click button and then go to a random scene.

[mbrooking]

I am creating a quiz in Flash using Actionscript 3.0

I need the questions to appear randomly, each time the application is used. The questions are in a different order.

Also the application cannot go back to the first scene as that is a start page.

I am not terribly sure how to do this.

stop();

BTstart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CL… clickFunction);

function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("start 1","Question 1");
}

this is the code for the button

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea why you'd use scenes for this, but what you can do is put all your eligible scene names in an array, and choose the next scene from the array then remove it.

So something like:

var scenenames:Array = ["Question 1", "Tom", "Sue", "Harry", "foo"];

function getRandomScene():String{
  var i:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*scenenames.length);
  var scenename:String = scenenames[i];
  scenenames.splice(i, 1); //remove that one.
  return scenename;
}

And in your gotoAndStop line you can call getRandomScene instead.

gotoAndStop("start 1", getRandomScene());
