[Kongregate API] AS2 Integration page 4 (locked)

I’m not sure if this belongs here, but is root.kongregateusername initialized to anything if the player isn’t logged in at all?

Do the commands work with AS1?

It’s probably AS2. But I am not 100% sure on it.

@facelesscoward: it’s _root.kongregateUsername .

Didn’t check it yet. Go check one of Mrcreds’ games (I remember that he was the 1st person to find and use it) and see what happens.

JudeMaverick: Are you sure? IndieFlashArcade says it’s root.kongregateusername on the second page of this thread.

I have no idea then. I’ve been using _root.kongregateUsername. Go figure.

It’s root.kongregateusername.

Do the commands work with AS1?

Yes, it works with AS1. Our games Mesiria chp1 & 2 were made in Flash MX (6) and the API works perfectly ;)

I’ve found that not all my statistics are being displayed in the chat box. Is there some bug with stats?

Big Fish (the original) displays only HighScore and TimesCompleted, while Big Fish-chipped displays only HighScore and LevelReached.
(These are essentially the same game, but with controls in the latter modified as asked for by numerous people. I didn’t overwrite the former because it is – I believe – superior.)

I’m pretty sure that I set all (both) stats to appear in leaderboards, at least for Big Fish-chipped.

Hi I’m new here, and I wanted to know how you use it with Director? I tried many other sites, but this is the best one that had DCR’s. How do you use it with Director, 8.5 specifically???

Second sentence, first post:

Unfortunately, we do not yet support Shockwave games.

yeah I saw that right before I saw your post sorry about that. It says “not yet” though, so does that mean that someday it might support DCR games? I hope so because I don’t have a flash maker.

Sorry for DoublePost, but… how soon will you be implimenting this into Shockwave? If it’s soon enough, I have some ideas. I think that Badges should be triggered simply be going to a certain Frame. You could have a form you fill out, that says like: Enter the Frame that will be awarded X Badge. The game could jump to that frame when the badge should be awarded, and that would work! ^_ but there would be no way to implement highscores… but atleast you could have badges! Please try to make this work… I can’t afford CS3 and i’m really good at Director. Pleeez?

I’m not privy to that info, you can send an email directly to Kongregate if you like. I know they are currently pretty swamped though, so I would bet they dont have an ETA.

I sent in a feedback form adressing it. Any idea how fast I will get a response? :)

No clue. They are overloaded right now, so sometimes even my emails get missed.

It wasn’t exactly an email, I just clicked the Feedback button at the top of the screen :P

Would there be a better way?

support@kongregate.com

Can’t really say which is necessarily better though.

Nothing’s going to work right now, with all the bugs from the last week.

Hi we are using Flash 3.0 for our game and was wondering if this API works with Flash 3.0 or not???

Assuming you mean ActionScript 3.0 (Flash 9), yes. Please check the Kongregate API sticky.

Is there a way for the game to check what Statistics it has reported in the past? (i.e. for saved games)

Sorry for the noob question, but are achievements defined by the developer or by Kongregate?

Statistics are set up by you. Challenges and badges are set up by Kongregate, based on the statistics you chose to implement. However, you can choose the statistics you want based on any badges you’d like to have in your game, then let Kongregate know. If you don’t set up those statistics, Kongregate cannot create rewards for your game.

Thanks for the fast reply arcane!

Could someone make a list of all the Kongregate functions???

Not sure what you are talking about, the available API functions should already be listed.
