    Hi Forum.

    I hope this post finds some feedback in here? It's just that I couldn't find a forum specifically for Flash based applications. So anyway, maybe there'll be some FLASH gurus reading that can help?

    I've looking at various quiz/test making flash programs over the past couple of weeks but none of those that offer various quiz or test questions seem to have the format I need. At least I don’t see it. I did contact 3 of the popular quiz creators last week but as yet none have replied to my emails, hence this post.

    Perhaps I could explain;

    The type of tests I will be using the most are multiple-choice, but with no right or wrong answers. This is where my problem starts. Whatever the question type in these quiz creators, it seems that you have to select a correct answer in order to proceed.

    Below is an example of the kind of question scoring I'm looking for:

    Q1. How often do you drink alcohol?

    1. Never (0 points)
    2. Monthly or less (1 point)
    3. 2-4 times a month (2 points)
    4. 2-3 times a week (3 points)
    5. 4 or more times a week (4 points)

    Once a series of questions are completed, the scores are added up and the resulting page is displayed based on the test results. For example, 'If you scored between 30-50, over 70, and so on…

    Perhaps the quiz makers do have the option to create scoring of this type, but with the standard options being TRUE/FALSE, Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, etc, I just can't see how my types of self assessment tests can be created using these tools, and I've looked at most by now.

    Any advice much appreciated
