Next we can add actions on the green buttons, so that they set variables when they are pressed. This can be achieved with the following action code:

on (press, release) {  ../:question_select="q1"; }

 

which sets the questions_select variable on the parent movie. Each of the buttons then set the question_select variable. Next we can add two new functions to the main action script. The get_question() function sets the question for the array of questions, and the answered() function is called when an answer is select. These are given next:

function get_question() {  i = random(no_q-1);  question_text = correct;  question.title = question_titles[i];  question.q1 = question_q1[i];  question.q2 = question_q2[i];  question.q3 = question_q3[i];  question.q4 = question_q4[i]; } function answered() {  if (question_select == question_ans[i]) {   correct++;  }  question_text = correct;  question_select = ""; }

These functions can be called from an action script with:

if (question_select<>"") {  answered();  get_question(); }

which selects if an answer has been selected. If it has the answered() function is called, followed by the get_question() function. The new movie is:

The background still looks a bit boring, thus we can quickly insert a clip-art image, and set an alpha value of 80%:
