Click a button Show a layer..easy right? Nope not for me :(

Hi Christina,

I believe I was able to accomplish what you're asking. Here's what I did (step-by-step):

1. Create variable "Name" with type = text and no default value
2. Insert menu > Data Entry > select Text Entry
3. Click and drag out text entry box
4. In the triggers window, look for "Text Entry". Highlight and edit that variable.
5. In the trigger wizard that opens, set variable to "Name" and click Ok.
6. Create layer or page where you want the name to appear again.
7. On that layer/page insert a text box that contains the reference "%Name%" and any other text you'd like to appear.
8. Insert a button and add a trigger to either show layer or jump to slide where you'd like name to display.

To the user it would look like the submit/save button is saving the changes but really as soon as they enter their name and "control loses focus" on that text entry field the variable changes.

I hope this works for you. There's also a great tutorial: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/adding-text-variables.aspx if you need more info.

Hi Christina! Looks like Lesley has popped in to assist you here

Thanks!

Hi Lesley - I believe i had done what your saying - however, the layer that I want to show up when the user clicks the button never appears... its odd - and its probably something simple....

also - could there be something else on another layer that would be causing the layer not to show?

Thanks again!
