There.s got to be a better way to do this

CDC:First of all you want to follow Ben's lead with the graphics idea. Make sure all of the graphics that represent the states are the same size so that you can have an action on the host primary graphic to change to another graphic if a condition is met (change content to finished if variable = done). That way when the graphics swap out they remain in proportion.Your situation is a little more difficult as you have THREE states to track, but it can be done.Your first state tracking image placed on the page, ALWAYS visible with NO ACTIONS appied, should be the 'NOT ATTEMPTED' graphic.Directly on top of that, initially invisible, should be your 'STARTED, BUT INCOMPLETE' graphic. This will be your host primary graphic that will be swapped out after the user completes the section. It should have TWO actions on it; one to make it visible once the user enters that section/chapter, and a second to swap out the graphic when the user completes the section/chapter.You'd a variable for every Chapter or Section, set to 'a' when started and 'z' when finished.There's probably a more refined way to approach it, with an iterative variable or something but this will work. You'll probably need to initiate each variable to its own value though at the root of the course (on show chapOneVar = VAR(chapOneVar). Try ti out and let me know what happens.
