[Kongregate API] AS3 Integration page 4 (locked)

Has anyone implemented the .swc in Flex 3?

If so, instructions?

I solved it. If you’re developing in Flex 3, just drop the .swc file into the libs folder of your project. This should be added to the instructions for people to know.

You can check this by going to Project → Properties → Flex Build Path → Library Path tab.

Click on the libs folder. If it’s not there or you haven’t dropped it yet, just click “Add SWC” on the right to find the file and add it.

Follow all the other instructions for implementation.

What is the point in having both stats and scores, cant both be used for badges, also scores bit of the API seems much more capable than stats with the set mode that stats doesn’t have.

Still need some help guys, I want ot know all the difs between the two.

It would be nice if the API had a Disconnect() function.

Asked few months ago.

Something like that was rejected because it’s senseless. The cheater would make a Screenshot and get the badge.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to kongregate, but I like the idea of points, badges and achievements very much. I uploaded two games and I think I integrated the API correctly, but I don’t know how check that. In the comments people keep asking for integration and badges, so I’m confused. Is there a way for me to see wether I’m reporting statistics and highscores correctly? Is there a way to add badges myself?

Thanks!

Add ?debug_level=3 to the end of the URL from your game. (to see if the API works)
And you can’t make badges for your game. Only greg can do that.

Thanks for the tip Vara! It hangs on “Info: Listening for connection…”, so I guess I did something wrong, I just don’t know what.
Here is the code I use, it’s almost exactly the code from the API tutorial. I use FlashDevelop and AS3 and I’m trying to load the API manually:

In my main class:

private var kongregate:*;

private function loadKongregate():void

{

	var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters;

	var api_url:String = paramObj.api_path || “http://www.kongregate.com/flash/API_AS3_Local.swf”;

	var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( api_url );

	var loader:Loader = new Loader();

	loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener ( Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete );

	loader.load ( request );

	this.addChild ( loader );

}
private function loadComplete ( event:Event ):void

{	// Save Kongregate API reference

	kongregate = event.target.content;

	kongregate.services.connect();

}

In the constructor of my main class:

loadKongregate();

And to submit:

kongregate.stats.submit(“score”, score);

kongregate.scores.submit(score);

I really appreciate all your help, thanks!

Hi again everyone,

I finally figured out what’s wrong! It wasn’t the code after all, it was Mochiads encryption that somehow broke the API integration! So if you’re using Mochiads and you want to add the Kongregate API to your game, don’t use version control.
Phew, took me all day, but I’m sure every programmer knows this wonderful feeling when a really frustrating bug-hunt finally pays off. Yeah!!!

(Bughunt… maybe I’ll use this as the title for my next game…)

how to become a modo

Hi do you have a zip format of the docs? thanks

My game breaks when uploading it on kongregate. It doesn’t seem to establish a connection until the end, when it’s supposed to submit the score. The submittion works after the second play, just to break when you try to play it a third.

What to do?

Connect when the game starts instead of at the end.

I’ve been trying to do that, but it just won’t work…

The main method to submit high scores from the statistics class is called “submit”:

That should say ‘from the scores class’ I think.

The playerdata seems to work, except points which alway shows 0. Why? Can you fix it?

Is the a site where i can learn AS3 or AS2?

Google.

Is API available for Flex Builder 3 (Version: 3.0.194161)
I’ve added .swc, but Flex Builder cant uses it

All okay now, I’ve rename swс :)

hey… i tried to upload the component… but now my flash program wont even open…
im not really sure what happened…

I just want to know how/where to get the spftware to make the games

:0 ;) :( or may even this >.< <i hate uUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

hi we just uploaded our first game, and looks like we are about to win some prize money. However we did not do api integration. can we still claim the prize if we implement the api later on? also, how long does it take to integrate the api (assuming you take the sample fla way)?

If you do win a prize in the contests, you have a period of time to implement the API in order to claim it.

It wouldn’t take long to implement the API – a few minutes to import the component and add the function calls, then it’s a matter of testing and ensuring it works as you want it to.

:o I love your game
Im gonna play it again now.

Looking to integrate the API into a couple test games. Is there a sandbox available in which to test some user interaction without actually uploading the application for all to see?

Thanks in advance.

Don’t necessarily have to have any software. You can use notepad or text editor of your choice to write all the code, and then just download and install the free Flex SDK to compile the SWF. With the push of keeping the Flex SDK free, the “software” needed is minimal. Oh, and add to that that Adobe is giving away licenses to anyone currently unemployed for free, and it’s a totally open market.
