Using a variable to show an image
April 6, 2006 12:00 AM
SirWise,We do something similiar for our menus. Each menu option has 3 states, unviewed, started and viewed. The unviewed button is empty, the started button has a red arrow and the viewed button contains a green checkmark. The viewed and started buttons are set to not initially visible. To make them show up when needed based on the users location in a module we start by initiating a menuvar, that is set to zero, with the condition it is not already set to one or two. On the menu there are three actions (one for each button state) that will show the button based on the condition of the menuvar. On the first page of the module we place an action that increments the menuvar to 1, so if the student leaves the module before it is complete the started image shows on the button. On the last page of the module we set the menuvar to 2 which will show the completed (green checkmark) button when the menu is displayed again. Set up a menuvar and the 3 action commands for each menu option you have. Hope this helps.Shawn
