    Post Tutorial - VB + Flash games!

    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:

    http://www.funny-base.com/games10/turretdefense.swf


    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:

    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:

    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.

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

    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).

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

    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).

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

    If you need any help with this tutorial/Sothink's SWF Decompiler/Flash games then please feel free to PM me or post in this Thread!

    Thanks to TheComputerMaster and Tcm9669 for the ScreenShot programs.

    Thanks to you for reading this tutorial!

    Just a question as this is a very good tutorial, let's say that I have another swf game how can I know the variable name, so that when I press the command button the swf game variable changes to that in the text box? In short, how can I know variables like _root.available_turrets or _root.power??

    Thanks.

    Well you need Sothink's SWF decomiler which you can search on google. Then you go to Action>Main to look at the variables.
