INTRO

Well in this tutorial we'll be making a Flash game player with some "hacks".

----------------------------------------------------------------

GUI (LAYOUT):

Here is my GUI:

----------------------------------------------------------------

What you need:

Here is what items/buttons you need:

3 Command Buttons with:

#1 Command Button:
Name: cmdCash
Caption: Get Cash

#2 Command Button:
Name: cmdPower
Caption: Get Power

#3 Command Button:
Name: cmdTurrets
Caption: Get Turrets

3 Text Boxes with:

#1 Text Box:
Name: txtCash
Caption (None)

#2 Text Box:
Name: txtPower
Caption: (None)

#3 Text Box:
Name: txtTurrets
Caption: (None)

And the last thing you need to add is a ShockwaveFlash item by:
Go to components or just press CTRL+T. Then scroll down to ShockWave Flash and tick it. A new item should appear on your toolbox, it looks like a piece of paper.

Now click it and make a big box because this is what you'll be viewing/playing the flash game with.

Give it the:
Name: Movie

Now to get the flash game playing.....

First go to a flash game site (like miniclips or something) and load up a game. Wait until it's 100% fully loaded and then go into your "Temporary Internet Files" folder and find the game name with the extension ".swf". Right-Click it and then copy the location, in this case mine's:

And then go back to VB and click on the Movie box (The thing we just made) and then do this:

And you're done! YAY!

----------------------------------------------------------------

CODE:

Here is the code:

Quote

Private Sub cmdCash_Click()
Call Movie.SetVariable("_root.money", txtCash.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdPower_Click()
Call Movie.SetVariable("_root.power", txtPower.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdTurrets_Click()
Call Movie.SetVariable("_root.available_turrets", txtTurrets.Text)
End Sub

----------------------------------------------------------------
CODE EXPLANATIONS:

Quote

Private Sub cmdCash_Click()
Call Movie.SetVariable("_root.money", txtCash.Text)
End Sub

This just means every time you click the "cmdCash" button, it changes the variable (code) number to the number specified in the txtCash Text Box.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Quote

Private Sub cmdPower_Click()
Call Movie.SetVariable("_root.power", txtPower.Text)
End Sub

This does exactly what the first one does BUT it changes a different code (_root.power).

----------------------------------------------------------------

Quote

Private Sub cmdTurrets_Click()
Call Movie.SetVariable("_root.available_turrets", txtTurrets.Text)
End Sub

Also does the same as the two other codes! Again, it just changes a different code (_root.available_turrets).
