Hello, folks.

I have a project I just started working on and I am looking for some opinions on the best approach to it, even if the approach isn't Flash/Actionscript. For the reason that I might end up using Actionscript or some other program, forgive me if I posted in the wrong thread. If I use flash, the computer I will use has Flash 8 Pro installed on it.

First off, while I am not any sort of code guru, I do have a passing knowledge of various computer languages (Javascript, VBA, HTML, blah blah blah).

Now, I have a project that is part poll/part survey. I have a batch of pictures (63 to be exact, but thats irrelevant) and for each picture, I wish to have 4 choices, preferably using radio boxes. After the user selects one, it will show the precentage of other usrs who have given each response (such as, "34% chose A, 33% chose B" and so forth. The user then can go on to the next question/survey/poll.

Adding other "features" is also something that might be done, which is where flash comes into play, with th chance of using sounds possibly.

I saw that there is a quiz template with flash 8, but I wasn't able to modify it to fit what I wanted to do. It probably was something simple for m to figure out, but I wasn't able to.

So, to get to the point of this post, 1) Anyone have any suggstions on options other then flash that might do the job as well/better in a short period of time and 2) If I use flash, anyone have any suggestions for any websites/tutorials/other refernce data that might help me along?

While I am not in a extremely major rush, the goal is for the project to be done in 2 weeks. If it isn't done, it won't be a huge deal, but just a key part of a website will be MIA.

Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
 
You're basically talking about online poll. For the front end you can use Flash or HTML, but the most important thing is the back end: you'll need a server script.
