Hi everyone,
I haven’t found any example how to create a custom leaderboard, so I’ve decided to create one. I’m sure that it can be useful for you :)
To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with the information in the Mochi Media docs.

With just a little bit of time, we will create something like this:

Let’s go!

We need 6 buttons: 2 function buttons (Load – to load our leaderboard, Send – to send the score)and 4 buttons to filter the score: daily/weekly/monthly/all

We also need 3 columns (Text fields) to output name/score/date of players.

Main code:

  1. initialization function 
    initBoardfunction 
initBoard():void{
	MochiServices.connect("MochiGameID", root);// connecting to MochiServices
	MochiScores.setBoardID("LeaderboardID"); // set the board ID to the leaderboard you wish to work
withbtnDaily.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showLeaderboard_d);
btnWeekly.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showLeaderboard_w);
btnMonthly.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showLeaderboard_m);
btnAll.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showLeaderboard_a); 
 
btnLoad.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadLeaderboard);
btnSend.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendScore);}
  2. request is a list of score: onScoresReceived – callback function that gets the scoresfunction 
    loadLeaderboard(e:MouseEvent):void
 
{
MochiScores.requestList(this, onScoresReceived);// request the scores and send them to the onScoresReceived method in this object or class}
 
//description onScoresReceived functionfunction onScoresReceived (args:Object):void{
if (args.scores != null) {
allScores = MochiScores.scoresArrayToObjects(args.scores);
showScore(allScores, 0, 15);
/*
* showScore(scores:Object, typeTop:int = 0, countPlaces:int = 10):void
* @scores - array of objects whose keys are derived from cols
* @typeTop - values:
* 		0 : alltime score
* 		1 : monthly score
* 		2 : weekly score
* 		3 : daily score
* @countPlaces - number of scores. show top 15 players for example
*/
} else {
if (args.error) trace("Error: " + args.errorCode);	}}
  3. implementation of the showScore function: 
    function showScore(scores:Object, typeTop:int = 0, countPlaces:int = 10):void
{
var scoresOb:Object;
var place:int = 1;
txt_name.text="";
txt_score.text="";
txt_date.text="";
for (var i = 0; i < countPlaces; i++) {
switch(typeTop) {
case 0: scoresOb = scores.alltime[i]; break;
case 1: scoresOb = scores.monthly[i]; break;
case 2: scoresOb = scores.weekly[i]; break;
case 3: scoresOb = scores.daily[i]; break;
}
if (scoresOb) {
txt_name.appendText(place++ + " " + scoresOb.name + '\n');
txt_score.appendText(scoresOb.score + '\n');
txt_date.appendText(showDate(scoresOb.timestamp) + '\n');
}
}
}
  4. function to display the correct date, for users :) 
    function showDate(date:Object):String
{
var myDate:Date = new Date(date);
var arMonths:Array = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
return (arMonths[myDate.getMonth()] + " " + myDate.getDate() + ", " + myDate.getFullYear());
}
  5. to send the score 
    function sendScore(e:MouseEvent):void{
var score:int = 300;
var name:String = "Typenamehere"
MochiScores.submit(score, name, this, SubmitComplete);
}
function SubmitComplete(ok:Boolean):void{
if (ok){
trace("Scores submitted!");
}else{
trace("Error");
}
}

That’s it. Here, I’ve described how to create a simple leaderboard. With this is simple leaderboard we can also add the current rank of the player, country flags, and a scroll bar…but I’ll save that for another tutorial :)
