Randomized questions from a question bank 1

[bransflakes]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone either knows how or can point me in the direction of finding out how to make learning interactions that will randomly pull from a question bank within Flash 8. A step-by-step guide would be best, but anything would be appreciated.

Thank you

BOY ARE YOU OPENING A CAN OF WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am certainly no GURU, but I've done this before. Half of the fun is figuring it out, but to point you in the right direction..........1.Use XML to build your question bank
2. Load the XML into Flash 3. Declare an array that holds your XML nodes 4. Use the MATH class to randomly select a number that corresponds to a numbered XMLNode in your Array. 5. Create an empty text box that displays your XML node as text. The real step-by-step would be HUGE!!!!! Like I said, I'm no GURU, but I'm sure that most would agree that this is probably the best way to do it. There are other ways, but you'll increase your file size (As far as I know). I hope this at least helps a little! Let me know!

Thanks very much for the reply digitalMercenary. Turns out, for ease of use, we are going to use Captivate, which has that function built in. So that solves my problem. But again, thank you very much for the help. I really appreciate it. Sorry you went to all of that trouble. Should provide a handy guide for someone in the future though. =)
