The games are compiled in Flash MX, and it transmits the score data using the HTTP POST method (sending the data through the HTTP header). There is a slim possibility that you have an older or incompatible version of the Flash Player, but I'm not sure how much of an issue that could be.

If it's going back to the arcade main page, then it means that the arcade is not getting the post-game information at all. Definitely some sort of browser/flash player issue then (if the script is called with no variables, it defaults to the arcade main page).

Maybe try upgrading your Flash player?

I've got the latest flash player, same problem.

cleared all temp internet files. Deleted all cookies. logged in fresh. same problem.

I don't know if this'll matter any, but the link that it says it's linking me to in the status bar is afterblur.com/vb/proarcade.php No extended variables, or anything, just a direct link. I don't know if the other superfluous information would show up in that link, but... it doesn't.

are there any dependancies on linking the user to the comments page? Like, does the script check for something before linking, that I might not have?

Since the variables are being sent from the game to the script via POST, nothing should show up in the address bar -- that is the difference between POST and GET. If it were GET, you would see something like:

proarcade.php?var1=something&var2=something (and so on)

I'm not aware of any dependencies. I wish I had a good answer as to why this might be happening. Since it works for the majority of users, I'm not sure where to look for a "fix" or even for the problem.

My guess is that it has something to do with the getURL() method in Flash's ActionScript not doing something correctly (say, headers getting corrupted, or something similar) but I honestly have no idea what I could do to isolate this.

Perhaps somebody out there more experienced with Flash might have an idea on this?

You rock Futureal! I've got the games installed and working great on my site now. My users love them! I can't wait to see this once it's complete! :)

The user that I said had the same problem, said he had the problem on other boards with this hack as well. So there's gotta be something....

I will keep thinking about it to see if I can come up with anything. I don't have any ideas at the moment, though... :(

well....i just installed it.....no errors BUT the games do not show up when i go to...

proarcade.php

i'm guessin i missed a query? i installed it once by manual then again by vbhacker...no luck

so it gotta be a query....cant find it though

It looks like the games are not set to active. Go to the Game Options in the Admin CP and make sure each game is individually set to active.

If that isn't the problem, then... I dunno. Check the arcadegames table and make sure that the games are installed into that correctly.

of where it says url to games in the arcade options i had to change it to


http://www.myurl.com/forums/games/

or they were just comeing up black screen or white screen not loading :(

Hm.. I got no errors now, but I still can't see any images after I upload. All I see is broken images..
