This quiz is a well designed product, attracting far more traffic than the text-only quiz I used for several years. People like to see answers in the form of images, not just words. They particularly like to see pictures of other people or whatever is the quiz subject.

Knowing this, I searched for this type of quiz component at dozens of websites, examining over a hundred different quizes. Only a few allow images to be shown. Of those, this quiz is the only one (other than a non-modifiable one priced at $200) offering four essential features: images with answers, score tally, correct answer identification, and question randomization.

Yes, I know, those last two features are not included in the basic quiz sold above, as several commenters observed. In the author’s response, however, he offers to customize the quiz for anyone contacting him at href="http://www.frankieboywonder@hotmail.com" http://www.frankieboywonder@hotmail.com">rel="nofollow">http://www.frankieboywonder@hotmail.com . I took him up on that offer. He added both of those missing features at a very modest cost. Because he now has the quiz upgraded, anyone contacting him at this point likely will find the customization available for even less than what I paid.

With or without the customization, this quiz component must be the product of an obsessive-compulsive mind. The actionscript coding, for example, is elegant and clean—the equal of anything I purchased here at FlashDen or from my other favorite component stores (e.g., Flashloaded, Tufat, and JumpEye). Moreover, the author’s responsiveness to my email questions exceeded any customer service I experienced elsewhere.

As to the quiz animation, again there are many signs of obsessive attention to detail. I’m referring to those cute little dips and curtseys done by the image, answer text, question, and other graphic elements. I like the way they shift and jump about on the quiz stage because it helps to hold a viewer’s attention.

The quiz package came with an xml document I easily modified in a text editor. I just typed in the questions and short answers together with names of image files, which are JPGs and PNGs in my case. Overall, then, this is one of my favorite flash components. I wish I could provide a link to this customized quiz - my new webpage toy - but I’m using it on the intranet of a large federal agency in Washington DC.

I like the quiz, easy to customize. One question, have you ever had trouble getting it to show up on a pc running Internet Explorer?

I must comment since I purchased this and Frank could not have been more helpful regarding customization. The response was the best and the file works wonderfully!

I will be watching for more files from him!!

I have a question. Will this refresh if multiple people play the quiz. I don’t really need to keep track of the score. I’m afraid if only one person starts to play the game and gets to question 3 then stops the next person that loads the url will start at question 3.

Can you help? I need this ASAP – Thanks

Thanks all.

I hope to be working on a new version of this that incorporates all the features that individuals have requested and a few more!

I am targeting the end of August for that but in the mean time please email me if you have suggestions or need support on this.

Can the quiz layout size be increased easily, along with the multiple choice images? I really like the look of this quiz, but I need to be sure I can increase the size to fit my webpage better.

Also, I know a little actionscripting so I was wondering if it would be easy to add in a 4th multiple choice image in?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

Hello!

I have a problem with the quiz, because I would like to show how many questions I answered correct, on the last page. When you answer last question the “counter” total_mc disapears.

Therefore I set the total_mc._visible = true;—But the problems is, when you answer the last question it’s not counting or adds to the total_mc.

Can anyone please help, or give a hint Thanks!!

Hello Wurtz.

Thanks for pointing this out. At the moment you’ll see a line in the3 checkAnswer function:

quizObj.data.correct = numCorrectSoFar + 1;

This means that at any stage you can access the number of correct answers by using quizObj.data.correct.

Looking back I should change this to:

numCorrectSoFar++; quizObj.data.correct = numCorrectSoFar;

As it probably makes more sense to update that var as soon as possible. Anyway, hope this helps.

Sorry, the AS3 version will be another month or two as I want to rewrite the video player I have first.

I want to use te quiz multiple times, but now i have a problem.

Hope you can answer my question. :)

Hello.

The problem here is that the sharedObject used to hold the user’s progress is being loaded by both instances of your quiz.

If monitoring the progress is not required then you should turn that feature off, otherwise you need to add some code to generate a random name for each sharedObject.

Please email me at frankieboywonder@hotmail.com if you require further assistance.
