Is this a valid way using variables to trigger section completion?

Aug 06, 2012

The module I'm working has the basic layout of Intro - 5 sections - End of Module. I want them to be able to choose to go in any order of the 5 sections, as long as they have gone through each of the 5 sections.

I set up my triggers as follows on the last slide of each section to look like this -

For some reason, when I've had people test it, people are being sent to the end of module screens (9.1 Summary of AUP) when they have only gone to 3 or 4 sections.

Anyone have a guess as to why this is happening? I have things fairly locked down and a few people have told me they didn't go to the last slides and jump around. Also, on the slide 1.3, the buttons change state and add a checkmark to show they've visited a section.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Phil. Looking at your story, I am creating a menu slide with lock.

I made a duplicate of my story file, and dumped my menuNUM variables and switched to the True/False variable.

I noticed that you put the Set....equal to true when the user clicks the next button.

Will it still work for me if I do Set APdone equal to true when the timeline starts (on the last slide of the section)?

Phil, Javascript isn't a skill of mine, so pardon the ignorance. In the 3rd set of tabs, I'm not clear on the distinction between Name, NewName & WholeName and how that all figures into what the final slide is supposed to show.
