Making a "blind" quiz

In the last post I mentioned how to hide the ticks and crosses that usually appear within the quiz activity, and also showed how to hide the score in the top left corner. However, a right or wrong answer normally results in a sound (giving away whether an answer is right or wrong!). To make a quiz completely "blind" (ie not give the user ANY clue about how they have done until the end) you also need to disable the right / wrong sounds on each quiz page. 

It's very simple - just click on the speaker icon at the top of the quiz screen. A pop up appears with a tick / cross and 2 speakers. Clicking each speaker allows you to select a red cross from the options - to ensure no sound is made when an answer is chosen. Remember to do this for EVERY question in your quiz.

Hiding ticks and crosses in a Quiz

Have you made a quiz activity, and then found that the class use the ticks / crosses to remember the right and wrong answers the next time they attempt it? Wouldn't it be great if there were no ticks or crosses showing on the screen when an answer is chosen?

The code "_root.showScoreAlways=false;" hides the overall score (it normally appears in the top left of the screen)

The "_root.cross._width=0;" and "_root.cross._height=0;" codes make the cross appear on screen but with a width and height of 0 pixels - making it unnoticable. The same is true with the "_root.tick._width=0;" and "_root.tick._height=0;"

Try the Viking Quiz activity and see how these codes affect the score / tick and crosses.

Thanks to Dan and Max at 2Simple who thought about this one and sorted out a solution.
