Multiple Choice

[mdwatkins]

I am looking for any modifications of the multiple choice quiz component that would make it a bit more robust. I have a AS2 version that is close to what I need but would prefer working with a modified comonent of AS3.

Hi there,
i never used it before. Where can i se it please ?

[mdwatkins]

It is in Menu - Window > Common Libraries > Learning Interactions > Multiple Choice

It appears to be about the same as it was in Flash 8 - You drag the instance to the stage then break it apart with the Modify Break Apart command then use the component inspector to edit the parameters.

I have a different scheme for the operation of a learning quiz that I have been using for over 20 years. (I did my first e-learning presentation on an Apple ][ not even the ][+ with 56K memory but the one with 48K.)

First the template should read from a file and multiple questions should be input into this file 30 is a good number since I generally put about 20 questions in a file.

I always make the first answer correct. The template should randomize the answers when it runs.

The template should run at 800 x 600.

The question field should display and there should be the ability to display 6 lines of text.

The student should click on the answer he believes to be correct and instant feedback should be given whether that selection is correct or not.

if correct a graphic page of 800 x 600 should appear or a scrollable text field should appear.

If incorrect the student should be given the opportunity to try again.

The additional information now appears whether he gets it right or wrong.

If incorrect this question is flagged and after all of the questions have been answered it is asked again. The student must select the correct answer from a reshuffled answer array the first try to proceed from the quiz.

Thanks for the interest. I am VERY impressed with your site and your skills. I thought you would get tired of hearing "Great Job" from all of the files I looked at this morning. I loved the 3d slideshow and the clock. I have been unable to get a clock made in AS3. All of these files are outstanding examples for someone who is an expert or has just started with AS3.

hmmm...
it seems i can't use it wth Actionscript 3.0 settings cos Flash CS3 gives me this advice:
WARNING: The component 'CheckBox' requires ActionScript 2.0.
WARNING: The component 'Button' requires ActionScript 2.0.

That is so strange :confused:

Anyway, it's really nice idea to build it as FlepStudio's free utility.
And building it with the features you wrote ;) :D

u know... i should like to keep on writing here all the steps that i will do to create that.

What do you think...

[mdwatkins]

Interesting. I don't get it. I tried it at work and it worked just fine no errors. Now I try it at home and I get the same error messages that you report.

:confused:Very strange indeed.

It would be a good idea to build it though Whether as a component or not. I have a running AS2 multiple choice quiz that uses an XML file to store the data. Would you like to take a look at it? It may give some initial structure to the FlepStudio's e-learning module.

Hi Mark,
that's a nice idea.
If you could give me your multiple choice quiz i can convert it to AS 3.0 ( if it's not a component ) and why not... add some option more :)

[mdwatkins]

What email address would you like for me to use? I think you have mine from when I registered.

You can use the form of this forum or you can use:
info[noSpam]flepstudio.org

[mdwatkins]

did the files get to you alright? The XML file should be easily converted to the CS3 E4X implementation of XML. You are probably familiar with senocular.com but if not there are a number of class resources there that may save some codeing. It was mentioned as a good resource in the Lynda AS3 tutorial I have been working with.
