“Could this method be used to make a serverless multiplayer game?”

That is actually what I was planning on doing.

Hi Emanuele,

I am a bit confused about the whole local connection thing. If two users are connecting to the same file, would they be able to see the same results? If one user scores 200, would another user be able to withdraw this score from the flash file, or would it only be stored on the user’s computer until they hit refresh?

I understand using flash to save the scores to MySQL, but I am trying to create a game which might be too CPU intensive for the server it is on. Is there a way to send and withdraw data in realtime that would not be a huge load on the server? Like, less than 20% CPU usage?

My game is going to run at 20 fps. I will be using MySQL to store user data, but I want the live actions to be stored in any other way possible that will utilize very little CPU.

Sorry if this is poorly worded.

Hi everybody. is Tsearch some sort of hacker software? Who really cares! if somebody wants to use Tsearch then you have a darn popular game!
anyway I suggest you make a clear button which can only be used if you put in a password. so it would be…

on(press){
if(password==”yourpassword”
best_score = 0;
}

Easy!

Hmm, I dont get it, why do you need to send variables to another swf, and then send your scores to DB again ?
