Count right answers in macromedia director?

December 4th, 2009 | by admin |

i have to make a basic quiz using director and lingo, i have the quiz but not sure on the lingo i should use to make it count the number of right answers that chosen out of 10 questions. Can anyone give me an idea on the code that i will need to use. Thanks

Hi its hard to know what to write as I’ve no idea of your quiz. ANyway, heres some pointers. In frame 1 you need a frame script that sets a global variable to zero, this will be the variable that holds the correct scores.

for example

global gCorrect
on exitFrame me
gCorrect=0
end

you need to put a text box(its the A shape in the tool bar) and in the cast rename it to Answer or what ever you want

then whenever a player gets a correct score, for example if they click a right answer you put on the answer button this:

global gCorrect
on mouseUp me

gCorrect=gCorrect+1

member("Answer").text=string(gCorrect)

end

So whenevr they hit a correct answer the score held in variable gCorrect is shown in the text field you called answer.

If you want to check it works, do this. draw a simple box on youe stage and a text (member name is Answer), right click the box and choose script… then paste this in

on exitFrame me
go The Frame

end

global gCorrect
on mouseUp me

gCorrect=gCorrect+10

member("Answer").text=string(gCorrect)

end

now when you run the thing you should see your score go up. Hope that helps but like I said without knowing your quiz idea its pretty much guess work. good luck
