Hey guys,

I'm building a quiz and have almost all of it figured out except for this:

function checkAnswer(ans:String) {
clipHolder.attachMovie("result_mc","clip",0);
clipHolder.clip.title_txt.text = "Question #"+n_curr+":";
clipHolder.clip.correct_txt.htmlText = a_xml[n_q].answer;
clipHolder.clip.pigscore.text = n_right;
if (correct == ans) {
clipHolder.clip.words.gotoAndStop(2);
clipHolder.clip.piggybank.gotoAndPlay("coindrop");
n_right++;
} else {
clipHolder.clip.words.gotoAndStop(1);
}
n_q++;
n_curr++;
completedText();
}

I bought the quiz from FlashDen and have been able to modify it pretty well except for the part in bold. I've added a movie clip that's suppose to play if the answer is right. I have a stop(); on the movie clip's first frame. I added a label to it's second frame called "coindrop". Any ideas why the clip won't play?

Thanks!

I thought you could have just typed in the frame number instead of adding a frame label. That way, you know that it will definitely work (well, for me anyway).

I tried that first and it didn't work so I tried the label. Neither work : /

Well, I'm stumped. I'm not very good at Flash and LiveSwif and whatever else (even though I'm making an iPhone in Flash :S)

[ashgotti]

I'm stumped too .

Thanks anyways.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Could we see the .fla? It is probably a problem with your parents/ children placements for the movieclips, but I can't be sure as I can't actually transverse the movieclip orders.

I have attached the FLA. Thanks!

Did you zip the file, or just change the extention? I am having errors opening it with both flash and winzip...

I'm on a mac and just right clicked the .fla and hit compress. Does this one work?

Incase it doesn't work, I've uploaded it here:

It took a while, but I did find a way that it seems to work (at least on my computer).

Use this as your check answer function:

function checkAnswer(ans:String) {
	clipHolder.attachMovie("result_mc","clip",0);
	clipHolder.clip.piggybank.stop();
	clipHolder.clip.title_txt.text = "Question #"+n_curr+":";
	clipHolder.clip.correct_txt.htmlText = a_xml[n_q].answer;
	clipHolder.clip.pigscore.text = n_right;
	if (correct == ans) {
		clipHolder.clip.words.gotoAndStop(2);
		clipHolder.clip.piggybank.play();
		n_right++;
	} else {
		clipHolder.clip.words.gotoAndStop(1);
	}
	
	n_q++;
	n_curr++;
	completedText();
}

and remove all the actionscript from the m_piggybank movieclip, then it seems to work.

I would upload the .fla, but I am on CS4 and not sure what you are using so it may be incompatible...

Hope that helps.

Hi! thanks for the help. It looks like its working! I don't think I would have been able to figure it out myself.

[BetaWar]

No problem. Just glad to have been of assistance
