Hello, for some reason I keep getting the error message “class path cannot be found” when I set the class Target for the movieclip targetMC. I have tripled checked, everything is spelled correctly

I did get the game to score, thank you for the great game engine, it was really a lot of fun and good learning adventure expanding this into a 4 level scoring game, I used this code to get it to post a score:
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.*
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;

SubmitBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);

function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent):void{

var myVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
myVariables.gname = “The Games Name”;
myVariables.gscore = score var.text;
trace(myVariables);
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(”index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore”);
myURLRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
myURLRequest.data = myVariables;

navigateToURL(myURLRequest, ‘_self’);

}

Hi Mike

Thanks for your comment.

getURL is deprectiated in AS3 so you need to use an alternative method. There’s a good discussion on how to approach this at Script Playground : getURL in Actionscript 3

Hope that helps!

Hello

Great tutorial and game engine, thank you for helping beginners in action scripting as3. I have used the engine and made it into a small game with 4 scoring levels at the temporary link submitted. I have one question, I make other games and quizzes in as2 and use this code for the Submit Score button:

on (release)
{
var gname = “SWF FILE NAME”;
var gscore = _root.score;
getURL(”index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore”, “_self”, “POST”);
}

but I get errors in as3, I have tried different codes from the web that are used for as3 but they do not work. What code would you suggest or direct me to, that would submit that code.

Thank You Mike
