Re: FLASH: Quiz Game Variable...

[tjtritsch]

You may want to check your text file.  I have found that when you import the

variables, they all need to be strung together without any hard carriage

returns.  for example:


quest1=What is your favorite color?&ans1=Blue&quest2=What is your favorite

animal?&ans2=dog&. . .


In your Actions, you need to name a holding variable that will assign the

correct question at the right time.  SetVariable("question"=quest1)


Also, be careful of capitalization.  Flash seems to be case sensitive when it

comes to variables, although I haven't read anything to the contrary.


My question to the more experienced Flashers:  I read the help instructions on

how to emulate an array, but it seems to be unclear and I could not get it to

work.  How would you get a series of questions and answers into a Quiz game by

using an array?  I did mine by using If, then, else statements but I know there

must be a more efficient way.


Thanks
