Strange Occurance with Actions
May 3, 2007 12:00 AM
Yes the sequence you described is what I attempted to achieve, it just didn't happen. Here is what I did.I created a variable called "ToggleGroup" and left the value blank.I place this variable on the page and on show had it modify the variable and set the contents with a blank value again.I inserted six actions under the imagine on the page. the first two actions modified the variable "ToggleGroup" added a value of 1 to the variable (not set)Action 1 - added to variable on mouse enter Action 2 - added to variable on mouse existAction 3 - on mouse enter, show, text box1, if variable is equal to, 1, else, hide, text box1Action4 - on mouse exit, show text box2, if variable is equal to 2,else, hide, text box 2I did the same thing for the remaining two actions, repsectively alternating the on action (enter then exit). All text boxes were set not to initially show, so the first thing a user would see was the imagine and a phrase underneath instructing them to move cursor over image. This did not accomplish what I want which what you described earlier. The fourth action which would have been for the second text box I wanted to appear did not respond when the condition was set as above, but would respond if set as action 3. It was strange to say the least. I had the logic in my head I just could not get it programmed correctly in Lectora. I did copy, paste and reuse actions, perhaps that was the problem. Although in each case I verified that the actions where programmed as stated above.
