Understanding Arrays
As you've hopefully found out, this exercise asks you to use something called an '
Array
'. The Array contains the
data for our quiz
.
An Array is useful because we can
add code
to mess about with our questions. We can
sort
,
edit
,
remove
and
jumble up
the question data.
Consider the following questions:
In your opinion, what should a computer quiz do?
Can't we just type questions and answers into text boxes and display them on the screen?
What '
added value
' does Flash offer? Why not just print questions on paper?
Who cares about the
benefits
of using an Array - why are they worth bothering with for an
interactive
quiz?
Are you sure you've thought about the questions above?
