Re: FLASH: Random Questions Without Repeating

[Ilia Pasymansky]

this script may help..??


Create an array for all the correct answers on the first frame of the main

timeline too:


set varaible:"answer1"= "yes"

set varaible:"answer2"= "no"

set varaible:"answer3"= "yes"

set varaible:"answer4"= "yes"

set varaible:"answer5"= "no"


And also put set varaible: "z" = "1"

and then call (random)


Then on the main timeline create a movieclip,inside the movieclip on the

first frame put:

set variable: "/:currentframe" = Getproperty("/",_currentframe)


Then on the second frame put:


Go To And Play(1)Now put this movieclip on a newlayer that spreads across

all frames.


Then on the first frame of the main movie put:


Call (Random)


The second frame on the main timeline should be given a label "Random"


On this frame we are going to create 5 unique random numbers:


Set Variable: "i" = 1

Loop While (i <> 6)

Set Variable: "rnd" = Random (5)+1

Set Variable: "x" = 1

Loop While (x <> (Length(Temp)+1))

If ((Substring (Temp, x, 1)) eq rnd)

Set Variable: "rnd" = ""

End If

Set Variable: "x" = x+1

End Loop

If (rnd ne "")

Set Variable: "Temp" = Temp & rnd

Set Variable: "i" = i + 1

End If

End Loop



Then we have a varaible called temp which now contains 5 unique random

numbers.


We now want to go to and play that unique random number so underneath we

put:


Go to And Play (Substring(temp,z,1))+ 2

set varaible "z" = z + 1


Now all you have to do is create 5 frames after for your five questions and

in each put a button, three questions and a textfield called "answer" On

each button put:


On(press)

if (Eval("answer" & currentframe)= answer

Call(random)

set varaible:"correct" = correct + 1

End If

End on


And also put a stop action on each frame.


Now create your questions and answers and put then out your answers in the

array!!


ANd then put a textfield on the maintimleine called "correct" this will

display the number of correct answers.
