Hi dntel,

There is a quiz template at:
http://www.adobe.com/resources/elearning/extensions/director/sample_mov/
with behaviors for various question types.

If you're hard coding your quiz, all you need to do is create a global variable for
the score, when you keep adding to it every time you get a right answer. That
global can be displayed in a text member.

Hope that helps.

Just following on my brief mention of hardcoding a quiz, i set up a simple demo file
that can be accessed from:
www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/files/quiz2.zip

I have 2 questions (multiple choice), with a tick next to the right answer. Click the
right answer to see the score go up (by one each click). Use a global variable that
changes when you click the right answer and that global variable is displayed in a text
member. I set the global variable to 0 when the movie starts using a movie script in
the 'prepareMovie' handler.
