Hi there,

I've used javascript in my project to retrieve wrong answers at the end of a quiz.

It works on my pc, but if i send exported files to someone else, the javascript don't work anymore.

I mean, the whole quiz works correcty, but at the end it don't retrieve wrong answers.

Anyone can help me?  

Thx

Hi Binario -

How are they attempting to run the file? If running it locally, there's a good chance that the Flash player security limitations are preventing the JavaScript trigger from firing. A few ways around this.

  • One is to publish as a CD and send that package. Running from the EXE will bypass the Flash security sandbox.
  • Another is to publish to a web host.
  • Another is to have them whitelist the run location using the Flash security settings manager (Google for the location)
  • The last is to have them attempt running it using index_html5.html. This won't use the Flash player so it should fire the function just fine.
