Highscore testing/help

[Snubby]

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?

Hey Snubbz ;)

Nah man, the first link didn't work for me :S
I'm not sure whats wrong with it, sorry i can't help but yeah, it didn't load the scores at all.
The second link was fine.

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.

What version of ActionScript are you using? Also, what method are you using? If you are using AS3, there are security issues with which you will have to deal.

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? :\

I'm still waiting for the scores to load on the first working link D:.

Nice game though, challenging, but I've definitely played harder ;).

Consult the following link:

It provides two methods that allow for access of data across different domains. You may be able to adapt one to your situation. I would imagine something similar to the second method may be possible.

theres going to be 50 levels, will get harder and harder.

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.
