I’m working with some code from Flash Game University…
Quiz answers are created with the following code:
answerSprites = new Sprite();
for (var i:int=0; i<answers.length; i++) {
var answer:String = answers*;
var answerSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
var letter:String = String.fromCharCode(65+i);// A-D
var answerField:TextField = createText(answer,answerFormat,answerSprite,0,0,450);
var circle:Circle = new Circle();// from Library
circle.letter.text = letter;
answerSprite.x = 100;
answerSprite.y = 150+i*50;
answerSprite.addChild(circle);
answerSprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickAnswer);// make it a button
answerSprite.buttonMode = true;
answerSprite.useHandCursor = true;
// Ignore other objects (such as textfield) within MC bounding box:
answerSprite.mouseChildren = false;
answerSprites.addChild(answerSprite);
}
and on mouse click the following function is called:
// player selects an answer
public function clickAnswer(event:MouseEvent) {
// get selected answer text, and compare
var selectedAnswer = event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).text;
if (selectedAnswer == correctAnswer) {
numCorrect++;
messageField = createText("Correct!",questionFormat,gameSprite,0,140,550);
} else {
messageField = createText("Incorrect! The correct answer was:",questionFormat,gameSprite,0,140,550);
}
finishQuestion();
}
Basically, I would like to set answerSprite.buttonMode = false; when the “clickAnswer” function is called but the answerSprite var isn’t recognized within the function. How can I refer to answerSprite?
