Flash MX Fill the Blank Quiz for Interaction Learning

This tutorial is for learning how to do the Fill in the answer type of quizzes for Interaction Learning movies in Flash 5 and Flash MX Pro.

First thing to do is make a static text field with the question in it.
Then make a Input Text field with the variable name of input (and chuck a border around it).



Make another Dynamic Text Field with the variable name of "comment" for the response to the input by the punters.



Make a button and place this code in its action window:

	on (release){
	if(_root.input == "Canberra" || _root.input == "canberra")
		{
			_root.comment = "Correct";
		}
	else
		{
			_root.comment = "Wrong";
		}
	}

The punters put their answer in the input text field and the code in the button determines whether the answer is correct and puts feedback into the comment field.

You can also use the syntax of :
_root.instanceName.text = "something or other";
So, in the above example you could name the textfield instances input_txt and comment_txt.
And then you could write :
_root.comment_tx.text = " Correct!";
or :

if(_root.input_txt.text=="Canberra){
	_root.comment_txt.text = "Correct";
}
