vB Flash Player - Play Any Flash Game or Movie - Tetris, Pacman, Frogger, Minesweeper

vB Flash Player 1.3 - Play Any Flash Game or Movie in vB!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This used to be my vB Tetris 1.2 hack. It's been improved to play any Flash game or movie.

Purpose:
------------------

Install this hack ONCE and you can play any SWF game or movie totally integrated inside your forum! The name of the game or movie will be automatically shown in the page title, forum nav bar, and table heading! Just upload the SWF file to your forums directory and then use this URL (changing it to suit your forum directory):

http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

You can even set the width and height or background color of the Flash movie or game using the URL command line and parameters.

http://www.your-forums.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename&w=1024&h=768&b=000000

Good for those of you who run your site at HIGH resolutions. If you don't enter the width or height parameters, the Flash game or movie will automatically default to 600 x 400. If you don't enter the background color, it will default to your forum page background color. Only registered members will be able to play the game or movie - unregistered users will get the "no permission" log-in page.

Installation
-----------------------

EASY! Takes 1 minute. All you need to do is create 2 templates, and upload 1 file, and you're done. (No db queries to run, no php file edits! )

1) Create 2 templates with the text files included - just copy the contents of the text files into the templates with the same name:
flash
error_flash
2) Upload flash.php into your forum directory. The hack is finished!

Then, to play any Flash SWF Game or Movie inside your forum:
1) Upload the SWF file to your forum directory.
2) Link to this URL (change it to suit your forums directory):
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

Parameters:
--------------------

play = name of SWF file (without the .swf extension - make sure the capitals and small letters are the same!)
w = width of Flash movie or game
h = height of Flash movie or game
b = background color of Flash movie or game (in hex WITHOUT the # - eg. 000000 for black or FFFFFF for white)

To use default width and height is 600 x 400, or default background color which is your forum background color -
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

To set your own width or height:
http://www.your-forums.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename&w=1024&h=768&b=000000

Tetris
-----------

For example, with this hack I've included the Tetris SWF file that was included in my original tetris hack. This game is public domain. To let your members play good old-fashioned Tetris on your forums:

1) Upload tetris.swf to your forums directory (included in the zip file).
2) Link to this URL (change it to suit your forums directory):
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=tetris
The Tetris Flash Game will play integrated into your forums. This works for any Flash game or Movie.

Was it real hard to mod that board the tetris the way you did? I really don't even know where to start, if you would just give me some direction

[John]

Well, it was a lot of messing about. The biggest problem for me is that all of the code is in Italian (I think), it makes it impossible to do anything quickly.

I'm going to try to clean up the file and redistribute it - it should make things easier for everyone out there wanting to edit the whole thing!

Did you manage to integrate the top scores into the mysql database? It won't be that easy...

Nope, not at all... I didn't even get the username of the person who is logged in into it...

[John]

YES!!!

You know when you've been coding for hours, and suddenly you make a breakthrough? - that just happened to me!!

Here's how far I've got:

1. Added the "Play Tetris" action to the store.
2. Clicking on the "Play" button takes you to the next page, where it tells you that it'll cost a certain number of points per play.
3. The tetris page then loads up, checks to see if you're a valid member and have enough points, and then decucts the right number of points from the member's account.
4. The tetris Flash file loads, it shows the username of the member who's playing, and how many points they have.
5. When at the end of the game, it goes to another page where it records the username, userid, the current number of points, and their highscore to the database.

I love vB
