I am trying to create a quiz using combox component. I am not sure how to go about correcting the answers.

pls. let me know where I am going wrong.
a sample file at www4.ncsu.edu/~bjagann/forum/cb.zip

Howdy...

I saw the other thread with the same problem... Should I say this is the crossposting as well???

Same thing applies here...

if ([b]this["q" + i + "_cb"][/b].getSelectedItem().data == correctAnswers[i])

Oh... You are not allowed to use my initial as a file name...

[texbala]

thnx CyanBlue...

yeah.. it was sort of cross-posting!!

i copied out the simple step so that i will be able to get some help... in the General Help section. have a deadline to work tonight... hence the neediness

i always gets stuck in this path (i know i am asking the same kinda problem the second time in this forum)

thnx!! a long night to go!!

[CyanBlue]

Sure... Holler me when you need me... Don't know how long I am going to be up tonight, but I'll be around...

That pathing stuff... Yeah... That's the pain... But you gotta get over it cuz there are bigger waves of pain coming to you... Lots of mountains to climb to get us one step ahead...

thnx CyanBlue..

am stuck here....
am creating a quiz... with combox box values.. to be checked...

the last part of the quiz.. to check whether correct or not..
i need to put a correct mark/ incorrect mark at the side when btn_check button is pressed.

btn_check.onPress = function() {
    var correctAnswers = new Array(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3,1, 2);
    var userAnswers = new Array(q1_cb.getValue(), q2_cb.getValue(), q3_cb.getValue(), q4_cb.getValue(), q5_cb.getValue(), q6_cb.getValue(), q7_cb.getValue(), q8_cb.getValue());
    for (i=0; i<=8; i++) {
        if (userAnswers[i] == correctAnswers[i]) {
            this["holder"+i].attachMovie("tick", "tick"+i, i);
            trace(this["holder"+i]);
            trace("userAnswers "+ userAnswers[i] + " correctAnswer "+ correctAnswers[i]);
            total++
            trace(total);
        } else {
            this["holder"+i].attachMovie("wrong", "wrong"+i, i);
        }
    }
};

let me know, if u need the file..

"holder" - is an empty mc
"tick" is the linkage to the mc in the library
"wrong" - dido


thnx

[CyanBlue]

Yeah... File would be easier... I thought that I was going to add that part in your last file, but I see that it is different one... Let me know the URL...

Oh... Forgot to ask one more thing... What is the thing you want me to check???

thnx!!

[texbala]

also.. i need to add two possible answers for the second/ third question

the file that i had sent... doesn't have "tick" and "wrong"

also.. i need to make the holder either have correct/ wrong mc's.

[CyanBlue]

Um... Let's not go that fast... Check out the file first and see if I am getting it right... I don't know what you want me to fix cuz your attachMovie() function worked just fine to me... Hm... Let me know first...

[texbala]

for me.. the attachMovie didn't work.. that was the only problem when i posted it...

the next problem.. how can i add two answers to be correct.

also.. did u check to see whether the right answers have the blue and the wrong answers have the red... for me.. sometimes it doens't match... ?? am i missing something??
