serverside newgrounds

[ActionScripts]

hey I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldn't find much in the forums:
what serverside technology does NG allow? I realize we can't just call .php scripts, is there anything at all that can be used?
any info would be useful thanks

Why would you need to...?
Actually, I'm confused, explain further please.

NG won't allow you any backend resources, but you can take the RSS feeds and do whatever you like with them.

I've seen multiplayer games on NG. This means there is some kind of backend ability right?
I want to know for things like highscores and such.

tsk tsk tsk.
ill be less of an ahole today

NG dosnt proveide with any kind of database storage or something like that. What NG provides with is a storage space foor the game itselfe, the actuall account management in the games submitted here is done thrue theyr own servers or webhosting servers they have themselfes, and highscores work as that as well. So NG dosnt have any backend tools.
so to ut it simple
If you want to to anything with either a highscore or a multiplayer game you have to have a databse stored someplace else wich you link to in your game

Ahh right yeah. But this would be processed on your server, not NG's. You can pass variables through Flash sockets, or using XML and PHP - you might be best off asking about these things in the Flash forum as I'm sure they get a lot more posts along the lines of this.

I think SmartFox is pretty popular.
