Xml flash quiz template free

The changes are in bold below:. Keep the remaining code intact except, make sure that the XML file is the new file: quiztf. If you run the movie now, it should show this:. Now, you can still click the third and fourth answers.

That's not good, we need to make it so that:. To do 1 , we need to convert the those A, B, C, D letters on the screen to symbols, so that we can hide them when necessary. Let's do the A:. Hide the Buttons layer first. Select the A shape or text - depending on how you made the letter , then Convert to Symbol. Name it A. Furthermore, once you see the sample XML file used on this tutorial, it will be quite obvious on how this particular XML data is structured. I will also explain how to modify the data.

Here's the XML file used on this tutorial: quiz. This file can be opened using a text editor to edit and view. Note: XML file is a plain-text file. If you are using Wordpad or MSWord, you must save the file as a plain text file.

A portion of the file is shown below I only show 3 questions here, the file has about 11 questions :. You can then change the question and the answers. For example, above, the 4th answer is the correct answer. You might want to make sure that the questions and the answers are not too long, or they might not fit the Flash movie. For now, you must put 4 answers per question. Later, we will see how this can be changed.

Additionally, it's recommended to use the special notation for these symbols these are also known as Name Entities :. For example, below, I added a new question at the end; replaced the 2nd question, and changed the title.

Put a frame label called: " LoadData " on the frame 1 of Labels layer. Then, put an image or something on the frame 1 of Bgr layer. This will be the preloader screen. We will need to have Flash open the file and read the data. Here's the code that reads the file. This code needs to be put on the Actions layer, frame 1.

Flash will notify us when the file is completely loaded by calling a function called " onLoad ". At that time, we still need to parse the file or the data will not be usable.

We override the onLoad function with onQuizData. This means that when the file is loaded, the onQuizData function will be called. The stop action at the ends tells Flash to stop running because I do not want to continue until the XML file is loaded. So when does the code continues? This will happen when the XML data is "completely" loaded. So, let's assume that the data is loaded. We're now entering the onQuizData function. Let's go back and examine the structure of the XML file above again.

It will be nice if we can reproduce the structure in the Flash application. Double click the picture to open it in your default graph editor. You can adjust the color of pictures, as well as fix red-eye and crop out unwanted parts of an image. From the Gallery menu, select Properties or use "Properties" button on the toolbar.
