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.

Erwin: The only different thing I did to my site besides changing the domain, was CHModed some files and folders to use (edit, etc) with your VBFTP hack...

In fact I chModed those to 777 except games, but games folder and forum folder are 777. Does this has anything to do with it?

Erwin · #**393** 12-15-2002, 06:49 AM

CHMOD would make no difference. It's probably something simple stopping you, like the wrong filename case...

Julio · #**394** 12-15-2002, 01:13 PM

Erwin:

What is strange is I can "play" the games locally...but online...it will show a blank space where the game is suppose to be shown.

I even replaced the flash.php and templates with the ones locally and still nothing shows.

I placed the games under forum folder instead of games folder, edited the 2 instances, and still not works. I have read and compared the origianl file I downloaded from this thread. even tried using $bburl in lower and caps.

Erwin · #**396** 12-17-2002, 08:25 PM

Read the instructions in the text file, or in the first post carefully.

theoneandonly · #**398** 12-17-2002, 08:30 PM

Erwin · #**400** 12-17-2002, 08:59 PM

Don't use absolute paths.

Use your sites URL.

What is your site's address? The one in your profile is offline.

theoneandonly · #**401** 12-17-2002, 09:39 PM

i dont have a site i only got a forum, but if thats what u mean that url is http://ensim.ionhosting.com/~admin71/forum

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
