I’m an elementary teacher and awhile back I tried making a quiz program for my class using content questions in Flash. I completely stink at coding. Someone ended up helping with it, but unfortunately there’s a couple bugs and I can’t seem to contact the person who helped me.

It’s pretty simple. I was wondering if anyone might be willing to take a look at it and see if they could fix the bugs:

1 – For some reason when it hits the end of a category (it looks like Jeopardy), it ends the game. It should wait until all the questions are answered.

2 – This really isn’t a glitch. If you read below about how the game works, I hit a team color depending on who raises their hand (the students don’t interact with the game, they raise their hands and I punch a button depending on what team they are on).
What we forgot to add was, what if a question is displayed and nobody can answer it? As it is, I would hit Y,P,G, or R (yellow, purple, green, red) and then that team could answer. I need to add a button that skips that question, doesn’t add or subtract point, and moves on. (Maybe ‘S’ for skip?)

If someone decides to take a shot at it, here’s a little info on how it’s setup that might help. Just shoot me a PM so I know someone is interested. Think of it as a community service for a bunch of great kids! Here’s the files to play with: http://www.mediafire.com/?ay3s6cy9cohw2d1

Setup Info:

The game looks at the list.xml for possible topics, picks 3 at random, and then finds those topic*.xmls for the questions. Questions can either be text, or pull a picture from the media folder. It also has a mystery category that pulls questions at random from any topic*xml. It was made this way so that I and other teachers could add questions.
You hit + to start the game. The teacher starts off and picks a category that the game has randomly chosen by hitting 1-4. That picks the first question available in that category. It displays the question and a timer up top counts down (it doesn’t do anything when the timer runs out, it’s up to the teacher to hit – (minus) meaning that they missed the question). If a student wants to answer, they raise a hand and I hit Y,P,G, or R depending on their team. The student would verbally answer. I then hit ‘A’ which reveals the answer. Then I would hit either + or – depending on whether they got it right or wrong. Then the program would adjust the score.
