i have just start using action script, im trying to set up a multi awnser question so that when the person clicks the right answer a tick apears next to it and when they click the wrong answer an x apears. i know its most likly to be simple but im not sure what script to use and which variables to use<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Actually, it isn't an "easy" script and there aren't magic variables to use. You make your own variables, er, I should say <i>Arrays</i> since that's what I found to be best.

If you are familar with Arrays, then you will want an Array of "correct" answers, and create a function that will take your correct Array, and jumble it (auto-generate) with wrong answers (or among the wrong answers). Well, you don't have to jumble anything, but I don't think you wanted people to come back and know the path of answers.

I don't want to confuse you more, but I made a function that would change the question/answers, using the same dynamic text field(s). The questionChanger function is called each time they finish choosing an answer. I wish I had code to show you, but I honestly don't anymore - maybe one day I'll do a Premium Article on the whole subject of doing a quiz. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
