Topic: Programming / Multiple Key Press

Ahhh! That’s brilliant, now I at least know what’s going wrong.
I’m assuming there is no way around this… except for hoping that most of the public’s keyboards work better than mine?

Topic: Programming / Multiple Key Press

I am currently using the following FOR statement to detect key presses
if(Key.isDown(keyCodeHere)){
doWhatYouWantThisKeyToDo();
}
It works just fine for one or two keys, but it seems like some key combos eclipse other keys!
For instance:
If i hold the up key, my swf file recognizes the up key is down. If instead, I hold the left key AND the right key at the same time, my swf file can detect that both keys are down. But if i then hold down the UP key ALSO, it doesn’t detect the up key.

Topic: Programming / return Date

Thanks,
If you find anything it would be unbelievably helpful. UTC time will make things easier… but cheating is my main concern.

Topic: Programming / return Date

The AS Date class is nice and all… but I need some way to determine a standardized date for all users. The Date class derives the time from the computer the swf file is running on, so if I manually set my computer’s clock to 1:00p.m and you set yours to 3:00p.m. we will both get unique times, even if we are playing at the same time. The only solution I can think of is to request a Date object from the Kong server, which will give the same date to every user.

Is there a way to request a standardized date/time from the Kongregate server?

Topic: Programming / [Kongregate API] High Scores

Because I don’t know how to access the score data, what should I use?

Topic: Programming / [Kongregate API] High Scores

In the following code I attempted to store an array of the user scores from Kongregate into an array ‘userscores,’ but it doesn’t appear to be working properly. How do I change my code such that ‘userscores’ will contain the correct information?

//Connect to Kong server and submit initial score
_root.kongregateServices.connect();
_root.kongregateScores.submit(1000);
//Function called on completed load: returns array of userscores
var scoresCallback:Function = function (result:Object) {
userscores = new Array(result.list.length);
for (i=0; i<result>
userscores[i] = result.list[i].username;
}
return userscores;
};
//Request data from Kong server
_root.kongregateScores.requestList(scoresCallback, this);
//Set ‘userscores’ to the object pointed to by this. Hopefully the return value from
//scoresCallback
userscores = this;
