Professional :: Creating Online Quiz With Scoring Results
Aug 8, 2010
I had an existing client ask me about the possibility of building an online quiz. I am fairly adept at working "inside" Flash, but always run into problems when trying to export data "from" Flash anywhere else. I am also trying to figure out if Flash is the best application to build this quiz (I see other possible apps like Captivate, but don't know if they are necessary for what I am trying to do).
What I need to do:
I need to create a Login screen to attach the final text score to an individual.
Create (50) separate screens for 50 questions with multiple answers for each (simple enough) with submit buttons once the answer(s) are chosen.
Each time an answer is submitted it has a certain "weight" toward the total score (which I am guessing that I could track into a variable inside Flash?) When the test is complete all I need to do is send that Person's Name/Total Score to a database. Is this something best accomplished using Flash?

Using Flash CS3, having issues getting flash to send quiz results to a LMS. Using the Flash quiz templates, exporting with SCORM 1.2 compliance. The LMS is able to track times attempted and if the lesson was complete or not, however the quiz results don't reach the LMS.
I think this can be resolved in the actionscript or the javascript that gets exported with the HTML file Apparently you can control the javascript functions with FScommands from actionscript Something like fscommand ("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw" + "," + integer); I don't know where in the actionscript this should be triggered from.

I'm trying to make a quiz with multiple question types (multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, drag/drop). The problem I am having is that the questions are not scoring correctly. Here's what happens

i made a quiz in flash using actionscript:
At the end I have to sum the answers and show the result to the user but I can't get it.
Here is the code (I'm kind of new to actionscript, sorry if the code it's too long):
Code:
var p1=0;
var p2=0;
var p3=0;

I have developed a number of Maths Question generators using random numbers. Students are able to input answers and see that they are correct. I would like to progress to the stage of storing student results on my website server (Actionscript 2.0 - with CS4)I am not sure where to start with this and I was hoping for suggestions on the direction I should take to be able to do this.

I am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you play the swf file on it's own it works fine. If you play the file as a projector on it's own it works fine too.
The problem only occurs when it is loaded into the main projector on a level above the root.

I have a little quiz, where at the end the results are calculated and the test takers are taken to a results screen which calculates their results.
I have AS3 code creating the message screen, and the score is calculating ok. I want to capture the users name on the results page, and this is not working. I have attached the code which calculates the score and where I added the instance name of the test box when they login. I get an error when I publish. The error is "Access of undefined property name name_text"
obviously this is not how to capture that information, but not sure how to do it. Again, I have a text box with the instance name of "name_txt", and I am trying to capture that data on a results screen using AS3.
Code:
feedback.text = "Congrats" +name_txt+ "on finishing the exam!
Your score is "+Math.round(score*100)+"%
You may now close the exam window.";

I am trying to create a quiz in Flash CS5. I have coded all the quiz so that it is done in different frames, such as the start screen in frame 1, then the five questions in frames, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (one for each question). How would I create a scoring system so that if the user got a question right it would add 1 to the score but continue scoring through to the next frame? It needs to have a pass rate of 4 out of 5 correct answers.

I am working on an eLearning lesson that needs to score quiz results using a statistical formula called a probit function. There are formulas in many languages (VB, C++, etc.) for the probit function, but not in AS3. The closest I can find is in JavaScript.

I have made a start on my quiz, in order to complete the criterions I have to create a project (a quiz in my case) which uses a variety of methods and tools e.g. drag and drop features, user text input and numeric input etc.I had planned on creating 4 topics and 4 questions in each. Having searched the forum it appears that the common consensus for creating a quiz is to set up your questions in a XML file however I have no idea how to use this or what it is. Moreover from my research I found I appear to be doing things slightly different to other people who are doing or did a quiz. This difference is how the answers are input; I will be user input text fields along, multiply choice buttons etc. I also am placing my questions in different places for different sections and I am also required to use video.This may still be able to be done however I only have 29 days to complete the task and the way I'm planning will be quicker as I understand how it works at least. The first problem I am having is how to code for the input text. I plan on allowing for the user to input a word and then to compare that word against the correct answer. This also brings me onto my second problem. Once a section of questions has been completed I plan on taking the user to a screen which displays how many answers they got correct. This would involve tracking their answers and comparing them to a set of correct answers however I have no idea how to do this. (from what i have learnt recently the use of an array maybe?).
The final problem I am having at the moment is setting up a 'barrier of sorts' In my first question i have set up a mask which applies only to the image I have also placed on the stage. The mask is applied to a circle which can be dragged around displaying small sections of the picture at a time. I wish to stop the circle leaving the picture as it falls under the background once it as left the area of the image. This results it in disappearing. I have no idea how to solve this and I could not find information on it. The solution I think would be to stop the masked circle leaving the area of the picture OR to reset it back to original position if it is released outside the images area.My quiz is far from complete at the moment and I have not yet even finished the frames for each of the questions however these problems are fundamental to the quiz's success and so I felt I needed to confront them now.I can upload what I have done so far and send the link in a pm so you can see what I mean (if it is not already clear)

I have a simple catching game with objects falling from the top of the screen and when they are caught at the bottom I want a movieclip to appear with +5 to show the point scoring. I have set up a timer to show the mc then to delete it when it finishes. It all works apart from the mc will not disappear once the timer is finished. I have thrown a trace statement in to check that it is firing and that shows up fine. What the hell am I doing wrong? Here is the section of code:

I am still using flash 6.0, the version the school gave me, anyway first of all are there any updates available somewhere? I'm still with the original 6.0000000 version. I am creating a flash quiz using the templates available, it's really easy and everything is going well. However, is there a way to redirect the user (getURL) if he has a percentage of say, 80% or higher?

I am writing a module and I have a section in this flash file where a quiz comes up and if you don't click on the right answer it tells you to try again. If you click on the right answer it will load the next swf file. But I can't get this last part to work. The quiz is within an xml file.
var current:Number = 0;
var qbox:Sprite = new Sprite;
var quiz:XML; var xloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
qbox.x = 10; qbox.y = 125; this.addChild(qbox);

I know there are quite a few examples of drag and drop quizzes but what I need is a tad bit different. I will have a list of answers that a user must put in the correct order in some slots. When the user drags a particular answer onto a slot even if it isn't exactly on top but nearby, the target will sense this and snap the answer into the slot. The user can change the order at anytime.
[URL]
Ok at this site it has exactly the snap motion to the target that I wanted. Although I don't need the feature where the movieclip goes back to it's original location if it is not placed in the correct target. In fact I can't have that because the quiz results will tell the user after they finish putting their answers in the order they believe to be correct, whether or not their order of answers was correct after they click the submit button.

I am getting questions from the database (just text) and then passing them to flash via flash vars.I want one question to be displayed then the user will answer (text) and click a button and then the next question will be displayed for them to answer and so on.I am not hoping for overly specific advice but as I am very new to flash/actionscript am just looking for broad advice (or links ?) on how to approach this. Can I do it all from one frame just using actionscript?I think what I am really after (assuming I am not way off track) is if all the questions should be handled at once which I guess will require some kind of loop that listens for some buttonclick event to move to the next question ..... or be 'reloading' the flash movie and dealing with only 1 question at a time.

I'm trying to create some script that will connect to my PHP script, which has searched the database for whatever I told it to....and it will right the results to XML that I send to Flash. What I've been up all night doing is trying to make some kind of class that will allow me to filter those results avtively?
If you're running Firefox:
Go to the address bar and type about:config
When you get there you can filter them by typing any letter
It will return all the results that have that/those letters in them
Notice how it does it for every letter
Actually you can see you preview of it by using the iTunes search feature
I've had enough of these undefined messages in my test output..the same XMLNode object whatever selections worked without the class and now where I could find such a Class or perhaps know better search keywords than iTunes search filter Actionscript Flash Class.

Anyone know where to start thinking about logic for an XML quiz with multiple correct answers, that when the user gets the question right, that question is removed from the random array of questions so we never need to answer it again?

I'm working at a company specialising in online training (related to the building & construction industry mainly - but also things such as occuptional health and safety) and we're starting to put courses online. We're currently using Composica and are looking to make the jump to Flash since it looks much nicer and has much more functionality.I've used flash for a while (mainly designing) and have some basic knowledge in Actionscript 3 - the main issue is not knowing how to make Actionscript communicate with HTML (probablyJavascript even) to relay the results of the course / test to the main webpage, saying whether the participant has passed or not, also to block them from going to the next chapter if they haven't completed the current and maybe even save their place if they have to leave halfway through.

I am aware of the new FlashBuilder 4.5 mobile application settings. I am aware that it uses an enhanced version of AIR to make apps that work well on mobile devices, which would normally mean that I can't have it run in the browser. I'm also aware that I should be able to get the enhanced performance if I create a swf with the correct compiler settings, and use the correct base components for my application. What are the correct base components? Spark or MX or something else? What are the correct compiler settings? I need the application to work for both desktop users, and mobile users who visit the website through their flash enabled browser.
There are three important features.
Being able to load a file from the mobile device/computer.
Being able to have the softkeyboard activated when needed.
Good mobile performance

I'm having some resizing/full-screen difficulty with loading an external quiz swf into a video player swf. What's happening is that, when the quiz swf is first loaded into the video player, the size of the loaded swf has the correct dimensions and aspect ratio. That part is fine, but as soon as I try to fullscreen or resize the video player (using listeners with stage dimensions) the external quiz swf changes dimensions on me and looks vertically squished and smaller.
I've talked to other people about this issue, and they're telling me that this issue is occuring because the quiz swf contains elements outside of the stage. These hidden elements are supposedly giving the video player "incorrect" dimensions. Is this really the case? Is there any other solution other than fitting any hidden elements within the quiz swf within the stage? And if this is the only solution, then why on initial load does the quiz swf show up properly?

I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
