I'm looking for someone to point me in the right direction – I've been trying to make a rather complex quiz, and I have little to no actionscript/Flash experience whatsoever, though I'm a pretty quick learner.

The quiz is supposed to define the user's political alignment – as in, specific questions point towards specific political parties. This is the most problematic part – I don't know how to make non-binary answers in Flash. What I want to happen is that the responses given to specific questions add points to the political parties I've defined, so that the user ends up with a % distribution of how well they fit into each political party (I'm Canadian, so we've got at least 5 major ones).

Does anyone know of a specific template I might use for this, or a tutorial that would guide me? I've been searching for a couple hours now, and I've found absolutely nothing. Thank you VERY much in advance.

That's not realy in the coding domain. The people who will write the questions and define the possible answers have to also define the weight of each answer in the final result. The programmer cannot do that.

If it was multiple choice you would create a variable that changes when you pick an answer. Here is a tutorial on basic variables working:
