I am experimenting with a course where I ask the learners to supply priorities in order via text entries. Later, I want to present their original priorities from the text entry variables and allow them to rearrange them if they choose using sequence drag-n-drop. Unfortunately, SL doesn't want to parse the variables so the d-n-d just shows the variable references, eg. %TextEntry1%.
I would love to find out if anyone has a workable solution to this.
Here is the solution I came up with for achieving the original interaction idea. The downside is that I have not actually met the challenge as presented above so that is still open.
I ended up using more variables and triggers than I had hoped: 16 and eight, respectively. The upside is that I gained the ability to story both the original priorities and the rearranged ones for further use. A sample story file is attached. Perhaps someone will find this useful.
