Can I do this with Flash

Question

I have Adobe Presenter 7 that came with Acrobat 9 Pro
Extended. I have exported a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation to
Presenter with a quiz in the PPT. That works just like I need it to
work. The problem is having access to SCORM software. My work
around was to have the quiz results page to display the current
date. That works. Then while in PPT I created a macro and an Action
button that would allow the user to put their name on the result
page. When the PPT was published to presenter the Action button
doesn't work. So my question is this. If I bought Flash would I be
able to work with the Presenter published program and create a way
to get the user's name on the quiz result page? I would also like
to be able to have a button that would, when click, only print out
the result page with the results, current date, and the user name?
Thank you.

Answer 1

The easiest method for you would be to use the following
components:
TextInput - this is an input text field
Button - would be the submit button
To put it together:
Make a new Actionscript 2 flash file. AS2 is much easier to
work with for a beginner, and is fairly easy for this purpose.
Drag your instance of the TextInput and Button to the stage,
and position them. Add some text for instructions.
Select the TextInput, go to the properties panel and give it
an instance name (the field under the drop-down) - something like
"myInput"
Do the same with the Button ("myBtn")
click on the first frame in the timeline, and go to the
Actions panel. You will know you are entering actions properly if
the panel says "Actions - Frame" in the tab. Enter the following
scripts:
myBtn.onRelease = function(){
//this is where you perform whatever actions you need.
trace(myInput.text);
Next, Control::Test Movie, enter some text in the input box,
and click the button. The text you entered into the input box will
trace out into the Output tab of Flash.
I do not know the script you need to get the text from the
flash out to the Presenter, but this will get you started.
