2 player flash game?

Hello everyone, I'm somewhat new to flash and was wondering if it is possible to make a game where two individual computers play the same game against each other. If so, is there any information out there explaining the steps? I have read a lot of books on making flash games but they haven’t helped me out that much. Also, does anyone know if lynda.com is worth paying for a subscription? Could anybody help me out?
Thanks a lot

the two swfs can't directly communicate with each other. each can communicate with a server, for example, and the server could communicate with both so a server can act as a bridge between the two swfs

2 player web-based Flash game problem

I have a two player web-based Flash game. The Flash calls a
JavaScript function on the webpage to get and store the user's IP.
Then an XML file with user's game data is loaded and parsed. The IP
address is used to identify which player is player 1 and which is
player 2 according to the XML file. There is a Java applet to send
and receive messages between the players.
The first player loads everything just fine. All the first
player's messages regarding the progress in loading different parts
of the code sent by the game for debugging are displayed in the
Java applet's text box, but none of the second player's messages
sent by the game for debugging are displayed.
The problem is that the second player's ActionScript code
appears not to be executing except that I do get a message in the
game that the XML file attempted to load but was not successful.
The IP address call is not made and no messages can be sent to the
other player. The second player's Java applet displays only the
messages for debugging that came from the first player's game and
any chat messages sent by the first player.
This problem always happens to the second player, never to
the first player. Both player's are always using IE6 or IE7.
Does anyone have some idea(s) what could cause only the
second player's ActionScript code not to execute and/or not to load
an XML file correctly?
This is just a general question, so any general answers would
be appreciated. Code specific answers are hopefully not required.
Thank You in advance.

Hi,
I am not very familiar with the multiplayer Game development. For multiplayer games, you'll need to set up a matchmaking server and have the clients connect to it. It can then pair them off and facilitate communications. If the clients have publicly available
network addresses then it can introduce them and they can talk directly to each other.There isn't anything built in for this so you'll need to either build your own or find a third party implementation. If you are using Unity3d then check out
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/net-MasterServer.html
Also, you can use Xbox services, and I find an article below:

MAC / PC flash game issues through standalone flash player

I had some flash games built for new site. They were built on a PC, and play perfectly through the latest version of flash player, but jump and loop continuously through flash player on mac. Cannot figure out the reason why this is happening. Anyone come across this before?

we have loaded shockwave Flash NP-PPC plugIn version 7.0R69
into the plug ins folder of Internet Explorer 5
We are still having the same problem which is that we cannot
view a web page which contains a flash movie with some video
embedded.
We see the rest of the animation and hear the sound on the
movie, but can't see the movie.
When I published the Flash movie I set it to play with Flash
Player 6 and up.
The flash movie (on the web page) plays fine on our other OSX
Macs and PC's.
thanks

RAM usage by Adobe Flash Player spikes when playing online flash games with 3D graphics

Hi. I have recently noticed a spike in RAM usage by my flash player plug-in whenever I play online flash games that use a 3D graphics engine (for example, Farmville 2 and Chefville by Zynga). Apart from the numerous times I receive an error message that the plug-in has failed, my RAM usage goes above 70% from the regular 40% with the plug-in consuming more than 1Gb. I have experienced the problem with the updated version of Adobe Flash Player on the newest releases of Firefox, Chrome and RockMelt. This spike in usage usually leads to a crash of my GPU (ATI Mobility Rabeon 4650 - 2Gb) My specs are as follows:
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor - Core i5
Speed - 2.27 GHz
RAM - 4.00Gb (3.86 Gb usable)
HDD - 500 Gb (465 Gb usable)
I should also note that the required specifications for the latest version of Flash Player (11.7.700.202) requires processing speeds of 2.33Ghz. Could that be the issue? I am still to attempt downgrading of my Flash version to see if that could help reduce the RAM usage. Are there any other suggestions out there?

Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
What browser?

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow. It's also not the fastest at anything. Can I do anything to speed stuff up ?????

Have no clue. You provided no details and your system profile is blank.
Which os are you using?
How are you connected to the internet?
Have you contacted your isp to make sure the slowness is not coming from their end?
Max out your ram.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
You you using the latest version of Adobe Flash?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

Mouse & trackpad is not working properly in flash games

I thought the problem was with my mouse. But even my trackpad behaves weird.
When I try to click this game (http://jayisgames.com/games/red-remover-player-pack-2/) or any other games before, single clicking any clickable spots in the flash game works. But in that game, I could single click on "Play Game," "Ok." "the red face," "Play" & box 1. But from that on, I must double click to make anything work. It's not that game that requires double clicks. I've been playing it for a long time, all only single clicks. From there on, I single click on a red box, nothing happens. Then I click on another spot, that previous click happens.
Not just on that flash game, I've tried many others ones, all gave me this click delaying problem.
When I try to click on spot A, nothing happen. Then I click on spot B, the click on spot A happens. So I must double click on everything to work.
I realize I couldn't single click on anything to work on any flash websites (sample:http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html). Clicking once just highlights the link, must click again to make it work.
Please try out that game to see what I'm talking about. I'm not promoting anything here. I got a serious mouse problem.
Thanks.

How can i record a name a score in a flash game and write down in a soreboard?

Hi. I wrote down the summary of my project so that you can
understand and answer me more easily:
I have to build an application (a little flash game) in which
I record the number of clicks. I want the player to choose a nick
at the beginning and when he finishes one or all the four choices
of target, i want the application to write his nick and final score
in a database for displaying in a scoreboard (hall of fame). All
the new entries should be sorted according to the score. If the
same nick appears again, it's final score will be modified in the
scoreboard only if is higher then the previous.
I was thinking of creating a variable for the name that is
chosen at the beginning and a variable for the score that is
recorded. When the player finishes the game i want the application
to write his data in the database, and then to display the
scoreboard (let's say top 10 players in the database from the
highest to the lowest score).
I never did this before so i am asking what database shoud i
use? I need a programmer to create one for me? Or can flash
generate the database?
Is the variable the good way or should I aproach the problem
by other means? And if a programmer creates a database in MySql is
that good or he should convert it to XML, or Flash generates the
XML?
Thank you.
Mark this message as the answer.

The bottom line is you cannot write to a file (database or
XML files) directly from flash.
I have done a number of projects where I needed to have
access to an XML source or a database. In these cases I had to
create server side script. I have done them in .NET, PHP ASP.
The only option you have is to use the Flash's Shared Object.
This does not store the data indefinatly and has a limited size
(100K). Let me know if you need further info.
With regards to using a variables depends on how you are
writing your game. If you are creating classes in ActionScript then
all the data can be stored within the class members. For example
you could have a Player Class and store all the player related
information in that class until the game is over. On the other hand
you can just use varibles to keep things simple.

Pick and download the latest Flash Player for your OS.

Youtube and flash games work, but other sites that use flash don't work

Hi-
I'm currently using Firefox 18.0.2 on 2 different computers (Both Win7 64 bit), both with flash 11.6.602.168. Both have roughly the same programs installed and the same browser configuration. However, on one machine, flash works only on some sites. For instance, Youtube works perfectly, as do dedicated flash games. However, sites that use embedded flash applications fail to work. For instance, if I visit www.speedtest.net, where the test options normally appear is completely blank. Similarly, other video players fail. For example, videos in www.cbsnews.com play sound, but where the video should be is just white. I've tried completely uninstalling both firefox as well as flash, and installing previous versions, nothing has worked.

I guess it is a process of elimination, what is different ?
I would first of all check and experiment with Adobe FlashPlayer protected mode setting.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
Also have you any filtering, adblock or security related programs installed which may block video or scripts. With you-tube check is it actually using Flash player,and not trying to use any HTML5 options so check any options and cookies.

How to transfer a saved flash game's progress onto another computer using a flashdrive?

I downloaded a .swf file of a flash a game that I put into an html file and found that it saved data into the sharedobjects folder inside of the macromedia folder but I'm just wondering if theres a way to redirect where the flash game goes to load player progress so that I can just copy the folder into my flashdrive and play it from there. In case anyone asks why I won't just copy the folder's contents into the second computer I'm planning on playing the game on a computer in school.

No, there's no good way to do this. You *could* (if you can run an .exe file off the flash drive) try the Flash Projector, if you can run the SWF as a standalone application.

-My problem?
-Game designer problem?
-Or flash player problem?
thnx

Chris, thanks for the suggestion
I went through this and here’s what happened:
- I do not have Realplayer
- When I went into protected mode (forced to create a new profile) the problem still occurred
However, I wonder if I did something wrong --
Is there a way to verify that Firefox is actually in protected mode? It doesn’t look any different, and even has my home page!
I did learn that the problem is intermittent – some games (maybe smaller ones? Not sure how to tell) load ok
One that works for me: http://miniarcadebox.com/2012/09/small-safes-house-escape-2/
One that doesn’t: http://www.melting-mindz.com/turtle_island_escape.php
