Help computing scores on Trivia game

Question

I need to compute scores and would also like to notify users on their progress
There are 5 questions , 20pts each = 100pts;
I built two arrays (rightAnswers will compute scores and completeAnswers will give them their progress :
var rightAnswers:Array = new Array(next1_mc, next2_mc, next3_mc, next4_mc, next5_mc);
var completeAnswers:Array = new Array(submit_btn, submit2_btn, submit3_btn, submit4_btn, submit5_btn);
I know I need to set them both at 0 something like:
for (var i:int=0; i<=4;i++)
so I think the  function for score is
function computeScore() {
     for(var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    var rightAnswer:int = rightAnswers[0] + rightAnswers[1] + rightAnswers[2] + rightAnswers[3]+ rightAnswers[4];
   scorefinal_txt.text="Your score is " + int((rightAnswers[0] + rightAnswers[1] + rightAnswers[2] + rightAnswers[3]+ rightAnswers[4]) * 20);
so I think the function for the FIRST progress_txt (twhich their will be 5 for each question completed)  <<clueless on this one
function computeProgress() {
            for(var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            var completeAnswers:Array = new Array(submit_btn, submit2_btn, submit3_btn, submit4_btn, submit5_btn);
            progress_txt.text = "You've completed " +int(( correctAnswers[0] + correctAnswers[1] + correctAnswers[2]  + correctAnswers[3]  +
            correctAnswers[4]) - -i) + " questions out of 5";
can someone push me in the right direction or a site to help research

Answer 1

if you just want to track score and current question, you don't need arrays.  just use a variable to store their score (initialized at 0) and a variable to store the current question (initialized at 1 when the question is displayed).
after they answer a question either increment the score variable or not.
when they advance to the next question, increment the current question variable.
