Hi Soren, if you have made those changes, you then need to export the project as a new .swf file.

I can find the code and cancel it out, but I still can't get the doubles and triples to stop working. I am a beginner at flash, so maybe you can help me understand this. What else am I acutally supposed to change?

Hi Yosef,

Open the ff.fla project file in your Flash editor, hit the F9 key to open the actions script page view.

Scroll down to line 167 and comment out the following block of code. Simply adding two slashes to the beginning of a line causes that line of code to be ignored.

//Score multiplier:
//The “numround” variable defines when the multiplier will start being applied to the score.
//The “mult” variable defines the value that the score will be multiplied by.
//if (numRound ==3){
//mult_txt.text = “Double”;
//mult = 2;
//} else if (numRound>3){
//mult_txt.text = “Triple”;
//mult = 3;
//}
//end score multiplier code

When you’re done, just save the file as “ff_nodoubles.fla” and create a new projector file.

From there on out, running your projector file titled “ff_nodoubles.exe” would allow you to play to your heart’s content without the double/triple answer multiplier.

Hi Yosef,

I don't have Flash installed on my home PC, so I'll take a look and provide a detailed answer for you on Monday.

For now, if memory serves correctly, you'll need to look through the code in the "ff.fla" project file for a question counter and modify it so that it ignores the number of questions that have been asked. You'll also have to disable the part of the function that doubles or triples the point values.

If you want each answer to be worth 100 points, you'll also have to set the default game winning score to greater than 200 points so that the game doesn't end after only 2 correct answers.

Instructions for changing the game winning score and answer point values can be found in the FastMoney_Readme.doc file.

If you've already got Flash CS3 installed, open the ff.fla project file, change to code view and look at the scripting. You shouldn't have too much trouble making sense of it as I'm sure you'll find that it is fairly well commented.

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

Good Luck!

Hi!

Thanks guys for all your help.

I'm doing a program with my 10th graders and this will be awesome.

But, I'd rather not have any doubles or triples in the game. Warren, how can I remove that to make all the questions 100 points?

Thanks,

Yosef
