ActionScript 3 JEOPARDY Flash游戏

Question

I would like to make an AS3 JEOPARDY like flash game, but I can't figure out how to feed the published swf with an external sheet containing questions - xml or txt or something similar... Could somebody help me with some useful ideas please? Or some of you pros - if you feel like it - you could even elaborate and provide a more detailed description :) thank you all in advance

Answer 1

Use URLRequest to load external data into your swf.

And don't use XML, better take JSON format: faster to load, easier to read by your program

(with XML you often have to read and then transform data, with JSON you just load and are done).

Also, I've just remembered that the ActionScript: The Definitive Guide book comes with a Jeopardy flash game example.

Answer 2

One possibility is to use a web service that you host, as opposed to an XML document that's actually out on the Internet. At least when you're using MXML, web services tend to be pretty easy to use in AS3. Using a web service, instead of an XML page or text page or something, would make it a little less trivial for people to cheat (especially if the web method requires that a password be supplied as an argument).

Answer 3

external meaning? You have to access a saved questions and answers to the games? If that's the case then xml is great for it. You can visit http://www.flashgameu.com/ it contains that tutorial and a sample for a question with timers. And look for the book source files.
