Dynamic flash quiz from database

[mhrmz]

Hi, i'm new here and also new in flash.. my question is

1. can I create a multiple choice flash quiz and linked the database (access, word, etc) containing my question

2. And from the result of the quiz can I generate graph and display it in the flash itself?

are there any actionscript involved?

Can you? Sure... But you'll have to define the scope, workflow and toolset before you begin. Flash can't connect to Access and Word isn't really a database. So, how are you going to store the data.

A text file could work, though it's messy. An XML file would be better (it's easier to parse). Working with PHP and MySQL is even more powerful, yet.


And from the result of the quiz can I generate graph and display it in the flash itself?
It's all within the realm the possibility if that's what you mean. It all depends on the level of coding you're willing/able to do.


are there any actionscript involved?
Yes! It's all going to be coded in ActionScript.

This is a bit more advanced than cut-and-pasting ActionScript. If it's a time sensitive project, you might consider hiring a developer. If you want some recommendations, send me a PM.
