Highscore chart!

[bounceboy]

I want to make a highscore chart without using PHP or MYSQL but if somebody knows how to do this with xml PLEASE tell me!
i just want to make a top 10 or even just top 3 chart so don't tell me how to add every single score!
AND NOT MOCHIADS PLEASE!

One way to do a highscore, is with arrays and the flash local object.

It is pretty easy to dump and read the local object. You might want to start here. The only draw back is the scores are local to the users machine.

that's easy to make! i want an online one!!!

Flash needs to communicate with an online script (asp,php,cgi) to write data to xml or txt files

[bounceboy]

please?

hey, stop doing your advertising here!

anyway it turns out I can use PHP.

so modified_dog, i ended up making a highscore using the help of you.

thanks man, you rule!

but I do not want it to be inside a data feild, i want 10 different variables written from php to the txt file to make the top ten highscores.

anyways i can easily load all of these variables with flash to get the best highscores, but its the writing to txt file a variable from flash that i get a bit confused about.
