Hello all,
I need some help with placing random variables on the screen. What I am trying
to do is have the program load a picture and then place 3 answers next to it. I
want the program to load the correct answer with 2 wrong answers. when the
wrong answer is picked then that option/answer is no longer available for
clicking. when the right is picked then it should reload everything and start
over with a new picture/variables. I can get it to work if I right the same
code 100 times, but i am sure there is a way to do this as a loop or something.
I am very new to programming so please be gentle. Thanks

Have you gotten this far yet? Knowing this would help gauge your
comfort level with ActionScript.

Okay, now we're adding to the complexity. ;)

.... what do you mean by "everything"?

What you're describing seems to be a multiple choice quiz, or possibly a
game. In any case, it's got a lot going on, which means you'll need to
break it down into smaller goals -- and possibly break *those* down into
smaller goals -- until you arrive at a handful of specific questions.

I'm happy to help, and there are plenty others here equally ready to do
so, but what you've asked is too wide open to be answered specifically. How
are your questions formatted? Are they TextField instances, or maybe static
text fields in MovieClip instances (or, heck, buttons)? How are you loading
your images? Are they external or internal? Is the text content of your
questions coming from an external XML file? The answers to all of these
questions (and probably more) make all the difference in someone's offering
you advice.

So break it down and let's see what you've got. :)
