use decision icons, set to randomUnused to present the questions – then
there’s no need to randomise your arrays. Pick out each question using
icon.parentNode.index() or similar, with a page on the deision for each
question – but you’ll make those with duplicate(). You will still need
to build some arrays for sec1Questions, sec2Questions though. I might be
tempted to make those arrays of xmlNodes rather than the bits of templateData.
You can get the pre-XML2Object xml from your file with the variable extXML.
I’d loop over that, picking out your nodes and adding them to your arrays,
then use those arrays to drive your code.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

I'm just going about this entirely the wrong way. What I want to accomplish is
to have all my test questions within one setup.xml file. I have six lessons,
and some of the questions will also be presented at the end of each lesson. So
I need to parse which questions are for lesson 1, which are for lesson 2, etc.
Once the student has completed all of the lessons, they must take a test to
pass the course. This test will be comprised of all of the questions for all
of the lessons, with the questions randomized. Am I on the right track with
what I've been trying to do, or do I need to take a different
approach?</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
