    Dynamic adverts within games

    I am planning on distributing a viral game to promote a website and would like to add my own mochiad style adverts when the game loads. The idea is to let anyone take the game and host it on their website but I still have control over the loading screen and possibly in-game adverts.

    Anyone give me any advice how to achieve this?

    You can just load a movieclip in from your server, and then put whatever you want in it, eg

    http://www.gamejacket.com/gamejacket.asp?gjid=00367

    Click on Newsfeed. That's just a swf on our server that gets loaded in. The only thing to check is the security / crossdomain.xml docs and make sure you've got that set up on your server.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Yeah I had wondered about the cross domain issue and whether games hosted on other servers (that I do not have details of) would be able to load content in from my server. I think I need to read up on the cross domain documentation.

    Cheers
