to make your own change questions to something like this
questions=[[question,correct answer, wrong answer, wrong answer, wrong answer],[question2,right,wrong,wrong,wrong
]]you can have as many questions as you want but only 4 answers for each question. this wasnt supposed to be api but i didnt want to have to explain what to do for each moviecip
here's the finished file

[GeoKureli]

crap newgrounds screwed up the seperators. i didnt wanna explain what each did, but i tought it helps to at least divide importent parts. so you can just delete all the ---------'s

[gorman2001]

simple, but effective.

[GeoKureli]

simple................ what. i never used so many function. theres a bunch a for loop and recursion. this is like the most complex thing ive made in a while...

also i realised i dont need to have a changeanswers function and an arrangeanswers function
so replace them with this

arrangeAnswers = function () {
used = new Array();
used[0] = random(4);
addNew(4, used);
addNew(4, used);
addNew(4, used);
changeAnswers();
_root.q.text = currentQuestion+".) "+questions[done[currentQuestion-1]][0];
_root.a.text = "A: "+questions[done[currentQuestion-1]][used[
0]+1];
_root.b.text = "B: "+questions[done[currentQuestion-1]][used[
1]+1];
_root.c.text = "C: "+questions[done[currentQuestion-1]][used[
2]+1];
_root.d.text = "D: "+questions[done[currentQuestion-1]][used[
3]+1];
};
its just simpler

[Rustygames]

That is nice!

Watch out though toast will come and say "why not just make buttons"

Seriously though that is a really good idea.

[gorman2001]

what i meant is simple graphics.

[GeoKureli]

ya i might make better ones..... but probly not
