Hello all,
I 'm building a test for children with learning dissabilities in Director. The children see three images and from 4 other images they have to choose the image that fits in. For instance they see an image of a man, an image of a woman, a image of a boy and they have to click on an image of a girl to answer the question correctly.
The people who are going to work with the test want to manually change the content of the test until the test is "perfect". That means the want to have the possibilty to change/add/delete images. They also want to to be able to change the number of questions, the content of the questions and the corresponding answers.
My plan is like this: I have a directory with all the images
and they have names i can use in my scripts. Let's say There are a 100 images. They are called "001.gif" to "100.gif". In an external .txt file there is an array of all the questions and their content:
[1(001,043,089)(055,022,052,011)(c=022)]
in question 1 you have three images that together form the "question" and four that form the "answer". The correct answer is 022(.gif).
The problem is that the application not only has to record if the answer is correct but also has to record the time between viewing and answering. After the test the results are put into a .txt file using FileIO.
I'm worried that the loading of the external files will take too much time and that makes the test less accurate off course. I don't have much experience in using external files in Director and was wondering if someone had a simular problem and if you could advise me on how to set this up.
Thank you very much in advance,
Andries van der Leij
