Hi,

I have a simple flash based quiz game with simple score var and percentage var. I am wanting to a high score function to it as motivation to my kids by creating healthy competition with high scores. This is not a web based game. I found many PHP high score tutorials but wont work for me.

Please assist or if you could put me onto a good tutorial.

Thanks

you want individuals to play against only their personal high scores or you want to track all player's high scores.

the scores have to be stored somewhere and they can't be stored in flash. so, you'll need to create an air app that will contact a server and use server-side coding.

Thanks is it not possible to create a data notepad doc similar to the PHP that can be created and stored on the hard drive and then accessed and changed later.

on whose harddrive? that's the issue.

if i play your game on my computer and store my score on my harddrive, you're not going to have access to it or i have a significant security issue.

Sorry let me explain the whole procedure. I have created the SWF and converted it to a EXE. I then used a protection program making it a 30 day trial if not activated with a serial number. I than packed it with a installer prog to extract the file to the installers program files folder with a shortcut to the desktop for execution of the quiz. When it installs it has the terms and conditions which you as the installer will have to agree to before installation can continue. With this I want to know if a notepad file can be created for editing via flash to be extracted in the specific installation directory. It started with a program I have designed for my children having to study for there learners and has developed from there.
