RE: FLASH: controlling randomized movie sets

Yeppers... use eq instead of =.

= is for numbers, eq is for string comparison.

Subject: FLASH: controlling randomized movie sets



Hi all. We've set up a file containing a set of 36 quiz questions. We

have randomized the questions so that each time the student takes the

quiz, they get a different set of  8 questions. We've tried to detect

previously chosen question using the script below:


Set Variable: "quest1" = "part1/a" & random(36) & ".swf"

If ("quest0" = "quest1")

      Set Variable: "quest1" = "part1/a" & random(36) & ".swf"

End If


trying to test if the name of movie in variable quest0 is the same as

the name of the movie in variable quest1, and to re-run the script in

that case, (new tests (quest1 = quest2, etc.) are added for subsequent

variables). Trouble is, we get duplicate copies of some questions each

time, so the eval is not working properly. Anyone have a better way?


TIA!
