Server High Scores - crossdomain.xml

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I am having issues getting unity webplayer to post high scores. I keep getting an error issue:

There was an error getting the high score: Rejected because no crossdomain.xml policy file was found
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:print(Object)
$:MoveNext() (at Assets/Scripts/HSController.js:32)

My game is uploaded here: http://dakar.bournemouth.ac.uk/~hmonaghan/unity/WebPlayer.html

And this is the script I’m using for the HSController.js file:

private var secretKey="nottellingyou"; // Edit this value and make sure it's the same as the one stored on the server
    
var addScoreUrl="http://dakar.bournemouth.ac.uk/~hmonaghan/unity/addscore.php?";
var highscoreUrl="http://dakar.bournemouth.ac.uk/~hmonaghan/unity/display.php";    

function Start() {
    getScores();
}   

function postScore(name:String, score:int) {
    //This connects to a server side php script that will add the name and score to a MySQL DB.

    // Supply it with a string representing the players name and the players score.
    var hash=Md5.Md5Sum(name + score + secretKey);
    var highscore_url = addScoreUrl + "name=" + WWW.EscapeURL(name) + "&score=" + score + "&hash=" + hash;

    // Post the URL to the site and create a download object to get the result.
    hs_post = WWW(highscore_url);
    yield hs_post; // Wait until the download is done
    if(hs_post.error) {
        print("There was an error posting the high score: " + hs_post.error);
    }
}

// Get the scores from the MySQL DB to display in a GUIText.
function getScores() {
    gameObject.guiText.text = "Loading Scores";
    hs_get = WWW(highscoreUrl);
    yield hs_get;
    if(hs_get.error) {
        print("There was an error getting the high score: " + hs_get.error);
    } else {
        gameObject.guiText.text = hs_get.text; // this is a GUIText that will display the scores in game.
    }
}

Can someone please help me?

You have to place the crossdomain.xml in the root of your domain where the addscore.php is. So in your case it should be placed at http://dakar.bournemouth.ac.uk/crossdomain.xml

The policy looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
