My preferred method for finding the score variable in games is to use the loadMovie method in a new blank movie, to load the game.swf file.

Once you've loaded the movie properly, and using CTRL+ENTER to test the movie you can play the game and view the variables while you play.... thus comparing the score you see in the game to the list of variables. Using this method it is very easy to nail down the score variable, as well as every other variable and its purpose.

I have hacked several games, the major problem I am running into is that when the score is submitted it seems to use a POST method, which only allows for somewhere around 255 characters in the post string, and many of the games I have been working on have MANY MANY variables being posted. Still looking for a workaround.

I'm also still trying to figure out how to convert a shockwave game to work with the arcade, but I've made no progress in that department whatsoever. I am an actionscript GURU but a lingo AMATEUR.
