Score board for a game show

Hi all, Ok here goes.
I need to create a score board for a game show at work for staff. The score board must keep score on the left and right parts of the screen. score must start as default on 0. Then every time I press for example the left arrow key the left score must increase by the value of 1 and when I press the right arrow key the left score must decrease by 1.
Same goes for the right score only with differant keys example up and down keys. This sounds very simple and I managed to get it to work when I tested with only 1 score, but failed when adding the second score to the picture.
Please help me out on this as I don't know how to program in flash and I'm not getting any replies from other forums.

That is AS2 code so you should repost your problem in the AS1/2 forum if you continue to have a problem. You should try making the other score work again and show the code you are using that is not working.
Since you have little familiarity with coding, you will do best to not approach coding the way you are. Putting code "on()" objects is not a good practice. You should place all the code in the timeline and assign instance names to objects to enable the timeline code to target the objects.
If you have a button in place merely to support having the code for keyboard interaction processing, then you should do away with that and just have code assigned to deal with the keyboard specifically. Here's some code that might get you started... if you cannot get it working for you, then please repost your problem in the correct forum. The code goes in the timeline. Instead of the traces, you would be changing the score values...
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
Key.addListener(keyListener);
keyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
   if(Key.getCode() == 38) trace("up");
   if(Key.getCode() == 40) trace("down");
   if(Key.getCode() == 37) trace("left");
   if(Key.getCode() == 39) trace("right");

Flash Game High Scores Board

Hello everyone,
I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million dfferent ways to create a high scores board on a flash game. So i decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try. Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game.
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/How_to_c-Nick_Kuh-771/index.php
That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board. When i finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt. After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board i am getting very frustrated. My game is scripted in AS2 and i have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.
Can anyone please help me by sending an easy to follow tutorial that will work with AS2? I would just like any kind of help right now as I feel ALL of my valid ideas have been ehausted. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Okay not a problem.
This is my code on the very first frame of the game that initializes the the highscores.php script
command = "init";
_root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
This is the code that I have on a submit button, next to the input text box where the user enters their name for the scoreboard.
on (release) {
if(name ne ""){
command = "update";
_root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
gotoAndStop ("highScores");
In every place the code says _root. I have also tried this. and neither of them work. I have also tried a million other things. So far the game plays through, goes to the game over screen where it asks for a user name and tells them their score. Then once they press submit the game goes to the highScores screen but the name and score are not there. The high scores screen cosists of 2 dynamic text fields one named "players" and one named "scores". I hope this helps because I spent another 5 or so hours after my initial posts trying more tutorials with still no luck. (the problem i am having is that i am new to flash, however not to PHP)

What SDK for board and card games dev?

Hi,
I'm creating board and card games as a hobby. I used Windows
GDI in the past, but my experience is that my creativity is limited
by the difficulty in manipulating sprites, transparency and
scalable graphics. I don't care about 3D. I do care about
synchronization between audio and video events. I'm currently using
MS Visual Studio 6. Games available on shockwave.com surely use
some sort of SDK to help carry these tasks, but I don't know if
they all use the same or there are many flavors available. In
extra, I like the fact you can easily develop online versions and
play online with others. Can it support Mac? I can't spend a lot of
money and time on new development tools, but maybe there is an
Adobe product that would allow me to do exactly what I have in
mind. Can someone tell me which product would best suit my need and
what should be my expectations.
Thanks,

I tried to look for clovertown processors, and they are still around 250 each plus there are different models....could you give some models of processors that will work for sure on my 1st gen mac?
Regarding the video card:
I tried to use the diamond 1Gb, and on the 8X slot it works basically at half the speed of the x1900 (3dmark 06 gave me 4200 for the x1900 and 2250 for the 4650); so the gain is close to 0
Under macOs does not work at all; and when i tried to swap the 2 cards to boot the pc and use the 16x rail on the 4650, basically Vista decided to not recognize either card, leaving me with 1 monitor off and one on, without being able to recognize the video card.
I wonder why the PCI utility on mac does not allow to set which slot will get the 16X....the only place where the x1900 fits is slot 4, so even if the card would work fine , i would have to swap cards and connectors everytime that i wanna play in bootcamp, and this is not the best choice
Last attempt: tried with a 4870 and looks like the flashing does not always work (read trough 26 pages of a post on another site); so since i don't want to pay 350 for the apple version, i've got a 3rd party 3870 for less than 200 dollars (shame that the 4870 for pc cost the same price), that form the links that you guys gave me, seems the best choice for pro apps and games, compared to the 8800 (and the plus that under bootcamp i can get a second card and use crossfire is a huge plus, especially when the price of this card will go further down!).
Thanks everyone for giving your suggestions, and hope that this post will help other people that, like me, were trying to update their machine to a better video card

Keynote score board with feeds?

Hey everyone,
im working on a project where im going to project a keynote presentation that includes a few things to make a score board. Basicly i want it to have live feed from my webcam, a timer that counts down and 2 small boxes to keep the score for that team.
Now i have finaly managed to get live feed from my camera using quartz composer. Now for the count down i have no idea, but that is the least of my problems. I need to be able to upadate a table with the scors for each team without taking the presentation down. So i was thinking, if i make an rss feed of an exel table, (Whitch i can do no problem) i could rss feed it into the keynot... but i tryed quarts composer and it doesnt work, any ideas on how i can get it to work, or how i can do it another way?
What about the countdown timmer? any ideas for that? (maybe just a video counting down, that may be ok)
But yeah the score is what is realy buzzing me...
Please help
Thanks

MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either. Can someone help me with this? Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over? Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

There are a lot of MacBook Pros with the model # A1286 - which year is your model (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
The only place that I know that you might could score a specific logic board is www.ifixit.com. They may be able to ship to your hotel.

FICO scores used for mortgage - and where to obtain them

So would I just do the FICO Standard Purchase and select Equifax and Experian and that would show me the EQ Beacon 5.0 and Experian V2SM scores that mortgage lenders pull? Just curious as the ones I get through banks listed in my sig are drastically different from the one a lender pulled - they said mine is 740 but wouldn't give me more information or show me the print out.
