Cheers for brilliant tutorial!! now all i have to do is work thru your flash tute. hopefully will work out drag and drop question in quiz with image to image, rather than text and image provided within cp.
thanks again

Leticia,
This can be done I’m sure using advanced actions. Give it a try and if you get stuck and still need help, send me your Cp and I’ll take a look.

Jay,

I received a PDF from Connie that explains how she used Advanced Actions. I added a link to it at the bottom of the post. Here is what she stated:

Hi Jay,
I’ve attached a pdf of the steps I used. I may be able to pull one of the
slides from my project and create a .cp file to show how it works.

In my project I am creating a simulation of administering a test of nicotine
dependence, there are six questions and the respondent’s choice for each
question is given a value. The total is then evaluated to create a label for
the degree of dependence.

If you are simply trying to capture survey type data and want the score for
each likert scale collected and added to a database then you may need to
make some changes to the script.

Good luck and keep at it.

CjP

Physiomedia,
I’d love to see your CP or PDF with instructions. I’m still wrestling with advanced actions. I understand in principle what needs to be done, but can’t seem to make the leap to putting all the pieces together to make it actually work the way I want it to.

Cool!

If you email me the .cp and .swf I would be happy to add it as a download to the end of this post.

Thanks Mark. I’ve implemented your suggestions and in the end had to use an Advanced Action. A bit fiddely but after some testing and debugging it now works. I am happy to share a .pdf with screen grabs of the various steps but as there is no way to upload it to this blog anyone who is interested will just need to send me an email.
