// A very common concern for students is how do I set up my page
// countes?  Another is how do I do percent?  This is a shell that
// demonstrates both.


// Here we have the counters we'll use to describe progress
var pageCount:int = 0;
var pageTotal:int = 14;
var questionsRight:int = 0;
var questionsTotal:int = 4;

// Here we set up our page counter
var ourProgress_txt:TextField = new TextField();
ourProgress_txt.text =  pageCount + " of " + pageTotal;
ourProgress_txt.x = 200;
ourProgress_txt.y = 300;
ourProgress_txt.width = 50;
addChild (ourProgress_txt);

// Here we set up our percentage correct
var ourScore_txt:TextField = new TextField();
ourScore_txt.text =  (questionsRight / questionsTotal) + " % correct" ;
ourScore_txt.x = 250;
ourScore_txt.y = 300;
ourScore_txt.width = 70;
addChild (ourScore_txt);

// Now in the fla, create 14 keyframes.
// Insert --> Timeline --> Keyframe
// In the frames 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12
// Copy and paste the snippet below into the frame (removing comments)

// pageCount++;
// ourProgress_txt.text =  pageCount + " of " + pageTotal;



// In the frames 4, 7, 10, 13
// Copy and paste the snippet below into the frame (removing comments)

// pageCount++;
// questionsRight++;
// ourProgress_txt.text =  pageCount + " of " + pageTotal;
// ourScore_txt.text =  (questionsRight / questionsTotal) + " % correct" ;

// Do your CNTL ENTER.  You should see the progress counter update very quickly.  
// To stop it so it only runs once go to the last keyframe (should be 15) and add:
// stop(); to the very last line of the keyframe (without the comment of course).

// Better but we didn't see much updating did we?  Why?
// 
// The answer we are looking for is default frame rate.  It's set to 24 frames per second
// At that rate we burn through all of our frames too quickly to "see" it.
// To fix this we have several ways but we'll just slow our frame rate.  Select
// Modify --> Document.  Frame rate is in the lower portion of the panel and probably
// reads 24.  Click the 24 and set the rate to 1.  Now run it.

// Better but notice the percent is a bit off.  Can can modify
// ourScore_txt.text =  (questionsRight / questionsTotal) + " % correct" ;
// to read  instead
// ourScore_txt.text =  (questionsRight / questionsTotal) *100 + " % correct" ;


// Now do a CNTL ENTER.  The movie should "walk" through the frames, incrementing 
// the page counter every frame and the "questions" right every third frame.  This 
// is similar to the way most of you CAN do your movie.  You will have to consider 
//placement of your code to increment on "right" answers for example, but this 
// is a start.
