Ho-ly shit.

Um, I might be able to think of something if you give me today.

[rtil]

picking the right answers would be pretty easy, it'd be a matter of taking the person to a 'right' or 'wrong' frame, as far as adding to a score i don't know anything about how flash deals with variables, but i'm sure it's simple since there are a billion quiz games on newgrounds.

I can do that with behaviors

[RobHalford]

Yeah what you can do is make a button with no text on it that will be labeled "correct", and set it to do "nextFrame();", then make another identical one called "wrong" and put about 3 instances of it on the stage.

then just overlay the answers and questions on top of it 300 times

simple

I can help out if you're doing AS2 (as3 is foreign to me). This all goes on the root/stage, by the way

for the scores, regardless of version, you're going to need to declare a variable for the number correct and another to store the percentage correct, so something like

var numCorrect:Number = 0;
var percent:Number = 0;

for each button, one of which is going to add 1 to numCorrect (instance name will be correctButton):

correctButton.onRelease = function(){
numCorrect++;
nextFrame();
}

on the last frame, this SHOULD help add up the scores:

onLoad = function(){
percent = numCorrect / 300 //3000 or however many questions you need
}

and somewhere in there, rig up a dynamic textbox to display "percent"

If this doesn't make sense it's because I'm completely incoherent right now.

i'll break down the code thor posted for you here. i'm going to assume you know how to give a symbol an instance name and put actionscript on a timeline (if you don't, god help you)

var numCorrect:Number = 0;
var percent:Number = 0;

two variables: one for the # correct, and one for the percentage correct. both defined as 0 to start.

correctButton.onRelease = function(){
numCorrect++;
nextFrame();
}

a function that is called when the correct answer is pressed. it adds 1 to the user's score and goes to the next frame.

onLoad = function(){
percent = numCorrect / 300 //3000 or however many questions you need
}

this actionscript is put on the last frame. onLoad tells it to load the function when the frame is reached. it divides the number correct by the number of questions that are in your quiz (you define that).

and somewhere in there, rig up a dynamic textbox to display "percent"

i don't remember how to do this but if you make a dynamic textbox with an instance name percentageCorrect for example, there is an easy way to put the percentage # from variable percent into this box

wow AS3 kinda reminds me of java.. was that done on purpose?

[rtil]

most programming languages look pretty similar. java and actionscript both take most of their cues from C

[RobHalford]

wow AS3 kinda reminds me of java.. was that done on purpose?

Yes. They rebuilt it with JS in mind.

thats what you get for procrastinating !

[rtil]

i'm surprised you've been unable to figure out how to do this on your own. it's very simple actionscript - have you even tried?

[Wasim]
