Randomising passwords in a Flash quiz

[robertaidy]

Is it possible to randomise passwords within a the flash programme. Basically I have added a dynamic text field to my results page that shows a password if the test is passed. If possible I would like to randomise the password rather than just having one. If it is possible how would I do it, any help would be gratfully recieved.

Kenneth thanks however is there a way i can control these passwords. I need to be able to use the password to enter a new captivate screen, so i need to know what has been produced and how to link them, Thanks

You'll need a database and a server side script such as PHP to store passwords and provide look up functionality, unless you want to hard code the list of passwords in the SWF itself - then anyone can decompile it and find what the passwords are!

Kenneth thabnks again and now I am going to be a pain in the proverbial and ask how do i hard code and randomise them, Thanks

If you want to hard code then you can't actually generate random passwords because if you do you have to store them in somewhere (namely in a database).

May be you can create an Array with say 100 passwords, pick one randomly and give it to the user. When a user type in the password you can check it against the pool of passwords in the Array to see if it exists.
