Project does not run well with timer

Report · Apr 04, 2016

Hi.

I have created one quiz project and everything run well before I add timer function into it. When I hit "pause" timer, the timer stop, the buttons are all disabled for Q1 (this are good as what the quiz was supposed to be). But when I "restart" the timer, to move to the next question, it will redirect me to the last page and end the quiz. It was supposed to redirect me to the next question. Help needed! Thank you

I do not see any code in what you show that sends you to either the next question or the end. What code do you have in place that is supposed to introduce the next question?

The code that I used to go to the next frame is nextFrame();

I am assuming you click the pause_btn to either pause or unpause it based on the code you show, which has no relation to the other buttons (A,B,C,etc) that would result in a call to the nextFrame() function. If you think it is somehow the nextFrame() function that is getting executed then try putting a trace(event.currentTarget); in that function to try to track down where the command is coming from. I would guess that it is not that command that is sending you to the end.

If you happen to be programming in the non-strict mode, I suggest you change it to be so that you get the benefit of errors that you might not otherwise see.
