[Kongregate API] High Scores page 8 (locked)

now that answers my question, so you can work in Flash Player 6 but it is much better in flash player 7. thanks #.#

by the way i am having troubles getting the kongregate API running on my game(all my other games work with kong API).
its only this one game. The API for all my other games seems to work fine.
problem: when i submit my game, go though the process of uploading, my game hasent got an achivements tab.no API
Any Help Please! thanks in advance.

Ok, bit of a noob question here, but im having trouble

From what i gather, the first line of the API can be placed anywhere in the program, and early is best, right?

Then the second line gets put in the same function as when the hero character dies, and “submit(1000)” would just be changed to “submit(points)” with points being the players score, correct?

So…where does that final chunk of coding go, and what parts do i sub in my own variables and such? O.o

Again, flash noob here, so if i got the first 2 parts wrong, please tell me :P And if anyone can help me with the 3rd, it would be greatly appreciated :D

You don’t need to use that third example of code unless you want to display the highscore list directly in your own game.

Ahh, thanks Jabor. Just to be clear, if i dont display it in my game, itll still be displayed on the site?

Is there a way to check if you are connected or not ? the submit functions have a return value we can check for success ?
I’m not sure why it is not working in my last game ….
Thanks

Yep Moneybags, the highscores will still be shown in the chat bar.

@flashmadruga: What code do you have at the moment?

I want tohave a API high score for Credits found, is it right to put this action in to the action to credit frame:

_root.kongregateCredits.submit(1); // The user found the credits screen

And put: _root.kongregateServices.connect(); on the first frame?

how do i integrate the scores in as3 if im using seperate as class files

@Vegard: If you do that, you’ll need to use the statistics API with stat type set to “add”. You probably don’t want to use the Highscores API for this.

@djice: Check the AS3 API Integration thread.

Im using actoscript2

actionscript*

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So is there any replacement of the ?debug_level=3, etc. that is available for the new chat interface?

The High Scores API is no longer available for new flash games, which I assume is why this topic is not stickied anymore.

What? I thought it was? Can’t games still send Highscore API?

I’m mistaken. It seems they’re cutting support for the High Scores API, but you can still use it if you want. They’re just not providing instructions or help. However, UG, the High Scores API is separate from the regular stats API. You could just use the High Scores API if you just wanted a leaderboard but didn’t want to submit any stats.

“- We’re cutting support to the “High Scores” API and have removed links to those tutorials. We still use the Statistics API that most people have been using, and we still support the API for both AS2 and AS3. I believe old games will continue working with the High Scores, but we will no longer provide support for those APIs. NOTE: This only affects developers using APIs – gamers will not see any difference. Also, we’re not removing APIs, we’re just no longer offering help or instructions for one of them so we can encourage developers to use the other one. Sorry for any confusion."

Ahhh…now </thread>
