Re: FLASH: Quiz Game Variable...

[mhogan]

I too am working on a quiz game. Flash will load all of the variables at

once from the text file, so set up a target clip called variables or

something like that. Naming conventions become very important here. When the

variables are loaded, simply have one or more text fields (depending on your

number of questions at a given time i.e. a. b. c. then do an eval statement

between your text field variable and the question like: Eval ("a" &

"question1") this will return the value of question1 into your text field.

If you want to generate the questions randomly, it gets a little more hairy.

You have to emulate an array and then chose from the array randomly such as

Set variable "randomquestion" = Eval ("question" & Random(#of questions)

flash will then run through your list and pick a question. you then set the

text field variable to equal the random variable such as

Set variable "questions" = "randomquestion" I know this is long winded, but

I hope not too confusing.
