Combination question

Question

Hi all
I wonder if someone can help me with this.
I have an XML database in the following format:
-- Main Questions (Level0)
Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4
Each of these questions load another set of questions as follows: (Level1)
<subQ>SubQ1
              SubQ2
               SubQ3
               SubQ4</SubQ>
Once the user clicks on any of the subquestions, the question is gone and the others rewritten. For example, if the user clicks on SubQ1 the output is as follows: (level2)
SubQ2 (re-written)
SubQ3(re-written)
SubQ4(re-written)
Or of the user clicks on SubQ2 the output should be as follows:
SubQ1(re-written)
SubQ3(re-written)
SubQ4(re-written)
The re-written questions will be specified in the XML databases as follows:
<q1> SubQ1(re-written)</q2>
<q2>SubQ2(re-written)</q2>
<q3>SubQ3(re-written)</q3>
<q4>SubQ4(re-written)</q4>
So far my code is as follows:
global 
level1,gmain
on 
mouseDown (me)pointClicked =
_mouse.mouseLoc
thisSprite =
sprite(me.spriteNum)currentMember = thisSprite.
member
lineNum = thisSprite.
pointToLine(pointClicked)lineText = currentMember.
line[lineNum]
-- level 0 (Main Questions)
If 
level1 = VOID and lineN)um = 1 then  
member 
("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.MainQuestions["!CHARDATA"]level1=
"a"
   else
-- level1 (Sub Questions of main questions)
 if 
level1 = "a" AND lineNum = 1 then  
member 
("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.SubQuestions1["!CHARDATA"] --the subquestions of question1  
level1=
"two"
 else 
if 
level1 = "b" AND lineNum = 1 then  
member 
("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q2["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q3["!CHARDATA"] & & gmain[1].Architecture.Q4["!CHARDATA"] 
level1= "three"
end if 
end if 
end if 
end 
Going from the main questions to the subquestions (level1=VOID -> Level1="a") is easy. However, When the user clicks on any of the subquestions (and given that he can click only one question/time) its extremely tedious to write all the combinations by hand. For example, if the subquestions are 4 the last part of the above code should read as follows. Since we want the clicked question eliminated, we end up with 4 combinations of three numbers/questions.
if level1 = "b" AND lineNum = 1 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q2["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q3["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q4["!CHARDATA"]
if level1 = "b" AND lineNum = 2 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q3["!CHARDATA"] &gmain[1].Architecture.Q4["!CHARDATA"]
combination = "two"
if level1 = "b" AND lineNum = 3 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q2["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q4["!CHARDATA"]
combination = "three"
if level1 = "b" AND lineNum = 4 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q2["!CHARDATA"] & & gmain[1].Architecture.Q3["!CHARDATA"]
If you want to go one level down you will end up with 6 combinations (2 x 2 x 2) of numbers/questions as follows
if level1 = "c" AND lineNum = 1 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q3_1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q4_1["!CHARDATA"]
if level1 = "c" AND lineNum = 2 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q2_1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q4_1["!CHARDATA"]
if level1 = "c" AND lineNum = 3 then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q2_1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q3_1["!CHARDATA"]
if level1 = "c" AND lineNum = 2 AND combination = "two" then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q1_1["!CHARDATA"] &gmain[1].Architecture.Q4_1["!CHARDATA"]
if level1 = "c" AND lineNum = 3 AND combination = "two" then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q1_1["!CHARDATA"] &gmain[1].Architecture.Q3_1["!CHARDATA"]
if level1 = "c" AND lineNum = 3 AND combination = "three" then
member ("container").text = gmain[1].Architecture.Q1["!CHARDATA"] & gmain[1].Architecture.Q2["!CHARDATA"]
As this is a rather sloppy way of writing code is there any other way to do it?
Many thanks for any help!!!

Answer 1

Thanks. I tried manual setting on 3-4-4-8 but the computer will just locked up during the memory detection. It won't even go into BIOS setup when I hit delete after a reboot. Had to remove the 256MB pair, boot again and set back to auto. Then after making sure windows could be loaded before I put back the 256MB pair. All 4 sticks still running on 166MHz now.
Here's the background story:
The rig was originally running 2x 512MB double-sided CL2.5 RAM for the past 2 years. One of the 512MB stick was spoilt when I added in another 2x 256MB single-side from an older computer. Exchanged the 2x 512MB CL2.5 double-sided from the TwinMOS service center for 2x 512MB CL3 single-side RAM. I can confirm that the motherboard has no problem working with
(1) 2x 512MB CL2.5 double-side; or
(2) 2x 512MB CL3 single-side; or
(3) 2x 256MB CL2.5 single-side
at 200MHz separately (all TwinMOS). To reiterate the problem, (2) and (3) together can now only run at 166MHz instead of 200MHz as indicated by the manual.
Isn't all voltages for DDR RAM standardised 2.5V?
Not sure what's the actual 12V amperage, but it's rated at 17A for both rails:

The 512MB pair makes a world of difference compared to 256MB pair.
