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:

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.

The simplest answer is that you have got the name of the SWF file wrong.

Make sure you put the filename WITHOUT the .swf and make sure you got the case exactly right (if it's capital letters, put it as capital letters - small letters, put it as small letters).

For example, if you want to play this file:

ExamPle.swf

You need to use this URL:

http://www.your-forums.com/forums/flash.php?play=ExamPle

If you use "example" or "Example" it wouldn't work - it must be the exact case.

That is true actually...

Again, that is extremely easy to set up.

Just create a new subdirectory called "flash" in your forums directory.

Then, in the "flash" template, find the 2 occurrences of this code:

bburl/

Replace with:

bburl/flash/

Do this twice - there are 2 instances of this code.

This is only if you want to place all your Flash files into a subdirectory.

yep thats what i did alright, just checked :banana:

[Keyser S?ze]

ok well it works great, but i still keep getting "error no permission" errors whenever i go from the flash to the forums

going to try to instead of having the link index.php, chage it to the real like to the main forum

-edit-

that works now

[Keyser S?ze]

full of good ideas today, this one i know how to do

major easy

save room on your flash areas, get rid or the useless header, ppl dont need it while playing a game,

go to template flash (and if u wish flash_menu) and take out $header

saves alot of room and since there already is the link to go back to the board u really dont need it there
