MSN Minesweeper

OK, I know this is crap, but anyways, haha. I've been trying to figure out for the last 3 hours how this game engine works. I wasn't sure which forum to post this on, but anyways.

If there's any crazy dude with lots of time on their hands, maybe you could give it a try. It's easy to get the flash file along with some simple asp and xml files. But I haven't been able to figure out how the "move" works. I was hoping there would be some file with the positions or statuses of all the tiles on the board but I guess that'd be really an easy job for ppl who want to cheat this way?
Well, I am not doing it for the cheat, but rather, imagine playing with someone and you suddenly start clicking all the bombs without even clicking any other tile (hehe... pretty impressive I guess).

Anyways, the flash file seems to call some fscommand "move" passing where you clicked. The asp file seems to have a function that "updates" the board and it seems it gets the data from some xml file which I wasn't able to figure out which (nor did I even find any other xml file on the internet temp files).

Well, if any of you want to give it a try and succeed, please let me know

Well, the thing is, I am not looking for the source code of a minesweeper, I don't think it's hard to code one.

I was trying to... erm... I guess you could call it "hack" the msn minesweeper. I was looking at the actionscripts of SWF and the javascript trying to look for some sort of array or something that tells the game which tiles are bombs and which are not. So, in other words, if we can get this config file (I was thinking it might be some xml earlier on, but I am starting to suspect it's some sort of encrypted cookie) then we can just win the game by clicking these tiles of bombs without even uncovering the rest (which then again, would be pretty surprising to your opponent )
