Update on Teri's issue:

1. One of her answers didn't have the points value in quotes (it was missing the opening quote)
2. The file was erroneously named "questions.xml.xml" instead of "questions.xml" (likely her operating system hides file extensions)

This looks/sounds really cool, but I can't get any numbers to appear on the bottom. I've modified the questions and saved it as a .xml file. I read all of the statements listed above, and was wondering if I jacked up the formatting. I typed within the quotes, but then deleted spaces that were left if I deleted one of the answers that was there... could that be the problem? Any advice is appreciated, as I am planning to use this for entertainment at a Christmas potluck at church. Thanks!

I had the same problem then realized I had been saving the questions file as .txt instead of .xml

The syntax rules are quite strict. For example, you cannot have a quote within the quotes, and I think that there are some limitations on question and/or answer length.

I'm having the same problem as Kyla. I altered the questions, but didn't change any syntax just the content in the quotes. There are no numbers on the bottom of the screen to choose the questions as there are in the demo.

Out of the box, you shouldn't have to do anything with the .exe file. Have you made any modifications to the questions file? If so, perhaps it is not quite in the proper syntax.

i am having the same problem. so when i try to open the ff.exe file, the questions do not appear on the bottom of the screen, only the points boxes and the logo show up...
How do i get the questions and everything else to show up with this forkmat of the document?

I'm not sure, but perhaps Internet Explorer is blocking local JavaScript from running, and you need to allow it. Sometimes a bar will dropdown in IE to tell you that it is blocking scripts from running on a particular page. On that bar there would be an option to allow the script to run.

You could also run ff.exe or open ff.swf.
