High Score table

[d2312564]

Hi,

I created a high score table using the Flash MX 2004 data grid component. When a function in my script it called, it used the LoadVars function to get data from a PHP script. The data from the PHP script populates the data grid fine. Then there is a refresh button. This is where the problem is. In Mozilla Firefox, the refresh button works fine. In Internet Explorer, when the refresh button is clicked, the high score list does not update with the most recent high scores. Also, even if you refresh the entire page, you still do not see the updated high scores. The only way to see the updated high scores is to close the Internet Explorer window, and open the game in a new window. Is this happening because IE is caching it? Is there a way to tell IE not to cache it within the flash document?

Thanks for your help,
~David

You'd need to send the Cache-control header somehow. And it needs to reach the user before any html output or anything. With PHP you could do it. Either with Cache-control: no-cache or Pragma: no-cache.

Hi,

Would that go on the script that sends the high scores to flash, or the page where it is embeded? If it goes on the embeding page, I don't think I'll be able to use it because not everyone may have the cache control on their site. Would it refresh maybe if I destroyed the LoadVars object somehow? It seems like the box is changing, it's just not getting the new data.

Thanks for the help,

Hi,

Ok. I found the solution. At the end of the url you are getting the variables from put this: cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime(); And that stops it from caching the loadvars.

Just a quick note: if you're intending to upload your game to NG, Flash's sandbox security will prevent it from working unless you do two things:

1) Add this line on a frame before you loadVars
System.security.allowDomain("http://yourDBdomainname.net");

2) Open notepad, and paste this in:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- http://www.yourDBdomainname.net/crossdomain.xml -->
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.ungrounded.net" />
<allow-access-from domain="*.newgrounds.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Save it as 'crossdomain.xml' (MUST be name that), and upload it to the root of your database/php domain
