Ben, Welcome to your Revolution!!!

Mac and Windows and Linux???

> 1. I have a series of .mpg files ~ 60 sec in duration that I want

See 'Movie', 'Play', and 'Play Stopped'

See 'Radio' and create a group of Radio buttons and a text box and  
set the radioBehavior of group to true - Only one can be selected.  
Yes or No
Use this group for each question. Have the group have a unique name  
to use in the next step.

You should have a sign in page at the beginning that is set to store  
the user profile and then apply the answers from the question section  
and compare against the 'right' answers if needed. If you build the  
list you can certainly export that to open in another app. (Other  
people can help with the DB stuff)

Go to the "User Spaces" section in the revOnline Viewer and look  
through the stacks and download and explore. Take what you need. I do  
all the time. Just to learn or see a better way to do something.

Good luck,

Tom
