I'm not an expert so could you please use simple terms when explaining if possible :p
For a lot of older flash games that don't exactly use checksums to prevent data manipulation, you can use it to change your values to give yourself a different score, (Eg, place yourself high up on the leaderboards) or give yourself high amounts of health.
Newer flash games, users have learned about this and they add checksum methods that ensues that data tampering has not occurred and if it occurs then it resets the values. (Some of the stuff is server sided too so you can't access it, you are sending data to and then having it retrieved).
The new ways that they write it up are great, but not great for wanting to hack it.
