    Question Can you please help me? (Bug in a Flash game)

    Hello. I'm an English teacher. I like using this Jeopardy game in my lessons. Students learn vocabulary effectively with this game. The game is not prepared by me.

    You may know the Jeopardy game. There are questions. Within the specified time, students should answer the question. The bug is about the end of the game. The points gained or lost at the last question is not added to the groups' total points. I want to fix this bug, but I have no knowledge in Flash or ActionScript.

    Can anybody help me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    As the game (596kb) exceeds forum attachment limit(300kb), it is uploaded to Yandex Disk. (https://yadi.sk/d/DqsFzsbmznhfc)

    This is from days of old. Animate 7 opens the file but no actionscript. The text file tells me that either this is old school AS2(or even 1). If you still need a jeopardy game I will build you one. I have built dozens. You will need to use xml however.

    Hi,

    It is actually AS3 and he is using URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES

    But it would help if the code was supplied too.

    If it is AS3 using URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES then an idiot coded it. If you are certain it is AS3 then you are an idiot too because you got no idea what version it is. I was giving the programmer the benefit of the doubt. You however, are trying to look smart and your not.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the strong words Rynoe, very helpful.

    The fla when opened tells you that it is an AS3 and looking for its as file to get its code from.

    Also if you put the swf into any decompiler you will see the AS3 code glaring at you.

    The text file can of course be used with any version of AS, although this particular one is being used with AS3.

    Nothing smart about it sir, just pointing out a fact.

    Whats wrong with using AS3 to make jeopardy type game?

    Coder did it great as he used variables. It gives us the chance to customize the questions (btw, we use vocabulary as questions). I have created an excel file to randomize words, then copy the data in the excel file & paste in the settings.txt file. I can prepare many different question sets using this variables in a very short time. (under 60 sec.) So, the coder is not idiot.

    Unless your students are 5 year olds, this is self-contradictory statement

    Hey murat123, it looks like the FLA you have was created using a tool called JPEXS (a Flash decompiler) and is not the original source. I'm not sure how good the ouput from JPEXS is (I've never used it), but you're probably going to have a difficult time fixing this bug if you're working from just the reconstructed source.
    When your swf2exe tool just HAS to work
    there's only one choice... SWF Studio
