Help on quiz/game

Question

So I haven't really coded anything in actionscript for over a year so I am pretty rusty.  However, as the school year is approaching I came up with a cool idea for a game/quiz for my students.  I would like to be able to create a quiz like the one at this link: http://espn.go.com/free-online-games/trivia/namemlbplayer
Any help on how to get started or get this going would be great.  Thanks.

Answer 1

ok, so, I Finally got around to finishing this and am having problems with the scoring feature.  here is my code
var correctNum:int=0;
var questionIndex:int=00;
var question_tf:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(question_tf);
question_tf.multiline=true;
question_tf.width=300;
question_tf.x=10;
question_tf.y=100;
var answer_tf:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(answer_tf);
answer_tf.type="input";
answer_tf.border=true;
answer_tf.width=200;
answer_tf.multiline=false;
answer_tf.x=350;
answer_tf.y=100;
var questionA:Array=["the distance a number is from zero", "the number of square units needed to cover a surface", "the length of the outer boundary of a circle", "a whole number greater than 1 that has more than two factors", "the distance across a circle through its center", "a mathematical sentence that includes an equal sign", "shows how many times a number is to be multiplied", "mathematical sentence containing numbers and at least one operation", "the numbers you multiply together to get another number", "a table for organizing a set of data that shows the number or pieces of data that fall within given intervals or categories", "the greatest number that is a factor of two or more numbers", "a positive or negative whole number and zero", "the least of the nonzero common multiples of a group of numbers", "the average of a set of numbers", "the number in the middle of a set of data when the data is arranged in numerical order", "the value in a set of data that appears most often", "the product of a number and a whole number", "addition, subtraction, multiplication, division", "the rules to follow when more than one operation is used in a numerical expression, PEMDAS", "the distance around a closed geometric figure", "a whole number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors, 1 and itself", "the ratio of the number of ways a certain event can occur to the number of possible outcomes", "an equation that shows 2 ratios are equivalent", "the distance from the center to any point on a circle", "the difference between the highest and the lowest number in a data set", "a comparison of two numbers by division", "a number that can be written as a fraction", "the steepness of a line", "a rate with a denominator of 1", "a symbol that represents a quantity in an algebraic equation"];
var answerA:Array=["absolute value", "area", "circumference", "composite", "diameter", "equation", "exponent", "expression", "factor", "frequency table", "greatest common factor", "integer", "least common multiple", "mean", "median", "mode", "multiple", "operations", "order of operations", "perimeter", "prime", "probability", "proportion", "radius", "range", "ratio", "rational number", "slope", "unit rate", "variable"];
var numberA:Array=[];
for(var i:int=0;i<questionA.length;i++){
numberA.push(i);
shuffle(numberA);
submitBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,submitF);
nextQuestionF();
function nextQuestionF():void{
answer_tf.text="";
question_tf.text=questionA[numberA[questionIndex]];
function submitF(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(answer_tf.text.toLowerCase()==answerA[questionIndex]){
  correctNum++;
questionIndex++;
if(questionIndex<questionA.length){
  nextQuestionF();
} else {
  endQuizF();
function endQuizF():void {
removeChild(answer_tf);
question_tf.text="You answered "+correctNum+" questions correctly and "+(questionA.length-correctNum)+" questions incorrectly";
function shuffle(a:Array){
var p:int;
var t:*;
var ivar:int;
for (ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
  p=Math.floor((ivar+1)*Math.random());
  t = a[ivar];
  a[ivar] = a[p];
  a[p] = t;
The scoring does not work.  I can't find the problem.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
