that 8 ball, which will have a different Flash player?

indeed. please practice some more before sending anything to the portal, because this will get blammed.

Sounds like a fun and challenging project, unfortunately I will be away for a year (military training). But if you are willing to wait that long, or aren’t finished when I get back, feel free to contact me.

I'm familiar with turn based multiplayer programming, here's one I made a few months ago Multiplayer Yahtzee. There's probably no one playing, so add me to msn and we can take a match, or start two windows and play against yourself.

Why would anyone need to search for them? They are always on the top, that was my point. =)

Collabs should have their own forum as well, I think the Flash forum is the wrong place. You might not agree and say "well it's Flash!". I always thought that the Flash forums was for Flash questions and discussion like it says: "Ask questions and discuss Flash techniques with your peers." The collabs makes this harder, because people need to bump their threads over and over to get help.

Nahhhh

Holy shit.. whatever you do, DON'T DEFRAG!
I hadn't done it in like 2 years, guess what happened, the defrag crached my harddrive! It's much safer to just format.

If you know your way around in Flash, then the only thing that stops you from doing good Flash movies is your drawing and animation skills, which really has nothing to do with the Flash software. So just keep practising and you will improve.
