Hi, wondering if anyone here could possible give me a little hand with adobe flash, nothing too complicated. it's just I'm terrible at flash. I'll upload an example of my work I made last year for you to see how bad i am.
For university I have to create a website about our university, we've been asked to include as many types of multimedia as possible to show how multimedia can be used effectively on a website. The website layout and content isn't important so I've just opted for a simple xhtml/css based layout, few .PNGs, few GIFs and at the moment I'm working on some kind of silver-light gallery. But that's a work in progress.
Anyway, I'm looking for a simple flash quiz/poll/interactive thingy, I'd like to use it for a course quiz (you tell it what you like to do and it decides what course is best for you) basically it has 5 yes/no questions.. when you submit it, it looks at what you've chosen and outputs the result of what it thinks best suits you.
I've quickly put it together in PHP to show you want I mean, but because PHP isn't really multimedia I wouldn't get any marks for it hence why I want to do it in flash. I've google'd to my hearts content but there's nothing similar to what I'm doing, just really really complicated quiz's.
Here goes

answering those 5 questions will take you to results .php

The code I've used is really basically and probably completely wrong but it does kinda work:
[PHP]<?php
$webdespoints = 0;
$comscipoints = 0;
if ($_POST['q1'] == 'yes') { $webdespoints++; } else { $comscipoints++; }
if ($_POST['q2'] == 'no') { $webdespoints++; } else { $comscipoints++; }
if ($_POST['q3'] == 'yes') { $webdespoints++; } else { $comscipoints++; }
if ($_POST['q4'] == 'no') { $webdespoints++; } else { $comscipoints++; }
if ($_POST['q5'] == 'yes') { $webdespoints++; } else { $comscipoints++; }
if ($webdespoints >= $comscipoints) echo 'We suggest Webdesign for you';
else { echo 'We suggest computer science for you'; }
?> [/PHP]
Is there anyone willing able to help me? I'm not asking you to do it for me or anything, that wouldn't really help me but maybe a little help on how to do it? would really appreciate it :snoop:
I don't think that is the way to show off flash. Flash is more for presentation. PHP does a better job on that front.
I would recommend not doing a poll in flash and instead make a fancy slideshow about your school or display all the different kinds of majors available. And you can just add a feature to click the specific image thats up and go to the respective info page on that major.
You cant really show off flash with a poll IMO.
You've got a good point. The problem is I'm just not that good at flash and wanted to keep it really really simple. I'd love to create something better than a slide show but I just can't :saddowns:
My point is, a slide show is what you need, that is what it is used for in a professional environment.
Usually it will have a couple different things fade in and out and then just stay static.
But if you can't live without a flash poll,

HTH
Make some sweet banners or interesting flash things.
IIRC, Flash has a Quiz template (might be Flash 8).
