Custom made highscore in flash?

[Outcast]

I was following Jeffs guide for making a custom highscore with the Get object and a database. It works very well, but it seems to be problem with flash games that you upload to different gaming portals. There seems to be some kind of "lock" that prevents the data from being recieved. Is there any way around this or do you have to use external api:s for highscores like mochi?

​You need to upload a crossdomain.xml file to the root of your server.

You can make that file yourself. The file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>

If you want only selected sites to have access, you will need to change the * with the selected domains. Google it for more infomation

Oh, I need to try that! should I name the file crossdomain.xml? Also the root, is that the same place where i have the php files for the highscores?

Usually just required where the actual SWF file is located, so same folder as the SWF.

That is not possible though if a game goes wiral and end up on thousands of different gaming portals.

It has nothing to do with where the swf file is, since that can be on a different server entirely.
I have the xml file in the wwwroot folder of my server, which is also where the file that the GET object communicates with is located.

I have tried to get it to work but so far it does not :/ If i upload the swf to my own website it works and the scores are loaded in the game. But if I try another site like on FGL.com the scores are never recieved. I made this file and have put it pretty much everywhere in my homesite folders to be sure: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...rossdomain.xml
