I want to put a countdown timer into a exercise, thus when the timer goes to 0, then it will stop the exercise and goes to the results page.
the exercise file is the QUiz example from Flash MX 2004. inside contains drag n down elements and multiple choice…
but i tried to integrate both files(countdown timer & exercise) by tryong to change those action scripts… below is the original AS for both files… i would appreciate if those experts could guide me on this… as i m not good in action script… thx in advance 1st…
