dynamic menus/tables of contents
June 10, 2006 12:00 AM
Ben - the method you describe would unfortunately violate the graphical concept of the page. Basically every chapter is a button (or a "button") upon which a checkmark appears when they have finished the chapter. If it were a TOC, any click to expand it would wreck the checkmark placement. (Unless it was possible to update the icon in the TOC. Hmm...)With access to a ChapterNames array I could get these buttons to dynamically generate, including the space where the checkmark appears. Since I don't know if such a thing exists, my alternative is to create a main menu with four chapters linked, one with five chapters linked, one with six, and so on, and save each of them as objects. That way, assuming my users know how many chapters they're going to use, they can bring in the corresponding object and all they'll need to do is change the text labels on the buttons.Thanks for your help.
