Oh yes, oh yes, I’m still alive and kicking. So I was long asleep taking a rest, having my at home but off work vacation (well I do work at home) and just laying back away from stressful coding goodness. But okay, I still have to update my site, so up the header is a minor revised design for this Christmas, happy holidays!!

Tomato Season has arrived – its time to throw those tomatoes and stomp on them. Don’t worry there needs to be no cost to do so, simply play my newest game: Stomp Tomato.

Stomp Tomato

After a quite long waiting, patience and negotiations it has been done, the game is finally released and will be getting viral to your favorite portals.  The game has been made initially available on the sponsor’s site and on meez.com, then will be uploaded to other major sites as well. Have a meez account? Load your meez avatars anywhere or play it on meez.com to gain some coins and rewards as this game has the Meez Inside API!

Everyone can now play, enjoy, relieve stress, or simply waste your time! So what are you waiting for, play Stomp Tomato now!

Webmasters: If you want this game on your sites, simply grab the goodies here (click at download game).

I’ve been fond of experimenting on things and so this time with what I do and work on most. I’ll try to make some research and test based on what I have made. These posts won’t be recognized as 100% accurate and correct on all situations although I aim to be at the most. See disclaimer before implementing any theories and/or statements described in. So let me start with an quite old issue with disabling external links upon embedding an swf in a web page.

Since flash player 9, site owners were allowed to take use of the additional security. You can control a SWF file’s access to network functionality by setting the allowNetworking parameter in the <object> and <embed> tags in the HTML page that contains the SWF content. It can be included by having:

<object width="100" height="100" data="sample.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
	<param name="id" value="sampleswf" />
	<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
	<param name="src" value="sample.swf" />
	<param name="name" value="sampleswf" />
</object>

See your help file about this or view the livedocs (as2 or as3) discussing this added security. Basically if this ever happens to a flash game, the developer and/or sponsor are neglected of having click backs to their own sites/portals, which is not a good thing. So I made a little research and test if actionscript can determine if allowNetworking was enabled or not. This test will try to determine if external links are allowed, not exactly return the value of the allowNetworking parameter. [ Read more... ]

1st MeezInside Contest w/ FGL

Well, yeah! The results were revealed October 7 and this write up is actually 2 weeks due from it but posting this news is better than never posting it. So yes, I am really grateful that I won the 3rd position in the first MeezInside Contest. If you don’t know about this contest that’s pretty normal, you’re probably not around flashgamelicense.com, to mention that meez has partnered with FGL with this contest. The rules really

Meez

sound simple, make a game implementing the meez inside API and use the meez avatars. It is actually my first time using an API that actually dynamically loads images (meez avatars) while having security policies in mind and also having to make awesome “tricks” with the limited animation strips rendered. It was a great experience sharing and solving problems, questions and issues with other co-developers who joined the contest and used the API. Over all making the game gave a lot to my experience including my art skills, that is like me gaining a new level in flash game development both in code and art.

The results can be found at FGL’s MeezInside forum (you can still view the meezinside forum even if your not logged into FGL).

The ultimate stomping on tomatoes game.

Anyway the game is about to be published and will be released hopefully this week or the next, so watch out for it. Play and make waste of your time in this simple and quick yet very fun tomato stomping game.
