This project is being done in Flash 5.  
I’m trying to do a helper interview Q&A.  
I’m not good at all with Action Scripting.

In the .fla I have a multiple guess question  
with an A, B, or C for the answer. Next to the  
question I have made a movie clip that contains  
a blank square box that changes to an X in the  
square when the box is clicked. If clicked again  
the X goes away. I’ve placed this box next to  
the text: Answer A, Answer B and Answer C.

This is the AS for the square box that someone  
did for me on another project:  
onClipEvent (load) {  
stop ();  
clicked = false;  
}  
// this works  
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, false)) {  
if (clicked == false) {  
gotoAndStop (2);  
clicked = true;  
} else {  
gotoAndStop (1);  
clicked = false;  
}  
}  
}

I’ve made a button that reads: Click to check  
your answer.  
I’ve made another movie clip that contains the  
answer for the question. Named it "best\_answer\_movie.  
Inside the movie clip I have a Dynamic text box named  
‘answer’ to have an A, B, or C in it when the  
best\_answer\_movie runs .

What I am trying to do is this:  
Have the user click the A, B, or C answer box.  
After that the user clicks the 'Click to check your  
answer button. When clicked the “best\_answer\_movie”  
pops up on the lower potion of the canvas. In the answer  
text the Dynamic text box already has the letter of the box  
that was clicked.

Am I going about this in the right direction?

Any help would be appreciated.
