did u put 'import fl.video.VideoEvent' before you defined playAgain? cause that should work...

you need to use flashvars to pass the movie variables... http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16417.html in AS2 the variables are accessible in the root scope. in AS3 you need to use the "root.loaderInfo.parameters.myVariableName"

For people who are new to Happyland, just recently uploaded a Happyland gameplay video on youtube, so you can see some of the features without making an account and working through the game

A new game has been added to Happyland, a fishing game...to play it you have to build Fisherman Andrew's fishing hut. Happy fishing kids

We've just built a Parents Info Page for Happyland, along with a Latest News Page with an RSS feed for whenever we add new buildings/games/locations/characters to the game Which should be very soon, I'm building a fishing game, plus Ive got a 'Tractor Driving+Feeding Animals' game in the works too...

Well, there are plans to add a new location, with 2 new buildings/npcs, plus a new building at the farm. Also 5 new games will be added to existing buildings...so yes, HappyLand will be growing constantly

Thanks for the suggestion LemonInflux - we sorta thought, for kids, it was better to have the instructions automatic, they might not click the help button, at least at the start... Im glad your 7 year old cousin loves playing HappyLand

Hmmm odd, if js is on but you dont have Flash it should say - get flash, heres the link... Ill look into that

aximbigfan - ye i understand, would be worth doing at some point. corbin - glad you liked our aussie accents never thought that'd be a selling point tho, heh, maybe i shoulda put that in the post title HappyLand! Kids Game! With Amazing Aussie Accents and Acapellas! Albatross Apes are all Angered and Aggravated after Abolishing an Alligators Ana... ummm ok ill stop now

Hi, Im using PHP 4.4 in a CMS. I have an ob_start() and a function function endBuffer(){ $buffer = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $buffer = displayBuffer($buffer); echo $buffer; } Initially I was just doing ob_start('displayBuffer'); but i learnt i cant use output buffers in the ob_start callback (displayBuffer). So, I put everything in endBuffer and tried to call that using register_shutdown_function(endBuffer) but it looks like, on shutdown, the buffer is already flushed? How can I set this up so that the endBuffer function gets called at the end of the script, but before it automatically gets flushed?

i'll bet Sorry, Its reasonably large (around 2MB), your assumption was correct, the boat is supposed to get to the island on load complete, but dialup probably is too slow. the reason it gets there is i have it just very gradually going right, even if nothing is loading fast enough, just to ensure there is a bit of movement

We (Neoterik) recently completed an online kids game, build in Flash, for Lutheran Media Australia. Its for kids ages 5-7, and the goal was to create a fun environment for children to play in, but also to have characters deliver bible messages... Click to Visit HappyLand I built the entire game engine, the PHP/MySQL backend, did a lot of the audio, designed most of the graphics, and more. From our company, only 2 of us were working on the game. Some of the things I'm proud of is the way locations are built, with dynamic scrolling/resizing, also its easy to add new buildings and NPC's, and the character customisation game was pretty interesting to program too... This was built in AS2 using OOP... The first minute or so a character 'Teech' does a big tutorial spiel, sit through it if you can so you can start playing the game...Remember, this is for kids, so it may be annoying/cheesy to older people We've done a fair bit of testing with classes of kids and they enjoy it There's loud talking characters so you may want to turn your speakers down. Oh and I'm not personally religious, but this is mildy bilbe-ish so be warned

Well Im pretty sure it's sessions - I removed session handling from my php and it seems to be fine. Problem is I need it How can I get sessions to work in a php file that may be called several times, simultaneously, from the same client?

Hmmm someone mentioned it could be to do with PHP SESSIONS... This is what im doing - using sessions for lots of php created pages using the same parent php page... Any ideas how to get around this? I need the session open on each one so i can write to it throughout the script execution, so what i was doing was session_start(); function sessionCloseFunc(){ session_write_close(); } register_shutdown_function(sessionCloseFunc); Is there a way to have 'shared' sessions for a parent page? or something like that???

its not that i dont want files in the xml folder to be rewritten - in fact i do. what im asking is - is theres something wrong with the mod_rewrite rules i posted, or should they work ok. if they are ok, what could be causing this massive lag in request response despite the fact in the response the timer says the php took mere milliseconds to generate?

I seem to have ruled out mod_rewrite loop issues... so what else could it be???

Are you sure? And if not, what else do you think it could be?

Its been suggested this could be to do with mod_rewrite. The rule im using is RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC] RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?section=$1&page=$2 [NC] RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?section=$1&section2=$2&page=$3 [NC] RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?section=$1&section2=$2&section3=$3&page=$4 [NC] RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php My other thought is - could it be some unclosed connection to a database or some unclosed link to a dir/file - something like that??? Can anyone offer any tips of common things to ensure are done to properly terminate a script im using mysql connections, reading contents of files, writing files, using output buffering, and using sessions. im also using register_shutdown_function to do things like close sessions and close output buffers...

I'm using PHP+MySQL to build a CMS. Its going pretty well. I have one problem... The CMS uses mod_rewrite to change www.site.com/section/page into GET vars. Sometimes, I have a folder like www.site.com/xml - this contains an index.php, and then different pages get included depending on the URL, eg www.site.com/xml/newsfeed includes the newsfeed.php file in the xml folder. This is fine. But I have a flash file that simultaneously requests 4 files from the xml folder, which basically calls index.php 4 times with different included pages, all using the CMS to generate the content. I seem to get really bad performance sometimes. Sometimes it will load straight away, but then it seems if i reload the page it will take 30+ seconds sometimes. Its weird, in firebug the net monitoring shows the requests, it usually loads a couple of the xml/filename files, but i dont see the other 2 even tho the first couple are done... Also, i put some speed tester code in the php's and they all say they take something like 0.02 seconds to generate...it just seems to take ages to get back to the browser or something. Each call to xml/file opens the index.php in /xml, which then looks in the cache folder to see if xml/file has been cached yet, if so it echos its contents, else it connects to the database, generates the content, creates the cached file, then echos it out Any ideas why the bottlenecks are occuring?
