Are there a lot of games that use that yet?

Funny; some of the users in the Flash forum said the opposite; that it only works in AS3 (which clearly wasn't true). Either way, I'm pretty sure many of the 'Games with Medals' use AS3. For example, the Doom Triple Pack uses Alchemy, which converts C++ to AS3, but not AS2.
I can't speak from experience, but perhaps Tom/Psycho/whoever only gives you the relavant code for the version which you are using. After all, AS3 hasn't really lost any functionality from AS2, and certainly not from AS1 (I don't think Pico's School's code was upgraded), so I don't see why it couldn't be used.


Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders. Marginally.

Some author that I asked to add medals to his game told me so. So I dunno \(o_O)/

As Xeptic said, the medals for D-Day defender are up and working again! THANKS XEPTIC.

__TIPS FOR D-DAY DEFENDER___

In order to pratically get ALL the medals, follow these simple rules.

-instead of aiming at a specific soldier, aim at a -------......___ angle in a group of soldiers. This way you will kill them a lot faster and less will make it far enough to start shooting you.

-Shoot the tanks, cars, grenade soldiers, AND ALWAYS THE PLANE first because all of these explode, killing everyone around them. Then get the rest of the men left.

-After around 3 days, planes will start coming. Listen for them and shoot at the air when you hear them! Once your hit with one of these bad boys you lose 1/2 of your health! So keep a HEAR out for them.

-In order to watch all of the cutscemes and endure my awful voice acting, go to the nearest grocery or hardware store and buy a set of ear plugs for a dollar. Come back to your game and insert them into your ears. Watch the cutscenes, WARNING: WHEN WATCHING THE CUTSCENES PLEASE DO NOT ACTUALLY WATCH THEM! WATCHING THE CUTSCENES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BRAIN AND EYE DAMAGE! To avoid accidently looking at the cutscenes, grab a bandana from your house and tie on your head over your eyes.

-use mortar strikes when most needed. Save them up for when your about to die. This applies to every other upgrade.

Well, I hope that helps! With these tips in mind you should be able to get all the medals. :)

IN order to put medals on an AS3 game goto the Publish Settings and set to FLASH PLAYER 8 or 6.

That should do the trick.

Flash Player 9 was the first one to support AS3, so that wont work.

OK WHAT THE FUCK is up with this undefined crap? I tried going to the adobe site to delete the files, I refreshed a shit load of times and I still get questions that are undefined? The author should have his nuts stapled his forehead for even making us go through the hassle to play his crappy ass game

For crissake, in Heretic, how the hell do I LOOK DOWN? xD
I came out of the map and all of a sudden, my view is stuck UP. It was funny for the first 30 seconds of me trying to find a switch in the Cathedral level, but now I just feel lost and .. a bit loney..

Anyone have the keymaps? The menu only lists the keys for the original Doom/Heretic setup, not as it was ported to flash.

Though thank goodness the source was made open last year. Took them long enough. :)

phew, finally got the last medal for D Day, although I came close once, too close, thinking I only had to survive for 10 days and one hour (I can't think straight at 4 am in the morning).

not too difficult once you learn some strategies and save up on power ups

now I'm trying the Drop the Bomb game again. Turns out that going to the adobe site doesn't do anything. I first cleared the data, then went on a search to find that SOL file, deleted it and refreshed the game
Here's the file path with _____ being your account name

C:\Documents and Settings\_____\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\VPSLZ3FE\uploads.u ngrounded.net\500000\500156_dtb_full.swf

The random numbers and letters might not be the same for everyone.

the medals aren't working anyway. I got a few as I was finishing the game, but most of them didn't show up on my account

On D-Day Defender how do I survive 250 hours??? My average is 110-120 playing normally, if I use the P trick is much less...
If you do not know, pausing and unpausing the game the gun will be reloaded instantly saving a little time but so time passes much slower... phew...

The in-game achievements aren't linked to the NG medals, I could've done so but that was too much of a bother to be honest. If you have unlocked the in-game achievements you have to complete the challenges again for the NG medals. The NG medals should be completely glitch-free now, the latest version has been approved and uploaded.

I thought I fixed that pause-glitch by the way...

Yeah l have this problem too, l thought l was the only one....
And 1/5 times l open the game l get the normal answers for one question then again they start to become undefined...kinda crap if you ask me.

Also, for that copyright thing, l know l mixed up the (c) (tm) and (r), but yeah, in the end l think that we were saying the same thing...
Final conclusion:
Reviews do not count as something of value so the reviewers probably don't give a shit about me copying their reviews...
And l'll credit Wylo for his Pianist text if he wants to..

Wow quite frankly I never remember being number 1 on the medal list on the logs. I never thought I'd get this far guys. As for now I have to start watching Fleshlight a bit closer than usual because he's awfully close to beating me with that "EXTRA INNINGS" medal... Anyways most of the medals are bugged and I don't wanna bother playing that game anymore.

Anyone else has problems with the Extra Innings medal on Drop the Bomb? I entered the bonus round with 11 spins once (and I also won it with only one bomb), and got no medal. Now I entered it with 17(!) spins and I didn't get it! I got bombed out when I had 8 spins left, though. But still the description says "ENTER the bonus round". Damn. :(
