Hi,
Our site ( ) has a flash macromedia game on it in which you can win £100, but it has come to our attention that people are achieving near impossible scores, I say that because we worked it out and the scores are higher than the max allowable. I have mentioned this to the developers of the game and they seem to think it is impossible. I seem to think they are wrong.

1) Is it possible to send your own scores?
2) If so how is it done to prove to the designers of the game that people are cheating at it.

Thanks

[tt]I just played it and scores 64,000 I think the problem is the way score is kept. It's not calcutating what you think it should.

I got the movie apart and found out it was using XML ()sendAndLoad () to send the scores so you could easily make up your own and send Regards

Cheers for all the help Big Dave, if you dont want to answer any more questions thats fine, just ignore them,

1)How is a FLA created?
2)What is the code that goes in to send the score?
3)How is the file sent to the server?

Thanks. Once again

I havn't tested it bu the code is roughly this :

var gameID = 123;
var userID = 2380;
var userScore = 999999;
var userName = "christine johnson";
var userEmail = "christine_johnson@bar.com";
var baseURL = "var loadScoreURL = baseURL+"LoadHighScore.asp?radom="+random("100000");
var scoreURL = baseURL+"SaveHighScore.asp?radom="+random("100000");

function updateScore () {
xmlToSend = &quot;<UpdateScore gameID=\&quot;1&quot;+gameID+&quot;\&quot;><user ID=\&quot;&quot;+userID+&quot;\&quot;><name>&quot;+userName+&quot;</name><email>&quot;+userEmail+&quot;</email><score>&quot;+userScore+&quot;</score></user></UpdateScore>&quot;;
trace (xmlToSend);
sendOb = new &quot;XML&quot;(xmlToSend);
scoreOb = new &quot;XML&quot;();
scoreOb.ignoreWhite = &quot;true&quot;;
scoreOb.load(loadScoreURL);
sendOb.sendAndLoad(scoreURL, scoreOb);
}
updateScore();

other flash gurus might be able to clarify Regards
