Radio buttons

[proust]

Hi!
I've used Director for some time but have never used the radio buttons. We have to make some interactive games for primary children and one of the activities will be a multiple choice with radio buttons, which then gives a result at the end of how many the user got right.

Any ideas where I should begin??
Cheers

yeah, step 1, its for kids so dont use the crappy little ones that are part of the toolset.

If you have used Director for a while you should have no problems with the scripts for it, its just tracking a simple variable and changing the cast members of the ones that are not turned on.

your check button just looks at the current value of the variable and adding that value to another variable.

If you want to get fancy so you can say what questions they got wrong just use a list and store each question as a 0 or 1, then you can say, you got question X correct/wrong. Good for tracking if things are wrong with your software, if every student gets question 5 wrong them maybe your wording is bad.
