action on return to page
August 5, 2009 12:00 AM
Actually, my intent was to place the delay on modifying the variable. My intent was to make sure that the page did the following actions upon show:
- Check value of menuVisited.
- Show text box if menuVisited = TRUE.
- Set menuVisited = TRUE.
I suggested the delay because if #3 somehow runs before #1, then the text box shows up even if it is the learner's first time.
Although, to be frank, I am probably just overly paranoid. I've been bitten before by actions running out of order, but that was an earlier version of Lectora, and it involved a lot of calculations to be run when the page ran. In your case, the actions will probably never run out of order, so you don't really need the delay in modifying the variable. And if that's what fixes your problem, then that's good enough.
