Learning Interactions In Flash MX
Hi their,

Just a quickie on the built in Learning interactions in flash MX....Does anyone know if its possible to add more 'Answers' / 'Options' to a interaction?...by default you can have up to 8 true false, drag and drop options. I have created an interaction colour wheel for an elearning application with 12 colour segments. I wish to add additional answers ie 12+?...is it possible to do so, or adapt the clip peraminters to take more questions?

Any help greatly appreciated.

[CS3] Flash Learning Interactions
I am attempting to use the Flash Learning Interactions (which are really nice) but I seem unable to change the font and size of some of the elements. Specifically, I am using the multiple choice interactivity, and I can change the font and size for the dynamic text field, but not on the submit button or the checkbox label. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks. Please let me know if I should post this elsewhere, or if you know of a different way to make a multiple choice quiz (other than the built-ins) where I can control the font and size.

Learning Interactions W/ Flash MX
I am building a Learning Object for an instructor at a college I work at. I would like to use the built-in Learning Interactions (Window >> Common Libraries >> Learning Interactions) to have some multiple choice questions and some fill-in-the blank questions for students to fill out. A select few of the students responses would be sent to the instructor via e-mail. What is an easy way I can do this? I assume I would need to store the results in my Flash movie some how, and then I'd need a external file to handle sending the e-mail to the instructor, but I'm not sure how to do these. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Interactions Flash And Html-frames

I hope this was clear enough... if not questions are welcome..

Flash Quiz Template Help - Interactions
Hi,

I have been building a Flash quiz from the second (Quiz_style2) template in Flash Professional 8, and was wondering if someone can help me with a couple of problems:

1. Is there a way that users can move (drag) a Drag instance back off of a Target instance once they have moved it there (for Drag and Drop interactions)? I want my users to be able to change just one answer rather than have the whole page reset, as currently happens if they click the "reset" button.

2. Same deal with the HotObject interactions - can these be "unclicked" or "deselected" by clicking on them again rather than resetting the whole page with the "reset" button?

Thanks for your help.

Learning Interactions And Flash Player
I am trying to place a standalone multiple choice learning interaction on my timeline. I can place it on the stage and see everything in the component inspector, (only broke apart once!) but when I test it, it appears that I cannot see any of the UI components such as the checkbox or radio buttons. Searching this forum, someone suggested previously that I had to be running Flash Player 65? I installed Flash Player 9 from this site to ensure I had the latest and it still does not work. I tried it at work, where we are running Flash Player 7 and it seems to work fine. Is it still my Flash Player? Do these interactions ONLY work with a specific player? If so I need to know so that I can specify that in the delivery. Thanks.

Flash & SQL Server Interactions Tutorial?
Does anyone know of a good FLASH & SQL Server database tutorial, book or site?

I am trying to create a dashboard on my website that will stay with the user on every page and update itself with information from a database.

[F8] Flash Learning Interactions Hotpspot Problem
Hi

I m working on flash quiz based flash learning interactions. I used flash quiz template to build it i stripped down all the interactions but hotspot. And allowed users to get the right answer with 2 tries. The problem is flash gets the first try always wrong after a reset than accepts the right answer (which is the intended one in component inspector) You can dowload the fla file from the url (www.shaytac.net/down/hotspot.fla) i would appreciate any feedback on it.

cheers

Constructing A Quiz Using Flash Learning Interactions
Hello
I am looking at the creation of a quiz using the Learning Interactions in Flash.
I noticed that when I place say a Multiple Choice question on the stage that the area which says 'Question will appear here' is a dynamic text field.
This renders the final text bitmapped. Is there any way of getting the text to look like smooth like the rest of my work?
I have tried to anti alias it for Animation and Readability but it doesn't change. And in all honesty set against the rest of my work the text looks crap.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Interactions Customization
I have created a Japanese Hirigana test using the test template within flashMX, The test can be viewed here:
http://hiriganatest.sinfree.net/HTest.html
But what i was wondering was if anyone could help me with making it possible for the user after filling in the text field provided to simply press the ENTER button to check the answer instead of having to click on the check answer button.
Thanks in advance.

Learning Interactions
Today I started playing with the learning interactions built into MX. I started a quiz template and tried to add a question. According to the Flash Help files, all you should need to do is add in a frame and drag/drop or copy/paste one of the learning interactions. When I test movie it accurately shows the number of questions, but the number right/wrong at the end doesn't add up to the right number (i.e. they add up to the previous amount of questions, not the new amount). Is there something I need to do to make Flash count the answer for this new question?

HELP - Learning Interactions
hi guys,

I've create the drag n drop from flash learning interactions and I tried to set the variable in 'Control button' from learning interactions with the code see below :

on(press)
{
var kaztest = "testing";
}

and also

onClipEvent(mousedown)
{
var kaztest = "testing";
}

but it does not work and won't update the variable.

Is the 'Control button' a button or movie clip symbol?

Can you help me pls.

Cheers.

Learning Interactions
I would like to learn about creating Learning Interactions, such as the ones provided by Flash, but my own, building components, AICC and SCORM compliance and other such related topics.

Can anyone tell me how to do that? Kidding. Actually I would like any good sources of information, books tutorials, classes, etc.

I'm not looking to use the stuff Flash has already created, but build my own stuff.

Thanks for any direction.

Learning Interactions Help
Hi.

Does anyone know how to alter the colour of the text in a multiple choice component on the quiz templates in Flash Mx?

It is black and I need it to be white.... I think it needs some action script but i'm not sure of the exact code.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Learning Interactions
Hello! I'm new to this site...hopefully someone can help!

I've spent many hours trying to solve what I think is a simple problem. Searched many resources too with no luck.

I am building an e-learning module. I am trying to use the learning interactions, particularly multiple choice and fill in the blank. In one .swf file, they work beautifully. In another, the question appears, but the boxes for fill in the blanks or the multiple choice answers do not. As well, the button doesn't change it's title (i.e. to check answer or submit). I've tried shortening the text. I've tried editing the parameters in both the symbol itself and within the main movie.

Any thoughts?

Learning Interactions
This is a general question...

Do you have to use the learning interactions for a quiz when using an LMS?

Background:
I have only used learning interactions on quizes using an LMS.

Now I have a client that wants a pool of 40 questions, 4 from each section in the course. He only wants 1 question from each section to be asked and if the user gets it wrong they get the second question from that sections pool (no score) - if they get it right they move on to the next sections pool (score) - and so on.

I don't think I can alter the learning interactions enough to do this, but a quiz built without them I can. However I am not sure that the LMS can then track the score or not.

Any insight?
THANK YOU!!!

Learning Interactions
I am using Flash MX's learning interations to develop a 12 question quiz. The client wants the quiz to be graded with the following results:

User gets > than 9 questions right, they can proceed to a certificate of completetion screen/frame, where they can print out said cert.

or

User gets < than 9 questions right, they have to try again.

How can I use ActionScript to produce these results? I have tried to apply ActionSript to the "Control Button" MC for counting purposes and it is not working. I maybe on the right track here but I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with the road map.

Thanks,
Bill

Learning Interactions
Any help appreciated on this!

Is there any way of sending results from a quiz via email to a client? They do not have a LMS. I'd like to be able to build a quiz where the user can enter their name, do the quiz, and on completion press a button and have the results emailed to their training manager. They are a small company, this quiz being intended for use by 10 people max, hence them not wishing to fork out for a proper LMS.

Database Interactions?
can anyone tell me how to get flash to interact with a database and actually work..the tut for flash forms and database integration never seems to work for me

RPG Character Interactions
Hi guys,

I've been working with the tutorial SieferTim put together a few years ago (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...mming4.htm)and while i can make both the hero and enemy show up over a tile map, they don't have any interactions with each other.

I have a simple hit test on the enemy:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(_root.guy_mc.hitTest(this)) {
_root.hp--;
}
}

but no matter what when the hero passes over the enemy his HP does not decrease. my guess is that it has to do with the layers? i've created a whole new fla without tiles and such and just the two characters and the code works there. ideas?

any help would be appreciated

Where Is The Elearning Interactions In CS4?
Can someone please tell me where the elearning interactions (quizs) is in Flash CS4.

In previous versions including CS3 it was in : Window > Common Libraries > Learning Interactions. In cs4 there is no such option, all I see under the Common Libraries option is Buttons, Classes and Sounds.

Ive also tried going through the menu: New, Templates - this option only give me the choice of advertising templates, no quizs.

I must either need new classes or Adobe have moved it.

'learning Interactions' Extension
I'm creating a quiz with the flash 'learning interactions' extension. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get a results page -- how do I tally the results? Has anyone used this extension.

Also, I want to have a limit of 3 incorrect answers, or the user would have to redo the quiz again.

Any guidance / suggestions are greatly appreciated.

FYI, the Macromedia 'learning interation' extension can be downloaded from Macromedia.com: http://www.macromedia.com/software/w...xtensions.html

Errors Using Learning Interactions
Hello all,
I'm using the Drag and Drop learning interaction in Flash MX. I managed to get it working fine thanks to the documentation. However, when I publish the movie, I get a long string of errors in the debug window, such as the following. Anyone know how to make it stop? As I say, the interaction itself is working...

Error writing accessibility information for 92Drag1.Line 1: ';' expected
92Drag1._accProps = new Object();

Error writing accessibility information for 92Drag1.Line 2: ';' expected
92Drag1._accProps.silent = false;

Error writing accessibility information for 92Drag1.Line 3: ';' expected
92Drag1._accProps.name = "Drag Object 1";

Help On Flash5 Learning Interactions
I am a newbie trying to create a multiple choice / drag & Drop type of quizzes.

I open "Common Libraries" choose learning interactions , choose type of quiz .. go thru the whole customization routine and on "Exporting Movie" I get an swf with the quiz the way I want it.

The next time I open the previously created fla, I do not see the quiz interactions but the clip parameters are as I had earlier modified. Now if I Export movie again, I get a blank swf file.

What went wrong & where.

Are you aware of any 3rd party product from where I can create such quizzes and generate swf files .

Learning Interactions - MX Version
Hoping someone has dug into the componetized version of the Learning Interactions. I've a few questions from a couple perspectives - as an OO learner and as someone who has to implement data-driven quizzes.

I'm picking up on OOP and MM's style of implmenting thier components and would like to know if the Learning Interactions would be a good case study for seeing a MVC structure implemented. The way i understand it, the FUI components are structured that way...do the LI share that approach?

Why wasn't a dataprovider bolted on? In this day and age, it seems very strange to exclude database-driven quiz construction. Unless the component is not a good implementation of OO style (hence the above question).

I've been thinking that I could locate the place where a quizzes top level arrays are stored (all questions, answers, reponses, etc) and simply write in my loadVar stuff. So i created a quiz the MM way, tested the movie and dived in. I can see stuff for each _current question but I can't find any master list.

And what's that deal about the (seemingly) infinitely nested Asset_path?

thankx

Score In Learning Interactions
Hi
How does the scoring work in Flash MX? If the quiz's last page which presents the score is not correct, where in the movie should I look to fix it?

Using the provided learning interactions Multiple Choice clip I have created a 10 questions quiz in MX. I did not break apart the movieclips for the questions but rather edited each movieclip, and dedicated a seperate movieclip (dup of the original) for each question, mainly because breaking apart was creating all kinds of other problems. The user can also access scene 2 at anytime to view references to the questions and go back to questions scene.
Now the score page does not reflect the users answers.
Any suggestions how to fix that?
Thanx

Learning Interactions: Components

I really need those radio battio components

Learning Interactions MX2004 Help
I woul really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to edit the input text template.
Thanks

Custom Learning Interactions
I am in desperate need of help. I need to customize Flash MX2004 learning interactions to do the following:

-when the user clicks on the "Done" button, I need a branching navigation to go to a page based on their result. I.e. if the drag&drop is answered correctly, it goes to the "Correct" page, if not, it goes to an "Incorrect" page. Simple feedback is not going to do the trick here.

-secondly, I am faced with multiple clicks just to get to the next page. The user clicks on the "Done" button, and then he needs to push a "Next Question" button. This is pretty annoying... I just need a single button with a single click to move things along.

Any help on how to modify the Learning Interactions in this way would be greatly appreciated.

Help Learning Interactions & ENTER Key
How can I force any of the learning interactions to submit when the enter key is pressed?

I know how to capture the key press, but not how to invoke the interaction evaluation.

[F8] Printjob With Learning Interactions
What I'm trying to accomplish is to allow the user to print all the frames in a certain section with a push of a button. E.g. one section of frames goes from frame 20 to 29; the user is on frame 25. By pushing the "print this section" button, the printer will print frames 20 through 29.

Everything works great (the right frames are printed, print area is right, static text and images print), but I have a problem with printing some learning interactions on some of the frames. The interactions just print in their initial state and they don't display the questions and feedback text in the text fields, plus the multiple choice buttons just show up as blank boxes on the paper.

Is there anyway to "start" the interactions so that they display the questions and multiple choice options? Thanks!

Preventing Mouse Interactions
Hey Guys...

I'd like to be able to pop up a window on the screen and force the user to interact with that box, BEFORE they can do anything else.

Unfortunately, even though I put up an object over top of all of the other objects on the screen, the objects that are now hidden can still receive mouse input. Currently I have to assign an onRelease handler to the movieclip, but that makes the mouse cursor change to a finger over the entire object!!!

So, I'd like to be able to place a movieclip across the entire screen that blocks ALL mouse inputs from the movieclips behind it. However, I don't want the cursor to treat this backdrop as a button and change to the "click here" finger.

Movie Clips Interactions
Ahoj!

I have a simple question...

I have several movies clips... and they are one inside the other...
i need to make the last one communicate with the first one.

it is smth alike this: movie clip 1 contain movie clip 2 and movie clip 2 contain movie clip 3...

now i need a command alike this: (from the 3rd movie clip)
gotoandstop (1)
but that with it, the clip will move right to the photogram 1 of the move clip 1

i dont know if it is clear...

thanks however....
