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.

Although, I am 100% confident that I have installed this hack correctly. I have gonbe back and double checked what you have suggested. However still, when I try to pull up the game at:

http://www.mentalmingle.com/forums/tetris.php

it says the page remains on 'opening page tetris.php' as seen in the status bar????????

open up your tetris template and find following and mine works so see what is different

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="tetris.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE={pagebgcolor}> <EMBED src="tetris.swf" quality=high width=550 height=600 bgcolor={pagebgcolor} TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"

Example :

VALUE="tetris.swf
EMBED src="tetris.swf

This is amazing. I really cannot wait for this great addon. If i come up with some music for this game like OLD SCHOOL TETRIS musci from the old games would u like to add that in? There could be an on and off button for the music or something. I think that would be some hot addon for this sucka. If I come up witht he music and you thinkit is a good idea tell me your email address John so i can email you it. I really think that would be pretty hot.

Mr_P · #**195** 08-13-2002, 11:55 PM

music from tetris on the c64 was the best in fact why not have a few tunes - throw action biker in as well ( i hated that tune as it stayed in me head all day LOL)

Erwin · #**196** 08-14-2002, 12:25 AM

Wow, John, you've spent a lot of time adding stuff onto this hack!

This is what this forum is about - people building on top of each others hack, improving one another's forums together.

John · #**197** 08-14-2002, 12:29 AM

A month or two back I didn't know the slightest thing about php, and now I'm coding all day!

This is going to be one hell of a hack

(Still dreading typing out the instructions!)

John · #**198** 08-14-2002, 12:56 AM

Ok, time for another update.

The Store Addon Version of this hack is very close to completion, only a few minor bugs and details to finish off. The Tetris only version shouldn't be too hard to adapt, so I can get that done fairly quickly afterwards.

The comments system is working properly, and it's good

BigJohnson · #**199** 08-14-2002, 01:18 AM

I like the tetris 2 song you have John I would love it if you could add that. I would love you. lol. Well not liek that hahaha. add that if you can. That would be so so so hott. I really cannot wait for this hack to be done. Keep up the great work and keep us informed because I want to be one of the first ones to install this bad boy. Thanks again.

The biggest problem is that you can't import MIDI files into Flash, if I tried an mp3 it'd take ages to load. I have an idea tho...

By the way, are you waiting for the Store version or the standard version?

BigJohnson · #**201** 08-14-2002, 02:00 AM

I am most definatley waiting for the store version. I really can't wait till that one is released. I am not to interested in the other version but is appreciated that you care about other members that want it as well.

I really just cannot wait for the store one. I love the idea of it. My memebrs would love this feature so much.
