Link to Access is Denied

Hello I have a game "Access is Denied". In Flash CC I put the API Connector on the first frame. However. The API Connectore does not preaload the SWF. THe screen is just white while the game is loading and when it is ready the APIConnector load bar is full and active. I would like the first frame with the API Connector to show up while the SWF is loading. My Project is exported as a class. I use this code in the constructor.

public function Project18() {
			// constructor code
			super();
			stop();
			API.connect(this, '38358:cQAV7Tlj', 'Bme6SV6JEvS5rUCn542PW6X7UT4Dpveu');
			this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
		}
		
		function loading(e:Event):void{

			var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
			var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
			trace(total);
			
			if (total == loaded) {
				init();
			}
			
			removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
		}

also. the API does not connect until I manually add the code in the constructor. I get this error in flash cc's debugger

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Maybe I am doing something wrong? I have seen ads before other movies that use the video player. Is there something other than enabling ads that I have to do?

Thanks for testing guys. DId you see an ads before the video started?

Hello guys I uploaded a new movie (mp4 format). Can you guys test it for me please? Thanks.

I want to make sure that the ads work before I publish.

I already got approved for ads.

Thanks.

Pico means it's working. You don't see actual ads until it's actually published. Are you posting scores correctly? That's the important code regarding your issue.

This game has been published since August 9th. Before publishing the ads worked. Can you see the API output? the I am using API.postScores('scores', score) method correctly.

did you click the link?

It was restricted. Works fine for me, the pico ad, preloader, and scoreboard show up.

The api connecter is the ad. I am using the actual id encrytion key not the placehoder strings. Usualy pico shows up only when I am running the game on my desktop.

Thanks Flying Colours. I have published the game.

I am glad that you liked it. I think today is good day to publish.

It should be fixed now. Let me know.

I would recommend not publishing this yet; it has some great graphics and a lot of potential, but it's not really a game yet. you just click three times and you win the game. Then again I'm drunk right now so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

Your point is valid. but I don't wish to continue with this particular story. I added a tutorial level at the beginig.

Well, after clicking on things randomly I eventually got the message "bye bye robot", so I guess I beat it?

I find this has the same issue I ran into with your other game Force; it's not clear what it is the player is supposed to be doing. Maybe add an explanation that it's a point and click game, or have some sort of hover state on objects that can be clicked (e.g. having them glow red)?

I think you need to refresh your browser. These types of elements have been implemented. Well. I am getting ready to publish. Any final comments?

give it another try. try clicking on objects.

At 3/29/13 08:23 PM, GeoKureli wrote: the camera system is weird too, a click and drag interface usually pans the opposite way. or you could keep it the way it it but don't have to click to look around

The models are good though.

Thanks GeoKureli. I have inverted the camera interaction. The problem I had with the second option was getting consistent and accurate mouse positions. The position of the mouse and the angles of the camera have to be specific for this game.

Hello again guys. I have a new game that i'm working. I will do a better job of implementing suggestions this time. here is the link: http://www.newgrounds.com/projects/games/662320/preview

how do i get points

To get points you hold the flashing arrow. you loose if any of the objects fall off of the map

I have updated the game. In each level the boss has different maneuvers.

I like the zig zag pattern but now level 1 is too hard.

I made less levels and added a power up earlier on in the game. each level is significantly much harder than the one before. I still might implement those changes, hopefully before it leaves judgment. thanks

Thank you guys for providing feedback I have uploaded a new version of the game with less levels and more drastic gameplay dynamics.

Click on the flashing green bar to control force. When you hold the green bar for a certain duration, you gain a point and repeat the process. If an object drops off the map the game ends. Drag the mouse inside the view to change your view.

Hello. I would appreciate it if you guys could help me test my new game "The Force"
