dynamic variables (newbie question)

[smirnie]

Hello,

here's my prob. I want something as simple as letting people put in some simple data that I can use through the hole clip. f.i. a name and adress

I'm guessing i'll have to use dynamic and input boxes and some script: this is how far??? I got:

I've got one input textbox: instance: inputname, variable sInputname
one button to go to frame two
I've got one dynamic textfield on frame two: instance name, variable sName

some code on layer two of my second frame:

sName = sInputname

suprise, suprise it doesn't work.

I get an unexpected format error. Are you using flash mx 2004?

Yours works min doesn't although its the same thing. Strange,... very strange.
As long as I'm thinking in the wright direction, I don't feel completely stupid.

OK I've managed the name part

Now I have a new problem. I'm trying to create some kind of a selftest. The meaning is that people answer a few questions and than get a grade and some tips at the end. Also they get a survey of the answers thy've given.

This is how i thought solving this riddle:

Make question and give a few possible answers for each question. Each answers has a button each button gets following script:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
vraag 1 = "Antwoord 1" ;
commentaar 1 = "commentaar 1" ;
score = score 3+ ;
}

My last frame would contain a few dynamic textboxes f.i. vraagA: variable vraag1 commentaar vraag A: variable commentaar 1....

It doesn't work I get the following error message:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 3: ';' expected
vraag 1 = "Antwoord 1" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 4: ';' expected
commentaar 1 = "commentaar 1" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 5: ';' expected
score = score 3+ ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 3: ';' expected
vraag 1 = "Antwoord 2" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 4: ';' expected
commentaar 1 = "commentaar 2" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 5: ';' expected
score = score 5+ ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: ')' or ',' expected
gotoAndPlay(2 ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 3: ';' expected
vraag 1 = "Antwoord 3" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 4: ';' expected
commentaar 1 = "commentaar 3" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 5: ';' expected
score = score 1+ ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 3: ';' expected
vraag 2 = "Antwoord 1" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 4: ';' expected
commentaar 2 = "commentaar 1" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 5: ';' expected
score = score 1+ ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 3: ';' expected
vraag 2 = "antwoord 2" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 4: ';' expected
commentaar 2 = "commentaar 2" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 5: ';' expected
score = score 3+ ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 3: ';' expected
vraag 2 = "antwoord 3" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 4: ';' expected
commentaar 2 = "commentaar 3" ;

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 5: ';' expected
score = score 5+ ;

it doesn't even go to the next frame. Also when I test it it goes automatically to frame two evn though I've put a 'stop' at each frame.

Can you see where my little script is gowing wrong? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction and is this never going to work?

I'll post my fla it's just a draft version so I didn't pay any attention at the lay-out.

thx
