Hi,

Is there anyway this can be done by modifying the quiz templates.

At the end of the quiz I need to email the results.

Thanks

Yes. For example on quiz template 1 on frame 8 you can add a frame script
with a LoadVars object or XML object and sent the values in the text fields
on that page to a server side script that will email you unless you want to
rely unreliably on user with getURL and mailto. You will need to give the
text fields an instance name such as total_correct_txt, total_incorrect_txt
and total_score_txt and use the text properties to populate your sending
variables.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, can you possibly give me more information on this? Do I store the answers in some sort of session variable? Do i pass the answer from frame to frame?

Thanks

I believe they keep the scores for your as a total correct or incorrect.
There is some documentation in the F8 docs under "Creating E-learning
Content".



The last frame might be something like this where the server script would
send you the email.

my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
my_lv.correct = QuizTrack.total_correct
my_lv.incorrect = QuizTrack.total_wrong
my_lv.LoadVars.send("nameOfServerScript")

If you modify to add getting a student name and quiz name and storing in
your own variables, you would add to the list of variables to send.

my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
my_lv.studentname = studentName
my_lv.quizname = quizname
my_lv.quizdate = new Date()
my_lv.correct = QuizTrack.total_correct
my_lv.incorrect = QuizTrack.total_wrong
my_lv.LoadVars.send("nameOfServerScript")

As for server side scripts that send you email you need to choose one and
explore its email features. Here is a sample of sending an email using Flash
LoadVars and PHP that I use in Flash seminars:

http://www.hosfordusa.com/ClickSystems/courses/flash/examples/Flash2PHPMail/Flash2PHPMailEx01.php
http://www.hosfordusa.com/ClickSystems/courses/flash/examples/Flash2PHPMail/Flash2PHPMailEx02.php

Assuming you can use PHP, you could post more questions and perhaps suggest
how to modify them to fit the Flash quiz.

However if you look at the second example of PHP we might with the above AS
code modify as follows

$emailBody = "Student quiz results\n";
$emailBody .= "Student name = $_REQUEST['studentname']\n";
$emailBody .= "Quiz name = $_REQUEST['quizname']\n";
$emailBody .= "Quiz date = $_REQUEST['quizdate']\n";
$emailBody .= "Correct = $_REQUEST['correct ']\n";
$emailBody .= "Incorrect = $_REQUEST['incorrect ']\n";

Thanks for all your help with this Lon.

I have setup a basic coldfusion page in effort to get it working. My last
frame now has:

stop();
my_lv.LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.correct = QuizTrack.total_correct;
my_lv.incorrect = QuizTrack.total_wrong;
my_lv.LoadVars.send("http://www.halesowen.ac.uk/sendit.cfm");

However, it does not work. Any ideas?

Thanks again
