Topic: Help understanding chumby / highscores

I read the Chumby Wiki on posting high scores, just not sure what to do with the info. I assume I place it on a button, and something like:

on(release){
getURL("http://content.chumby.com/score/create?id=<widget_instance_id>&score=<score>&custom=<custom_string>")

with the appropriate fields filled in. but do I need to add ,"post" after the url? Or is there a doPost command?

thanks!

Re: Help understanding chumby / highscores

Hi Shawn. Although it's a long time since I wrote it, I have a widget that I developed while I was getting the measure of the 'Scorekeeper' at Chumby.com. I've added it to the widget sources I've shared at gforge.chumby.com - I'm not sure if you need to register there to download, but you'll find the widget source (scoretester - Flash CS3 .fla) here - http://gforge.chumby.com/frs/?group_id=7

Re: Help understanding chumby / highscores

I also read the wiki and wondered what's the point with 'custom' field if you can't obtain it when requesting highest scores?
