Hi. Just a question. Instead of numbers, can the answer be typed into the field (words) ??? Thanks. If this is possible, i’m interested to buy this item. Looks cool.

You mean ‘two’ instead of 2 and ‘one thousand one hundred and fifteen’ instead of 1115? Sure – you’d have to add a translation from those strings of words to numbers (for internal comparison) though. Depending on how free you want the users to be in filling in those words, this could be non-trivial..

No, sorry. I meant Q: “How are you?” A: “Good” (good could be correct or wrong answer) Thanks.

Ah oke, that makes it easier to implement. Yeah, that’s definitely possible – it’s currently not part of the file, though. I can add it for you on a freelance basis, or you could have a go yourself :)

That’s cool then! If I’dd purchase this item 2 times, that would pay for your help to add this option ?

It can be also resized and realigned, right?

Purchasing the item on here grands you usage licenses. If you want me to make adjustments to any files on a freelance basis, please contact me directly via my profile. Generally these kind of customisations cost more than a usage licenses though (as licenses are sold as stock, while customisations are.. custom).

Sure, resizing and re-aligning is also possible :)

Hey i have never coded or stuff before. What programs do i need to edit the quiz in? and is it easy to edit the questions and add pictures to them? i know css and html would this help?

Joost

Editing the questions and images can be done in any text editor – Notepad would work just fine, but for easier editing I recommend something like Notepad++ :) It’s formatted in XML , which is very comparable to HTML (much simpler in fact).

When you want to edit the structure of the quiz (bigger edits than simply changing questions or images, stuff like adding new features), you’d need Adobe Flash to edit the .fla. Alternatively, there are some open-source tools out there but I have no experience with any. You could even download a free trial of Adobe Flash from the Adobe site ;)

Okay and do the images i upload to them, all go to the same size automatically or do i need to crop them in Photoshop to all the same size?

Joost

I suggest making the images the right size in Photoshop before adding them. Not only does that prevent Flash from having to resize it, it ensures your quality is preserved.

Frankly I’m not sure if it automatically resizes – could be a design choice, as you might not want a full-size image sometimes :)

Ohk thanks may i ask what size images you used for your first question with the colors? or is that the auto size ti puts in? and jpeg images are the highest quality images right?

Joost

The images I used in the preview are 250px by 180x in size.

JPG ’s are not per definition the highest quality images – it depends on the level of compression you use when you save the file. A PNG is definitely lossless though, but can be a tad bigger. A general rule of thumb is if you’re using an icon or graphic that has sharp contrasts, use PNG , but if you’re using a natural photograph or a big image that would otherwise have a too great filesize, use JPG . You can fiddle with the percentage of compression – obviously a higher compression causes a smaller filesize but also a less good-looking image :)

How can I translate the text? Everything is stacked on top off everything so it’s near to impossible for me with little experience with flash/actionscript :)

Heeeeeelp :p

Joost

Yeah, navigating the movieclips via the stage is a bit tedious. I recommed getting to them via the Library. You can access that in Flash using the Ctrl+L shortcut or in the Window | Library menu. Kirupa once wrote a how-to

Can it support two or three corrcet answer?

Joost

I’m afraid that’s currently not possible. The file is documented quite extensively, though, so you could consider adding it yourself. Alternatively, I could add it for you on a freelance basis – if you need my help, send me a message via my profile

I purchased the xml quiz and cannot get it to work on my website. I put it in dreamweaver and it does not refer to the questions. donandjuan@comcast.net
Joost

Are you sure it has access to the XML file with the question in it? It needs to be in the same directory as the swf file. Send me an email via the form on my profile and I’ll have a look :)
