Tech support: non DIS related -- Flash & Dreamweaver

[DemonLlama]

I thought about posting this on the tech board, but since this has nothing to do with the DIS tech, I guess it belongs here.

My division bought a license and loaded Flash on my laptop in order for me to create an online interactive quiz with printable results.

I can write very limited HTML code, and am pretty handy with creating web pages, which is why they think I'm a whiz, but I know NOTHING about Flash MX and I have spent hours on Flash tutorials all to animate a little ball or triangle or create a moving car ad and I still don't know how to work with time frames and art objects to create this dang quiz.

I've created the thing in Dreamweaver easily, with interactive replies to the choices that the students make, but I don't think it is possible to use DW to create a printable results page.

Any Dreamweaver experts out there know if there is any way this can be done?

Any Flash experts out there able to explain in layman's terms the simplest way to create a largely text based Flash movie that can do this? I'm thinking this program is not really suited to this project, but what do I know?

I do know webmaster Cricket on the Tech board knows this stuff well. He is only there though during the week.

go to http://www.flashkit.com (this is a great site that offers different tutorials on all sorts of things. Not just bouncing balls. I know it seems silly to be making circles that transform into squares but you need to know all the basics before you can move on. It is funny with flash...you do all these little things and before you know it...it clicks and you can do many more things on your own.

Another good site is...

Hope this helps you out a bit.
