hello,
How do you make a high scrore list for a flash game? Is it more secure to view the high score list in a swf file or in html? thanks |

Ive made highscore lists which are displayed in either html or swf, but both are relatively easy to hack (as my friend demonstrated). It passes the values to a php file which then adds the value to a SQL. I believe it is more secure to display them in flash because there is no addresses to give them a hint to where they are stored. I will dig the code out for you if you want?

Yeah i had that problem so i mixed to gether loads of tutorials. Do you have a SQL host?? If not i have another version that just runs on php, but you can only have a certain number of records.

I will first show you the pure php one as the SQL takes longer to set up.
I cant remember where i got this code from or i would thank them, sorry  .
You will first need a php file called scores.php, with the code:
| Code: |
<?php
$winscore - (int)$winscore
// Create a Blank File if it doesn't already exist
if (!file_exists($filename))
{
$file=fopen($filename, "w");
fclose ($file);
}
// Read the file in
$oscores = file ($filename);
$numreadin = count($oscores);
// Break out the data into a new 2-d array called $tscores
for ($i = 0; $i < $numreadin; $i++)
{
$g = unserialize($oscores[$i]);
$tscores[$i][0] = $g[0];
$tscores[$i][1] = $g[1];
}
// Fill in any missing data with none/0
for ($i = $numreadin; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
{
$tscores[$i][0] = 0;
$tscores[$i][1] = "AAA";
}
// Process the actions
// Insert a score/name
if ($action == "INSERT")
{
// Add name to end of list, and sort
$tscores[$scoresize + 1][0] = $winscore;
$tscores[$scoresize + 1][1] = $winname;
rsort ($tscores);
$file=fopen($filename, "w");
// Write them out
for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
{
$st = serialize($tscores[$i]) . "\n";
fputs($file, $st);
}
fclose($file);
}
// Clear the list
if ($action == "CLEAR")
{
$k[0] = 0;
$k[1] = "none";
$ser = serialize($k);
$file=fopen($filename, "w");
for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
{
$st = $ser . "\n";
fputs($file, $st);
}
fclose($file);
}
// Process the OUTPUT options
if ($viewtype == "HTML")
{
// HTML PAGE CREATED HERE
?>
<table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 border=0 width="152">
<tr align=center>
<th bgcolor="#000033"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">#</font></th>
<th bgcolor="#000033"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Name</font></th>
<th bgcolor="#000033"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Score</font></th>
</tr>
<?
for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
{
echo ("<tr bgcolor='#666666' align='center'><td><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>");
echo ($i + 1);
echo ("</font></td><td><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>");
echo ($tscores[$i][1]);
echo ("</font></td><td><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>");
echo ($tscores[$i][0]);
echo ("</font></td></tr>");
}
?>
</table>
<?
}
// FLASH DATA CREATED HERE
if ($viewtype == "FLASH")
{
for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
{
echo ("NAME" . $i . "=");
echo ($tscores[$i][1]);
echo ("&SCORE" . $i . "=");
echo ($tscores[$i][0]);
echo ("&");
}
}
?> |
this will then need to be uploaded to your server along with a file called scores.sco, which is just a .txt with the extension changed to .sco:
| Code: |
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";} |
Flash time:
When the user submits a score they will click a button, with the code:
| Code: |
on (release) {
_root.scoretable.filename = "scores.sco";
_root.scoretable.scoresize = 10;
_root.scoretable.action = "INSERT";
_root.scoretable.viewtype = "FLASH";
_root.scoretable.winname = _root.name;
_root.scoretable.winscore = _root.score;
_root.scoretable.loadVariables("scores.php", "GET");
gotoAndStop("scores", 1);
} |
Change the GotoAndStop to where your highscores will be, then where you want the highscores to be viewed you have to create a movieClip with the variable name 'scoretable'. This movieClip must include 20 variable text boxes name 'NAME0' upto 'NAME9' and 'SCORE0' upto 'SCORE9'. This is abit time consuming, sorry. The last thing in flash is to put some code on that frame:
| Code: |
stop();
_root.scoretable._visible = "true"; |
This should now work as long as everything is uploaded to the same directory on your server. Hope this works, dont hesitate to ask any questions if you dont understand somthingl. I check posts most days so should be fairly quick response.

.sco should have:
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
a:2:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:3:"AAA";}
which is the default scores. |

Also are you sure that the your scores and names are in the variables '_root.name' and '_root.score'? The second thing to try is to run the code and then check the .sco and see if nything has changed, if it has but isnt displaying in flash then there is somthing wrong with thte scoretable movie clip. If it hasnt changed then there is somthing wrong in the code. Check that then get back to me.

kk, try chaning the code:
_root.scoretable.loadVariables("scores.php", "GET");
Instead of putting scores.php put the absolute address of scores.php and the same with:
_root.scoretable.filename = "scores.sco";
Hopefully that will work
