highscores:how to..

[floydfloyd]

hi all, new to forum-nice to meet you all 1stly. :) (2ndly tried posting a min ago an got booted offline so dont think it went-if doubled ss)

I have been trying to add the highscore list to a game. there was a similar topic to this, an i reaed up on the posted tutorial provided, but no luck. so here goes...
the directions are :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The version included with this .zip file is the compiled Flash format of the game, a .swf file. You can use this game freely on your website - all I ask in return is that you include a reciprocal link from your website to Neave's Webgames.

To place the game on your website, you can simply "cut and paste" the following HTML code into your webpage:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" id="neavegame" name="neavegame" width="75%" height="75%">
<param name="movie" value="GAMENAME.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false">
<embed name="neavegame" src="GAMENAME.swf" width="75%" height="75%" quality="high" menu="false" swliveconnect="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>
<noembed>You need the <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank">Flash 5</a> plugin to play this game.</noembed>
</object><br><a href="http://www.neave.com/webgames/">Made by Neave's Webgames</a>


Once you've done that, change both GAMENAME to the name of the game included with this .zip file - e.g. change "GAMENAME.swf" to "pong.swf" - and make sure it's all in lowercase too. Be sure to upload the .swf file to the same directory as the HTML code in BINARY format, not ASCII.

( included in the source download is the highscore files.)
...What i have done..
i uploaded the entire swf zip(an extracted)
i uploaded the entire source zip(extracted as well)
It gave me a DIR. FOLDER that includes all the extracted source files.
I uploaded the pacman.Swf to the Dir folder.
~~~
now when i paste the HTML. (as shown above) change the "gamename" to pacman.swf an all, then upload the Swf file onto my page..I get the game shown fine an running in flash, but no highscore list :confused:

i have been at this almost a month if you can believe it, an i am all out of ideas, ive tried every which way. Could one of you fine peeps help me out?
thanks, colleen

And where does PHP come in to all of this?

Well when i did a search on the net for the "cannot access highscore" i came to this forum ,under psp, with a topic similar to mine. The author was also installing a neave game on her server an couldnt get the highscore to work.
so i figured i was under the correct topic, sorry about that.
Well thank you all the same , ill keep working on it.

I'm not saying PHP could not have a place in the equation, but nothing in your post made reference to any PHP code or how you wanted to use PHP, thus my question.
