Usage

import com.newgrounds.API;
API.connectMovie(api_id:String, encryption_key:String, debug_mode:Boolean);

• api_id - Your API entry's ID.
• encryption_key - Your API entry's encryption key.
• debug_mode - If true (recommended), the API will run in debug mode when running locally and on preview pages.

This command connects yo the API gateway and retrieves your settings. This call will fire an API_CONNECTED event.

Depending on what tools you have opted to use, this may also trigger the following events:

• ADS_APPROVED - Your game or movie was approved to run ads.
• HOST_BLOCKED - The site hosting the swf does not have permission.
• METADATA_LOADED - Medals, Scoreboards and Save Groups are loaded.
• NEW_VERSION_AVAILABLE - The swf is out of date

  Example

  The following example demonstrates how to connect to the API with debug mode enabled

  Actionscript 3.0

  import com.newgrounds.API;
    

import com.newgrounds.APIEvent;

function onAPIConnected(event:ApiEvent):void { if (event.success) { trace("You have connected to the API"); } else { trace("The connection has failed"); } } API.addEventListener(APIEvent.API_CONNECTED, onAPIConnected);

API.connectMovie(<api_id>, <encryption_key>, true);

Actionscript 2.0

import com.newgrounds.API;
import com.newgrounds.APIEvent;


function onAPIConnected(event:ApiEvent) {
    if (event.success) {
        trace("You have connected to the API");
    } else {
        trace("The connection has failed");
    }
}
API.addEventListener(APIEvent.API_CONNECTED, onAPIConnected, true);


API.connectMovie(<api_id>, <encryption_key>, true);
