Rather than creating a new Text member on the fly for all possible answers to all questions, create n Text members where n is the most that you will ever have on the screen at one time. For example lets assume that you had a question and 4 potential answers. In this case, you can create a Text member called Question, and four answer members called Answer1, Answer2, Answer3, and Answer4. You drag these onto the stage and position them appropriately.
Now, when you are ready to pose a question, you get the question and answer text, and you have a routine that puts the text into these members for display:
on PoseQuestion sQuestionText, sAnswer1, sAnswer2, sAnswer3, sAnswer4 -- "s" for string
member("Question").text = sQuestionText
member("Answer1").text = sAnswer1
member("Answer2").text = sAnswer2
member("Answer3").text = sAnswer3
member("Answer4").text = sAnswer4
end
Then you need some variable that remembers the correct answer (i.e., 1, 2, 3, or 4)
Each of the Answer sprites would have a simple behavior that either checks against the right answer, or calls some handler that checks against the right answer. You could just use the last character of the name to determine the "value of the response:
property pValue
property spriteNum
on beginSprite me
sName = sprite(spriteNum).member.name
theValue = value(the last char of sName)
end
on mouseUp me
SomeHandlerThatWillCheckForCorrectness(pValue)
end
Hope this helps,

Hello again!
now, I have a further question.
If I created my text fields on the fly, and then put it on the stage, and
then how do I insert the MouseUp script into each of the text field on the
stage - ON THE FLY?
The reason I asked is because I want to make each text field on the stage
that I have created on the fly responses to user mouse click so that users
can play the sound when users click on the text field.
I hope this explaination is clear enough to understand - excuse my messy
English.
Thanks!
