    Default Quiz Help!!!

    Somebody please help, I'm a poor graphics student that has somehow found
    himself having to do an assessment involving Macromedia Director. I'm
    completely lost, looked at almost every Director site I could find and the
    lecturer is a complete A-Hole.

    I have to make a basic multiple choice quiz, where 4 possible answeres, 5
    questions in total and two points for each question answered correctly. A
    wrong answer should have no bearing on the score, it should just ,ove to the
    next question without effecting the score.

    From what I have read there seems to be an easier way to do it; using a text
    field to generate the questions. However the way I have to do it is, by
    clicking on the correct answer (a button beside the text answer) it moves to
    the next question and caculates 2 points, visible on an on-screen text
    field. My lecturer keeps refering to something known as gScore???

    And help would be much appreciated.

    the 'g' prefix in gScore suggests it's a global variable that would hold
    the running tally ( though the value could be as well fould in the
    field displaying it )


    if you have a frame label over each question, with a "go to the frame"
    looking score script at each question:


    --- right button script:

    on mouseUp
    global gScore
    gScore = gScore + 2
    put gscore into field "scoreDisplay" -- a member name
    go next
    end


    --- wrong button script (no score change):

    on mouseUp
    go next
    end


    The marker following the last question whould show "Done" page
