however I am having another problem… the posting of a high score only works once, then I have to refresh the page to have it work again. Any idea why?

thanks!

keep an eye on this account for my first game before Monday, it’ll be using papervision 3d and as3.

It’s called ‘Christmas Chaos’, and is more of an open test to see if these games can be a viable income or not. I will post the results on my website.

Thanks again for all the help!

good luck on your newest game.

MochiAds, the ad delivery network that many game developers use, also has an AS3 high score API available. It doesn’t have as many features as the Kongregate API, but they have plans to expand it. There may also be other portal sites that have APIs as well.

If I get some more time, I want to do some more research on the other available APIs that are out there. Right now I’m spending most of my free time on my next game.

As far as security is concerned for Kongregate’s API, it only works if the player has an active session on Kongregate, so it is more secure than a completely open high score API. I dedicated person could still probably get a bogus high score through, but Kongregate would probably catch it and nuke their account.

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this.

In your article, you mentioned that this is useful when building a game for multiple networks… so I am assuming that if you are NOT playing this on Kongregate.com that there is no way to post a high score? Is this correct?

Also, do you know if any other networks support as3 high scores?

is the Kongregate highscore API secure?

if (apiConnection != null && apiConnection.type == "kongregate") {
	apiConnection.scores.submit(score);
}

when I use your code, I receive the following error:

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property score not found on com.digitalmachina.KongregateApiConnection and there is no default value.
