-protecting your games-

That Loader + ByteArray trick is something Electrotank has been playing with for a while. I actually plan on integrating it into ES4 and our security model. This will let you tie files to user-types to let them download the files over a secured connection.

anyone?
www.neuroid.co.uk
then theres a link to a racing game down the bottom in 'samples' called 'overdrive'

Well here's the thing... if no one's seen it, they won't steal it. How much traffic does your page get?

PS: Really like it! (except for the terribly dithered car graphic in the opening screen).

Hope this helps out everyone.

[CODE

hyperText = _url.substr(0, _url.indexOf(":"));
if (hyperText == "http") {
slash = _url.indexOf("//");
webSite = _url.substr(slash+2, _url.indexOf("/", slash+2)-slash-2);
webSite = webSite.toLowerCase();
if (webSite.indexOf("www.website.com") != -1) {
webSite = webSite.substr(webSite.indexOf("www.website.com")+ 4, webSite.length);
}
if (webSite.indexOf("www.website.com") != -1) {
//load the game
} else {
stop();
myMessage = "Copyright Infringement! This movie has be disabled. "+"The following web address has been logged and the authorities will be notified: \n\n "+_url;
}
}

[/CODE]

Anywhere before your game actually starts. First frame is good option.

This doesnt work :(

when you say - Note: You only need to put in the domain, not the exact URL.

i dont hve to put sub domain right in my code?

for example..

If i take my game swf and host it on another website.. say www.xyz.com but in my Action Script I put the url as www.abc.com then this game shouldnt work on www.xyz.com correct?

Am i doing something wrong?

Sorry my bad

I didnt out the dynamic text box and my first frame has a button to play the game.. i shld put this script on an empty frame with just the textbox. It works :)

ok This doesnt work.. i placed it on xyz.com it showed the notification, but having placed it on abc.com it still shows the notification..

all I did in the script was change www.website.com to www.abc.com

abc (being an example of course)

I placed a gotoAndStop(3); on that line and it doesnt go to that frame when its on my server. It just stops at 1.
