I am working on a proof of concept version of a game in which you can select a topic from a listbox (the list would be read in from a textfile in the final version). The choice in the listbox would then load up a series of questions (which eventually would be randomised) into an array so they could be displayed appropriately.

As you will see in the example the listbox works fine and the script to load the questions appears to work as it loops through and finds the correct number of questions in the text files but the actual questions do not get read into the array question[].

Anyone have any idea why this does not work/how I can get it to work as I would like to use it as a basis for selecting a series of childrens word games in the future.

You need to add the variable 'Question' (type Array) to either the page or publication.

First of all thank you - saved by the Mac again!

Ever so slightly embarassed, but also rather confused.

If you look at the att. imp I have hard coded the file name that needs to be loaded up rather than being selected by the listbox.

I have not set a publication or page array for 'Question' but it works perfectly. Why does it work here and not with the other example?

I always work from an example I can understand and then develop it further as necessary. In this case the logic seems to have changed going from one method to the next.

Thanks once again

Clive

You called the function ReadQuestions() on page show in the last example which defines the variable but not on the original posted.
