Hi,

I have to set up a quiz for a competition that is organised by my school. There are various other schools participating in the quiz. As such, I need to set up a system whereby each team can log in, answer each question of the quiz within a certain time limit example about 30 seconds per question. This is a live quiz contest which will be held in my school. I am thinking of using flash for the layout and asp, cgi, xml etc for the backend code. I also need to record the scores of each team in a database as soon as they click their answer for the question. Can anyone help me get started because I am not that sure how to work with servers in flash. Thanks in advance.

Jayz.
