Bookmarking for Multiple Users on Same Computer

 Thanks, Greg! I'm not fluent in Flash, but that seems like the easier way now that I've spent some time on this.


I think I may have figured out a way to do this inside Lectora. But it's a little convoluted. It involves moving variables into other variables to store them between users and allocating enough variable "placeholders" for the estimated number of users for that computer. Fortunately, we don't foresee more than 10 users per computer, so this may work out fine.


When the user clicks an exit button placed on the page, a series of Actions store the page name and the user name into a "placeholder" variable. The "placeholders" will retain the variables between sessions for the PAGE and USERNAME. When the user returns and enters his name, his name is compared with all placeholders, and whichever placeholder contains the name performs the following actions: the USERNAME is subtracted from the placeholder along with the separator (space) which leaves just the PAGE. Then, using the GO To - Web Address Action (the web address being VAR(placeholder), the user is returned to the bookmarked page. 


The drawback to this method is that there is a different variable set for each page...so it can become very cumbersome.
