close window delay

When the course opens in our LMS, it opens with in a player template that loads each SCO on the screen. There is a table of contents on the side. When the exit /close window action is used, it closes that one SCO. Everything else is still there, but the content portion is empty. It's the same premise as frames on a website.

I had the timer action there so it would look for the exit variable constantly since I don't know when the user is going to click the exit button.

Tia said:Hi, I am having a problem with the "exit course/close window" action. What I WANT to happen is the user clicks my button, the alert window I made closes, and then the SCO closes. What DOES happen is the user clicks my button, the alert window I made closes, and a few seconds later the SCO closes. Is there any way to make this faster? Here is my set up: 1. There is a timer action as the first action at top level. This action closes the SCO if a variable called "exit" to contains "OK". The timer action is set to fire every .5 seconds. There is no delay on the action. 2. There is a EXIT button that when clicked displays a message telling them what will happen when the click the button. 3. There are two buttons on the message; OK and Cancel. The OK button has 2 actions on it. It has a modify exit variable action and a close window action. Any advice offered up to decrease the time would be great!
