Interactivity in Director

Question

Hello everyone. I am a teacher and at the moment am using
Director to develop English learning materials for different
classes. I just want to know how to design questions that give
marks to students after typing or choosing from different answers.
I came across highly interactive stuff developed using Director by
a company in Australia. I am talking about one of their programs
called Numbers Up which can be downloaded for free from
edalive.com. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

What exactly are you asking? Do you want someone to write the
application for you? Do you have a specific question about
how to make a
certain function work?
What you have asked is extremely open ended. There are many
many ways
to add interactivity... by clicking things, typing things,
drag and
drop, etc.
The main thing with a score system is simply to save it as a
global...
Whenever the score changes, you set the global. Assuming you
name your
score variable 'gScore', then you would put this on the score
tracker
#text sprite:
global gScore
on enterFrame me
if voidP(gScore) then gScore=0
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.text=string(gScore)
end
That will constantly update with the score. If you have a
multiple-choice type question, then you would have something
like this
on the sprites that you click on to choose an answer
global gScore
on mouseUp me
if <insert check to see if it is correct> then
gScore=gScore+1
end
That way, the score gets updated if you get a correct answer.
If you
have more specific questions, feel free to ask... or give us
code
snippets of something that you tried that isn't working...
