    I've been trying to send scores for flash games on a pet site.

    It works like this, when the game is over, this generates a random hash. Then when you click send score, the score is sent in some url with the hash in it. After the score is sent, the hash expires.

    So, I've found the page to generate a new hash, but I dont know how to incorporate this into the URL, to send a score

    the hash page is like, sendhash.php?helloworld=hi&n%5finfo=WAIT
    If I go to the page in my browser, it will display something like:
    &hashkey=d1547bd7014963edfb80ffddd193fb43

    The URL to send score after getting the hash contains all the info, and is like this:
    Code (Text):
    1.  
    2. http://www.site.com/sendscore.php?g=2&s=268&h=17d1d80fa375661185a17aac6592568&myscore=242&myhash=16a9a12e5e671456537c64fda8327155&myhashlen=32&myhashnum=32&numpos=0%2C1%2C3%2C5%2C6%2C8%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C15%2C16%2C17%2C18%2C20%2C21%2C25%2C26%2C27%2C28%2C29%2C30%2C31&letpos=2%2C4%2C7%2C9%2C19%2C22%2C23%2C24&mycatch=24&mychar=5&mynum=16912&b=6&EndString=1%2C7%2Cd%2C1%2Cd%2C8%2C0%2Cf%2C%2Ca%2C3%2C7%2C5%2C6%2C6%2C1%2C1%2C8%2C5%2Ca%2C1%2C7%2Ca%2Ca%2Cc%2C6%2C5%2C9%2C2%2C5%2C6%2C8&i=32&EndStringLen=0&FinalString=17d1d80fa375661185a17aac6592568&e=32&thischar=8

    I know that the values:
    g: is for game ID
    s: is the score to be sent
    myhash: is for the hash generated
    myhashlen: should be for the number of charaters in the hash

    can't figure out what others stand for.

    The rest is probably a function in the flash file directly.
    You'll have to download the flash game and extract the Action Script with a SWF decompiler to see all the code hidden in there. From there, you'll be able to see how they constructed the final URL to send the score.
    It's far from easy. And that's the reason why there's not many scoresenders for neopets either.

    Where can I get a decompiler that's good?
    So I can't just SS by getting a fresh hash and changing value in the URL eh

    I think it's called SoThink or something like this...
    search for SWF decompiler.
    But it's more than just changing hash ;)
