    PLEASE HELP ME

    I'm working on a project (tutorial) that includes a TEST. I want that test to be controlled by time. (i.e. when user starts the TEST, time should automatically start and after specified time user wouldn't be able to answer the qustions)

    I want to display the Continuous TIME remaining or progressed on page with TEST.

    Is it possible?

    Well, this is probably much better done in Flash, but I don't know Flash! So, here is my interpretation using a WebBrowser Object and some javascript.

    I know this isn't perfect, but its the best I've got.

      There is a testing application that Bruce and I have been working on and there was a flash timer that was published awhile back. I will see if I can configure the application to use that timer and report it to the screen. The one problem that I am having right now is when the flash movie playes it ties up the screen.

      Timing and loops has always been a discussion point around here because it will depend on the speed of the machine. There was talk about using a silent MP3 as a timing source too. We could do something like that where it plays and upon completion it will increment a counter and while it is playing it can be used to report to the screen.

      What about using the system clock?

      Any other thoughts on timing?


      dinesh, when you are asking about a timer, do you want it decrement or increment in real time, or would it be ok to update a time variable between questions?

        Yes it is possible. Flash is best.

          Corey,

          When you run a flash movie, does AMS still work while the movie is playing. With the flash timer from an earlier project, if I feed that with 300 seconds worth of time, should the project still function while it is playing?

            I think this method is as effective as using a silent mp3.

            It actually works fairly well.
