1. Flash Quiz Results Storing Flash Quiz Results in an Access Database

2. Storing Quiz Results Storing quiz results is a four-step process. First, you identify the user who owns the HTTP session. Second, you send this user to the page that administers the quiz. Third, you program the quiz to post the results. Fourth, you receive the results and save them in the database.

3. Identifying the User There are two ways to identify the user. First, you can have users log on through the Dreamweaver login server behavior presented in Class 6.Class 6 Second, you can use a form to prompt an anonymous user for some kind of identification, such as an e-mail address, and save it in a session variable as you learned in Class 8.Class 8

4. Administering the Quiz You administer the quiz by embedding it on an ASP page. If you are using the Dreamweaver Login behavior, you secure the quiz by putting on this page the server behavior called User Authentication > Restrict Access to Page.

5. Posting the Quiz Results On the last screen of the quiz, you need to put a button which, when pressed, launches a script that posts the results to the ASP page to which you will take the user upon completion of the quiz. The Action Script you add to the last frame of the quiz is as follows: report_btn.onRelease = function() { score = QuizTrack.percent_format; trace(score); getURL(“my_quiz_results.asp", "_self", "POST"); }

6. Storing the Results in the DB To store the results in the database, your Access database needs to contain a table in which you will store the quiz results. On the page that will store the quiz results, you create a data binding to the Request object that contains the score, and to the Session object that contains the username.

7. Data Grab Script You grab hold of the data through Request(“score”) and Session(”MM_Username”) For example: The result of the quiz was for username This writes a message in the form of: The result of the quiz was 33% for username Elvis.

8. Database Insertion Script 0) Response.Write(" There was a connection error."); else Response.Write(" The score was recorded."); connection.Close(); %>
