Using Random Function

[darksirius]

Hi everyone, I'm very very new to Director MX but yet I need to finish a multimedia interactive project. I was wondering if there is a function of how to make question appearing in text mode randomly. If it can be made then can anyone tell me how to do the script. Thanx

Director MX? This is the Dreamweaver forum. To display 'random' questions you would:
First: Store the questions in a database - along with an ID field for each question.

Second: Generate a random number between the min and max numbers of your id field. The syntax varies depending on if you are using asp, php, or ColdFusion.

Third: Query the DB pulling the record with the ID you have randomly selected and then display it.

If you have no experience with dynamic data then I recommend you buy a book as a general tutorial is too complicated to be covered on this forum.
