I’m trying to make use of the BigButton, but I can’t seem to get it to function. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Oh cool, thanks for the email and reply. I’ll try it out with your settings as soon as I catch a break from classes. ^-^

Hey man, just worked this out. you should be able to export in Flash using the publish settings of “network access” rather than local file access. Then it should run in the browser or standalone player. I made a quick demo and it worked (green means player 1 was connected), see http://blog.psibaspace.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/FlashDEMO.swf-Google-Chrome_2011-08-24_000007.png, but i did it in flash develop using this setting. http://blog.psibaspace.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/FlashDEMO-FlashDevelop_2011-08-24_000009.png

Is there any way to get this working as a standalone SWF file?
I just want to make a simple game played with a 360 controller.

I’ve added L3 and R3 button support and it *should* work in Windows 7 64-bit. Let me know if there are still issues – I don’t have Windows 7 64-bit to test on.

Thanks Yu-Chung Chen for linking the 64-bit article.

Hey all,

This is great stuff for prototyping!

I was wondering if someone has an updated version
that works on win7 64-bit and includes the two way communication with flash to enable vibration.

Maybe without the use of XNA things would work easier on win7?

Hi psiba,

Is it possible to expose L3 and R3 as buttons? I.E. when you press the sticks inwards.

The programmer who recompiled the x64 version for me (my last post, link expired…) is not available anymore so I can’t offer help this time…

Thank you, Yu-Chung Chen! I was having exactly the same problem, and was about to post asking for help when I saw your comment. I downloaded your version of the server, and it works perfectly (on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop).

Thank you for putting that together and making it so easily available, and thanks to the original authors too – this is going to make game prototyping much more straightforward!

Hi Dan, Hopefully you got my email days ago and you were able to use it in the contest. For anyone else that wants to use it in a comp, its totally fine. We’re currently using it for the 48hr Game Making Comp – http://making-games.net/48 (I’m in the comp right now, unshowered and barely slept)

I’ve fixed the Windows 7 issues and I posted a temporary solution of it here: http://projects.psibaspace.net.au/XBOX360InFlash/48hr2010_solution.zip. Once this comp is over I’ll clean it up and post the new version properly.
