I think you cant..

Is there a way to get the IP of the player in the flash file or something else to identify a player (if he play with IE or firefox for exemple, my game need to know that it's the same player) ?

You could add something like Google Analytics to your game. This will not show you their IP adresses (because that's a privacy issue) but it will most of the time show you what browser and flash version they're using.

You can't do that without a database. You should set up a server for your game with a database that allows players to login, which is going to cost you some money.

As far as databases go, an easy program to use is called MySQL, which you can use in conjunction with PHP, as long as the server is PHP enabled.

However, you cannot collect data that would identify a player in the manner to which you are referring becaues, as PixelSmash said, it is a privacy issue.

you cant :/

you cant :/

Actually you best bet is to check the local API of the site where you are submitting your game. It might give you a way to access the current logon data for anyone subscribed to the site.

maybe you can use some php functions inside your flashgame to trace the ip

How bout have them create a user pw and stuff?

And again we are back to secure database management. If you ask for a username and password, then you need some way to track it all.

Not that much of a problem even a complete beginner can pick up a book, read through it and whip up a good enough database for their game.

Simple as that.

@Darkroot Yar. It just depends on the hosting environment of the game and whether or not our friend pictiofunny has access (or rather what kind of access they have).

@3Aegis3 I think that mochibot mostly tracks who all has hosted the flash file, not who has accessed it.
