Hope some can help me here, I’ve put together a quiz using a flash pre made template (Quiz_style1) but I’ve come across an issue I can’t seem to resolve. I’d like to edit the check boxes, change the size, colour, font etc but I don’t know how.
I’m a complete novice when it comes to action scripting but I’ve managed to edit them (after many hours googling) but only if I start from a new blank flash document, if I try to add the same scripting to the quiz nothing happens, no errors appear when I test the quiz it just seemingly has no effect.
Here’s the action scripting for the multiple choice (Actions : Frame : 1) could someone possibly tell me where (if anywhere!?!) amongst it I can add some scripting to alter the checkboxes style, oh and erm… what scripting I should add 
Thanks for any help (hope I’m posting this in the right section
)
