Hello All:
I am having a problem with a little trivia game that I am in the process of developing. What I am trying to do is have flash fade out one wrong answer at a time. All questions are being pulled from an XML file that has hundreds of questions. Keep in mind that the correct answer will not always be in the same spot. I also have it so that one question fades into another after a specific time. Here is the code
System.useCodepage = true;
//
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = xmlData.firstChild;
answerA = [];
answerB = [];
answerC = [];
question = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
question* =
xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
answerA* =
xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
answerB* =
xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
answerC* =
xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
ans_txt.text = "A:";
q_txt.text = "Q:";
}
firstImage();
//veryfirstImage();
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("multiple_trivia.xml");

p++;

p--;

Here is the XML code:

<question>What Year the Disney world Start?</question>

<wrong>1955</wrong>

</question>
