flash (macromedia): Hi forum,

Sorry if this is a really stupid question but I'm trying to create a quiz
that has got 6 questions and each question has 3 answers. At the end of the
quiz the answers get totalled and the result gets displayed depending on
your choices.

Anyone done anything like this or can point me in the right direction to a
tutorial.

Again apologies if it's a stupid question but I'm a flash newbie ;-)

I've looked at the Macromedia templates and I'm not sure it is the right
thing?

Thanks in advance

I've done this before. Its easy.
Just use variables.


Say you have a question.. Like, "what color is grass?"

Then you have 3 buttons for the 3 answers "red" "green" "blue"

Then attach an answer variable onto each button

On Release {
questionOneAnswer = false;
}
On Release {
questionOneAnswer = true;
}
On Release {
questionOneAnswer = false;
}


Do that for as many questions as you want and then have a "continue" or
"finished" button to go to the results page. So make a label on the timeline
called "finished"

And attach a goto to that button like this:

On Release {
gotoAndPlay("finished");
}


Then on that frame test all the results like this:


If(questionOneAnswer)
totalCorrect++; //increment the total answers they got right

If(questionTWOAnswer)
totalCorrect++; //increment the total answers they got right

And on and on....

Then on the page you could make a dynamic text field with a variable name of
totalCorrect and it will display how many they got right.

You could do the same for total incorrect and subtract that number each time
one is correct.


That¹s just a quick and simple way to do it but that'll work.
