Problem with quiz results.

Hey guys, i have a problem with a quiz that i need to do, i've been using this template: http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashMXQuiz/index.html
But what i need and it doesnt include is how to put a message at the end of the game which tells you that you won or lost depending if you had at least two questions right or less than two right.
I´ve been searching and have not found any code that i could just add to my ActionScript.
I also have been trying with variables like this:
if(numofQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly>=2){gotoAndPlay(3)}
else
{gotoAndPlay(6)}
..and stuff like that. I'm sorry if that's completely wrong..I'm just starting to learn.
I hope anybody can help me with this.
Thanks

Page 3 of the tutorial shows you the SummaryScreen. They calculate the percent correct there:
userScore=(numOfQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly * 100) / (numOfQuestionsAnsweredIncorrectly + numOfQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly);
It's right there you should stick your code to change to the frame you desire. Make sure you're changing the correct clips playhead.
Do note they're using a lot of frame labels (and they're using flash player 6 with some ancient ActionScript 1.0 coding). There's a chance this quiz won't work in the future. Even ActionScript 2.0 has been depreciated and is currently unsupported by the latest version, Flash CC. It doesn't mean the browser plugin doesn't support it but eventually it may. It's long overdue..
For the 1.0 code though, at the point I mentioned you should be able to do it with what you have (if you want to switch the main timeline to those frames via _root.
if (numofQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly >= 2)
          _root.gotoAndPlay(3)
else
          _root.gotoAndPlay(6)
If you want "some other" clip to move to that frame then add the instance name after _root, e.g. _root.myClip.gotoAndPlay(3);, etc..

  • Few problems with Quiz Results Analyzer Error 16824 and No Companies found in the current user accou

    First I have QRA version 1.0 but when I try to upgrade to 1.5 via the in app Check for updates I get this error: There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16824.
    I've tried uninstalling AIR, QRA, eLearning Suite, and reinstalling, but nothing works.
    Secondly, when trying to view the results on a remote server (php 5, *nix) I am unable to do so. If I do it on localhost I can view the results fine however. If I download the CaptivateResults folder from my site I can open and view it fine as well. The folder structure is being created on the internal server and it matches the folder structure when I use localhost.
    The error I'm getting when trying to view it remotely is: No Companies found in the current user account.
    For my quiz I have the internalServerReporting.php file referrenced in the server reporting section. and the QRA I am using internalserverread.php. No matter what I try the error is still persistant when attempting to view from my server.
    Any and all help is appreciated.

  • Problem with the result of multiple queries in Web Intelligence (BO XI R2)

    We have a problem with Web Intelligence reports. Behavior of the results is like if we selected the function Count in Designer the properties indicators. Same queries separated one for one report give correct results and together 7 queries in one report give correct results only for the first query and for others (6 others) same results for each date (if report is monthly) or the same result for each hour (if the result is daily) for all Queues tested (other which were not tested have result 0). Even the function Sum inserted into the report structure behaves weird u2013 we have the same result as in the filed (it is a copy of that result, not a sum). We tested queries together in SQL Developer and they give correct results, while in BO big query which contains script from Query 3, Query 2  and Query 1 cannot be completely executed (it executes without end).
    We use Business Objects XI R2 SP3.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Peter,
    I guess it is the problem due to the merged dimension and different granurality level in the BO queries. From the document properties uncheck the option of auto-merge common dimension objects or manually unmerge all the common dimensions
    than give it a try.
    I guess this would solve your problem. If not can you provide more query details like what objects you have used in the query.

  • Problem with JDBC results calling simple stored procedure in VC 7.0

    Hi all,
    I am building a simple VC model which calls a stored procedure on a JDBC database. I have created the system in the portal, defined the alias and user mapping, the connection test is fine and the VC "find data" lists my bespoke stored procedure.
    The stored procedure is :
    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.dt_getBieUsers
    AS
    select * from dbo.emailuserlink
    GO
    When I test it using query analyser, it returns 3 records each with the two fields I expect - user and email address.
    I drag the model onto the workspace in VC and create an input form ( with just a submit button ). i drag the result port out to create a table. This has no fields in it.
    I build and deploy as flex and the app runs, I click the submit button and SUCCESS! I get 3 records in my table each with 2 fields. The data is all correct. The problem with this is the fields are determined at runtime it seems.
    I go back to the table and add 2 columns "email" and "address".
    i build and deploy and run the app. Again I get 3 records, but this time the contents of all of the rows is not data, but "email" and "address". The data has been replaced by the header texts in all of the rows.
    Can anyone help? Why isn't the data being put in my columns as I would expect?
    I tried to build and deploy the app as Web Dynpro rather than Flex to see if it was a bug in Flex. The application starts but when I click the submit button to run the JDBC stored procedure I get a 500 Internal Server Error

    Hi Richard,
    After you drag and drop the data service, right click on it and choose "Test data service". Then click on "Execute" and after you see the result on the right, click on "Add fields" button (inside the same window). Now you'll see that the fields are on the tabel. This is required only for JDBC data services, since this data (how the resultset is built) is not know in DT and it needs to be run firest - then analysed and only then you have to add the fields to the table).

  • Problems with iPhone Result of Bad Music???

    In the last few weeks I've been experiencing problems with my iPhone. I did a lot of research online, and figured that it is NOT this "dead strip" that others have been having problems with; however, 75% of the time, the slide bar will not respond for the first 7-8 times I try and answer a call or turn off an alarm.
    As time went on, the problem got more frequent and more involved. The phone might work fine all day, but as soon as someone tried to call, it starting going nuts, even after the call was over. None of the applications would respond to my touch and in the rare case that they opened, they would run incredibly slow and crash. The phone would freeze and need to be restarted. In the more recent days, during the restart, in which the only buttons I'm holding are the sleep/wake and home, my music would spontaneously start playing, starting alphabetically with the first artist on my list with no controls for me to stop it.
    Most of the time, after a restart, the phone would continue to work fine, until a call comes in and starts the process all over...
    After failing an attempt to fix the problems by deleting many songs and videos to clear up some room on the hard drive, I decided to restore my iPhone, as I have done once before, but this time not syncing with previously backed up data. I allowed iTunes to erase all the contents of my phone and then manually put most things back on. Since then, the phone has been working flawlessly. However, there is one problem remaining...I have not put any of my music back on the phone.
    And now I am afraid to!! Even though all that same music has been on my phone for 3 months, and only now have I begun to experience problems, is it possible that the iPhone operating system is more fragile and more vulnerable to bad files that might otherwise work fine on my computer? I have no viruses on my computer, and I have never installed any of these problematic third party applications on my phone. And if it's not the music, what else could be causing these problems???

    This is exactly what apple care is for. Why delay and torture yourself when you can take it in and either have it fixed or have it replaced?
    Take it in to Apple

  • Problem with quiz's report.

    Hello!
    I'm new in Adobe Captivate.
    Actually I have a problem to export the results of the quizes to a e-mail with an excel attached.
    Somebody can help me?
    Thank you.

    there is no standard portal opening page...
    when you say data is in correct what is it that you are comparing it to..
    If its with ECC then first do a listcube and check for that data in the cube.
    If data existis in the cube then check filters on query..
    If data does not exist in cube you might have to scehdule a load for that selection or see why was it missed in delta

  • Problems with a result in a switch/case control statement

    I am having troubles with a switch/case statement in which I am trying to get a result returned from different operators. The problem is that the result always returns 0 no matter what I put in the driver class.
    The class where the result needs to be returned looks like this:

                        break;
                   } // end case '/'
                   case '%':
                        int result = num1 % num2;

    any help would be wonderful! I don't know why the result returned is always 0 but it is. Thanks!
    dragwit

    The previous poster is correct. You never call the calculate method. If you don't call it, no one's going to call if for you. This stuff doesn't work by magic. I think you've misunderstood your prof's intent in this regard.
    However, it still won't work with the changes previously suggested, because declaring an int result in the calculate method will hide the instance field of the same name, which is what your getResult() method retrieves. Don't delare result at all in your calculate method.
    That said, it would be architecturally a lot better if the calculate method returned the result rather than storing it back into the instance.

  • Problem with quiz

    Can anyone help me out. i am fairly new to using Aurthorware

    The problem I am having is that when I run the package only
    one or the other quiz will work. Whichever one I go to first will
    work and the other will just show up with the summary saying 0
    questions etc.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

  • Problem with quiz scoring

    I'm still having an issue with this.....
    Total of 30 questions spread throughout the project. The
    first 15 are set up as graded questions since I want to make sure
    the learner gets them right, but I don't want the scores reported
    so I have these set to zero point value and do not have report
    answers checked. The last 15 are also graded questions, 10 points
    each, and report answers are checked. Learner must get 70% or
    better to pass. When I go through the course, the results slide is
    showing total 30 questions and the number correct out of 30,
    although it is only calculating the score for the last 15. Somehow
    I need to separate these out so that only the last 15 are reported.
    I tried changing the objective ID, but it changes it for all 30
    questions so Captivate is looking at these as one pool of
    questions. Any thoughts?

    I don't see how you can specify some questions as "graded but
    not reported". If you want to know how the user did at all, the
    score must be reported.
    Since it sounds like the Quiz Summary page is the holdup, you
    might be able to get away with splitting the project into two
    separate files with two different values for "quiz passing":
    - one containing the first 15 questions (each scored as you
    would any other quiz question) but give it an overall quiz passing
    score of zero to ensure that the user always "passes"
    - a second containing the "real" test questions with a "real"
    quiz passing score
    That way, the Quiz Summary page will reflect only the
    questions in each file and you'll still have data for each set of
    questions: one set of "user score not held against them" questions
    and a set of "must achieve a minimum passing score"
    questions.

  • Problems with quiz "continue" and "review" buttons in presenter presentation sent to connect pro

    I have a training module, built in powerpoint, modified with Presenter, and posted to Connect Pro on Adobe's server.  The post quiz has 10 questions, and when the final score page displays, it gives the user the options to "Continue" or to "Review Quiz".  The Continue button should take the user either to the next slide OR to the beginning of the presentation depending if their score was passing or not.  The Review Quiz button shows the user the quiz question slides, but to advance to subsequent slides, the user needs to use the "forward" buttons on the play bar.
    My questions:
    Even though I have set the quiz to allow up to 10 tries, there is no way to retake the quiz.  Am I missing something?
    I looked at the infite tries option, but it wouldn't let me designate where to go next.
    If the user clicks the "review quiz" button first, when they return to the score summary page, the "continue" button doesn't work.
    How can I configure so the user can "retake" the quiz?
    I appreciate any thoughts or solutions to these issues.
    Angel T

    Hi,
    Even though I have set the quiz to allow up to 10 tries, there is no way to retake the quiz.  Am I missing something?
    To retake the quiz , user have to go to the beginning of the quiz using the TOC.
    or
    The author may put a button say "Retake" on the result slide which takes the user to the beginning of the quiz.
    or
    In the quiz settings, set the options: If failing grade n attempts and go to slide which marks the beginning of the Quiz.
    I looked at the infite tries option, but it wouldn't let me designate where to go next.
    If the nymber of attemts is infinite, the default setting is goto next slide. You may change it by selecting the continue button on the slide. Go to Actions, and set the hyperlink
    If the user clicks the "review quiz" button first, when they return to the score summary page, the "continue" button doesn't work
    This should work. Could you please mail me a sample presentation which sees this issue ? Mail me at [email protected]
    How can I configure so the user can "retake" the quiz?
    The first question have the answer for this also.
    Let me know if you need any further help.

  • Problems with inspection result transfer to batch classification

    Hello ,
    I `m struggling with  the following problem: As result of UD I want to transfrer the inspection results to the batch class (evaluate the batch by the results of inspection). the correct batch class characteristic is assigned to the master inspection characteristic.
    It works fine, but only if I maintain a material specification for the material which includes the characteristics I want to get valuated automatically.
    We are using only inspection plans, we do not work with material specifications for quality inspection. In the inspection settings of the material master data only 'inspection with plan' is marked, 'material specification' we keep empty.
    I do not believe that I have to maintain the material specification in order to get results  transfered - But Am I wrong?
    If it is possible to get the results transferred without a maintained material specification - what is wrong with my settings? what do I need to change in order to get the process running well without that material specification nobody wants to maintain?
    Thanks in advance for all helpful hints.
    Kurt

    Hi
    Go to QCC0>Basic Setting>Setting at plant level--->select plant ->Inspection lot completion->Batch valuation without material spec
    check indicator.
    If you set this indicator, a link between the master inspection characteristics and the class characteristics for the batch class must exist when an inspection lot is created, for batch valuation to occur when the usage decision or inspection point valuation is made. A link within the material specification is not required.
    If you do not set this indicator, batch valuation only occurs when the usage decision or inspection point valuation is made, if a link using the material specification exists between the master inspection characteristics and the class characteristics for the batch class. In this way, you can control on a material-dependent basis whether the batch characteristics are valuated based on the inspection results.
    Regards'

  • Misc. problems with Quiz

    I created a quiz for the first time with the questions pool manager and I'm getting some really strange results when I take the quiz:
    1) If I click the Forward button to go to the next question, the quiz ends, and the reporting screen is wrong - it says I answered the question wrong, but I answered it correctly. Then, the Continue button does not work, and when I click Review, I go back to the question and the screen says I did not complete the question - but I did. Is clicking Forward the wrong thing to do in a quiz? If so, I need to warn the user not to do that (which seems like a strange thing to have to do).
    2) If I click Submit for the first question instead of Forward, the quiz ends. I can't seem to go on to the second question.
    3) When I restart the quiz, I get a screen full of randomly placed rollover captions from previous slides - weird! No matter how many times I restart or re-publish, that garbage is still on the screen.
    4) When I click Review, I can go back to the first question, but there is no way to exit the quiz (buttons don't help) except for clicking Forward (which was a bad thing to click previously!)
    I must admit, my first experience with the Question Pool was fine, but actually taking a quiz I created was a totally crazy experience. I must be doing something wrong here - can't believe that Captivate would be that unfriendly to quiz users ...
    Ideas?

    A little progress ...
    The quiz works OK in Preview now, but NOT when I publish it.
    The published version is missing all the questions - they all show up as blank, whereas in Preview they show up fine. The Summary screen traps me - the Continue and Forward buttons don't work (I assume they should work automatically) and Review just sends me back to the blank screens to click through again.
    I have re-published many times, deleted target files, etc. - no luck - but Preview is working.
    Is my installation hosed, or is there a simpler explanation for why Publish doesn't match Preview??
    Also, halfway thru the quiz in Preview, the "Correct/Incorrect" function suddenly stops advancing me to the next slide and I have to click Forward to proceed ... strange ...

  • Problem with Search Results do not appear consistantly except for farm administrator

    We have Server farm with multiple web applications hosted on 443 port, all of them available over internet for the authenticated company users to use.
    When a user searches for a content on the search box on the visited page, some/many users get no results for the first time clicking on the search box, if they refresh the page or search again, it might return the results. Again clicking on next page or

    Use fiddler or F12 tool to check the requests when doing search in SharePoint site to see if the query request has been sent successfully.
    Check ULS log to see more detailed error message. For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    You do not need to add the local IP address on the intranet zone.
    If you use Public domain URL for crawling, then the results returned will show with the URL of public zone even if you do search in the internal zone.

Offending clauses: [Action clause has not been completed.].Please tell me what to do?Regards,Atif
