Flash Color Quiz: What's Your Mood?

Now it's time to add the code to each color option to assign a value to a variable that will tell the results page what results to display, as well as move the quiz to either the next question or the end results. Right-click on the first symbol and select Actions:
on (release) {
_root.tint = "yellow";
_root.gotoAndPlay(9);
}

This script creates a root-level variable called "tint", and assigns the string "yellow" as its value. (Notice that I put "yellow" in quotes so it would pass as a text string and nothing else.)

You can copy the script to the Actions for each of your options, and just change the string to reflect the correct option - such as "blue" and "orange".
