Action Variables
April 11, 2008 12:00 AM
Depending on how you set stuff up, you could also accomplish this without using a variable at all. Often times, I just create an invisible button (which I usually name "Special Next") and place it on top of the regular, inherited Next button. I then set the action on the button to display a message box that tells the user what the problem is (like "Wait - you haven't seen everything on this page yet!" or "You need to check your answer before you continue" or whatever). Then I create an action to hide the "Special Next" button, which I either place on a button (like the button they might use to make the policy info appear or check their answer to a question) or as a timed action on the page (if I want to make sure that they've seen all of the build animations before they go to the next page). Because there are no variables involved, it's really easy to reuse the "Special Next" button and the hide action on other pages/objects, without having to reset the variable or create a new one each time.
