Newgrounds Api With Haxe

[Sebby64]

I'm making a game with Haxe and trying to use the Newgrounds API to show ads during the loading screen. Within Flash Develop everything seems to work fine, I load the game and I see the ad screen that says "Your Ad Code is Working". But when I load the .swf to newgrounds, all I see is an empty ad screen despite the fact that the connection works...

Connecting to the Newgrounds API Gateway...

Has anyone else had this problem before. I'm not entirely sure that this is Haxe related at all, but you never know.

This was a very simple problem. I forgot to enable Flash Ads in the API Tools section of the project manager.

hehe, that was an easy one.
I'm using the api with haxe too, and what I see is that the ads are only shown then the game is played on newgrounds. When the game runs on other portals (many copied the game from here), no ads are shown...
do you know if this is normal, or i'm missing something?

Hm that's not a problem for me. Are you doing any sort of site lock where the ad doesn't get created unless it's on newgrounds?

Really not. In fact, the ads component is shown (the black box with the NG logo) but no ads loads.

I'm not sure what your problem is. Have you tried uploading to another site (like a swf hosting site) and tried tracing when the API connects to see if it ever does?

Also here is my connecting code... not sure if this is useful to you since it looks just like the example code in the API wiki, but it's worth comparing against.

public function initNewgrounds()
{
	function onAPIConnected(event:APIEvent)
	{
		if(event.success)
		{
			trace("The API is connected and ready to use!");
			// Create ad here
		}
		else
		{
			trace("Error connecting to the API: " + event.error);
		}
	}
		
	API.addEventListener(APIEvent.API_CONNECTED, onAPIConnected);
	API.connect(Lib.current.root, "CODE", "CODE");
}

[Junjo]

The code is almost the same, yes.
As you suggested, I'll put some traces and upload it to an external hosting to see what happens.
Thanks for your help.

How did you link the SWC file to the Haxe Project? I'm having trouble getting it to work and there is very little information on how you can link SWC files to existing projects.

[Sebby64]

In your project.xml file you can put something like:

<haxeflag name="-swf-lib" value="Lib/NewgroundsAPI.swf" if="flash"/>

I used swf's, but swc should work similarly.

[bumblefish]

I did something very similar. I just dragged the swc file into my project and use this
<compilerflag name="-swf-lib NewgroundsAPI.swc"/> in my project.xml.

That works! Thanks so much! :D
