I am building individual movies as quiz questions for a system that will do two things: 1) Randomize the order of the questions, and, 2) Randomize the number of questions in the test. Some of the questions will be based in plain old HTML and some will be Flash movies. The questions will display individually as the user goes through the testing process.
To move from question to question, the student will use Next and Previous buttons which will commit the answer to a database to be stored until the student submits the test. For the Flash movies, the buttons will need to "grade" the answer, commit the grade and other information about the answer to the database, and then move the user forward or back through the test. There will also be a drop-down menu of question numbers (1,2,3, etc) that will allow the student to jump to question x without having to use the prev and back buttons. I would like these buttons to all be within the movie, but am drawing a blank as to how to create a dynamically built drop down menu, or even if I can do such a thing.
The environment on the backend will be ASP and an SQL database. I realize that building these items in HTML would be easier, but I'd like to have as much of the movies be self-contained as possible.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated and praised accordingly.
Thanks.
