Variables randomly resetting in Lectora X?
January 21, 2010 12:00 AM
I've confirmed it's not an X issue. I exported to XML and then imported it into a version 9 machine. I cleared my cookies and took the course again. Some of the variables failed once again.
I'll try the debug option, Dwayne. Thanks for that nugget. I'm a little confused, because it's not just user-defined variables that is the problem. Quiz variables have failed in this project.
To give a more detailed list of events:
1.Page 1 has four quiz questions and a button to continue. The quizzes' variables are Quiz01, Quiz02, Quiz03, Quiz04.
2. Page 2 has four more quiz questions and a button. Variables are Quiz05, Quiz06, Quiz07, Quiz08.
3. Page 3 has four more quiz questions and a button. Variables are Quiz09, Quiz10, Quiz11, Quiz12.
4. The next page sets a RawScore variable to 0.
5. There are actions to add 1 to RawScore if Quiz01 Is Correct, Quiz02 Is Correct, etc.
6. The score is displayed, with a button to review questions.
7. The next page shows the first question.
8. The text box that says "(Loading)" is replaced by the Quiz01 variable.
9. Steps 7 and 8 are repeated for each subsequent question
What bothers me is in step 8. When an answer is registered--right or wrong--the text box contents are replaced with the text of the choice. If the action never fired, then it would still say "(Loading)". If Quiz01 had a choice selected, then the text box contents would be replaced with that. If Quiz01 were not answered, then the text box contents would be replaced by a blank...and that's exactly what's happening.
We'll try the debugging route, since that could possibly be an issue with some of our variables, but I'm really a bit perplexed about the quiz variables, which should be set as soon as the radio button is clicked. There are no actions to reset the quiz in this title.
