HTML5 output issue: Adjust variable when state of object is...

Hi Chere,

Without seeing how your course is set up, knowing how you're accessing the course, and testing - it's difficult to confirm this is a bug. 

Are you able to share the .story file for your project here, so we might take a look?

Also, if you could let us know how you're publishing (Web, LMS) and what web browser(s) and versions you're using, that would be helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks for looking at this Christine.  I published to Web, ticked off all options (HTML5, offline) and viewed it in Chrome on a PC.  To test the file, click on each Check button, then click Submit.  Do this 4 times until all the Check buttons are in the Done state (background is now grey).  Once all 4 have changed to this state, the trigger says to adjust the 'allRated' variable to True.

Hi Chere,

It looks like the issue lies with the custom state of "Done" for some reason, triggering this doesn't change the variable, so the layer never shows. 

However, if you change the state to a built-in state, say "Disabled" for example, it works just fine in HTML5. 

This would go ahead and gray out your buttons, similar to your custom "Done" state as well.

I made these changes to the file you shared and published:

Flash

HTML5

I've also attached the modified file.

Please let me know if this works on your end.

Thanks!

Hi Chere,

Your trigger should work in html5 output, but for some reasons it is not. In this situation, Christine's solution of using disabled state makes sense. 

However, it is still possible to change the value of allRated variable based on DONE state of all four buttons. I was able to do that in two different ways. First solution is attached.

Thanks

And here is the second one. I did test both on iPad (Using Safari) and both worked for me. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Luck.

Christine,

For the benefit of those reading this post for their own HTML5 issues, I wanted to point out that your solution to use a built-in button state works if you choose "Disabled" state.  But it did not work when I used the "Selected" state.  Clarification - the variable changes but then the trigger to show a layer when the variable changes did not work.  All triggers work when I use the Disabled state.

Interesting!

Thanks for pointing that out, Chere :) and thanks for the additional information. 

I wonder if the disabled state is the only one that works in multiple environments. I had tested in Google Chrome, and only with that state.
