I'd rather try to help you solve it, otherwise you are not going to learn much. Struggling to solve something is often the best way of learning.

First you need to get rid of some of that code. If all of those on release function are in the same frame, then the second half of them have to be moved to the frame where "q2" is.

Next, you need to make sure you have given the instance names you use in the code to your buttons via the properties panel. Instance names are NOT the names you used in the library for the buttons, though they could be if you assign them to be the same.

Lastly, you should use the trace() function. It is a handy tool for troubleshooting code. You can use it to see where something stops working as well as to see the values of things.

In your first button's function, change it to add a trace statement (you can add as many as you need wherever you need them):

// Code executed when button 1 is pressed.
choice_1btn.onRelease = function () {

trace("Choice 1 selected");

q1answer = 1;
gotoAndStop("q2");
};


If you do not see "Choice 1 selected" appear in the output panel after you click the button, you know there is something wrong with how you've implemented that button.

You could add another trace statement in the actions frame where "q2" is to let you know if you ever got there.

trace("Arrived at q2");
trace(q1answer);


And it would make it easier for me to read your postings and help you if you do not quote what I say... I know what I said, and can refer back to it if need be. It makes it hard to find where you might be saying something.
