Hello,
I am a Learning assessment tool which I inherited the code for. It was done it AS3 and Flash CS3. The application pulls in an XML file that contains 50 questions and Answers, with a time limit of 60 minutes. Everything works great, but I would like to make some modifications. What I would like to do is create two (2) segments of 25 Questions each, and I time limit of 30 minutes per segments. The XML file is easy enough to alter. It would be something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

what I need help with is the code where a user can choose which section they want to take in order to complete the test. The current AS which should allow for multiple selections is this.
package exam {
import flash.events.*
//Custom Event class that sends up the number of sections in the loaded XML. If more than one, user will
//need to select the section they want to take before exam proceeds.
internal class MultiSectEvent extends Event {
public static const SECTIONS:String = "sections";
public var sectionCount:Number;
public var systemVar:Object;
//CONSTRUCTOR
public function MultiSectEvent (type:String, sCount:Number, systemVars:Object, bubbles:Boolean=false,
cancelable:Boolean=false) {
//pass to superclass' constructor (Event)
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
//add section count so listeners know number of sections
sectionCount = sCount;
systemVar = systemVars;
}
//custom Event class, so MUST override clone().
public override function clone():Event {
return new MultiSectEvent(type, sectionCount, systemVar, bubbles, cancelable);
}
//custom Event class, so MUST override toString().
public override function toString():String {
return formatToString("MultiSectEvent","type","bubbles","cancelable","eventPhase","sectionCount",
"systemVar");
}
}
}
right now this does not work and the application breaks.
