States won't display correctly

HI Lisa;

I'm not sure what was wrong;

I didn't do much on your file; I've just moved the trigger up and it started working;

triggers orders matters but in this case doesn't really apply;

Storyline mysteries I guess;

let me know if you find the real reason;

bye.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's been driving me nuts for weeks now. I tried shuffling the order as you did, and low and behold.  It works. This is most definitely a Storyline mystery.

Hi Lisa,

There is a reason why your triggers were not working. With your incorrect triggers you have used OR when you should have used AND in the conditions.

For example, with the potatoes you have said that it is incorrect if the answer is not equal to 720 OR 720g OR 720 g and so, if any one of these are typed in, the fact that it is not equal to either of the other two will generate an incorrect answer. The reason why rearranging the triggers appears to work is because this answer is then being overwritten by the next trigger which changes the markpotato icon to Correct because 720 is a correct answer.

If you change the conditions in your incorrect triggers to AND, all the triggers will work correctly whichever order they are placed in.

I also noticed a minor error in your potatoes triggers where you had used 720g twice in the conditions. The second one presumably should be 720 g.

Thank you Ned.   I did pick up the duplication of 720g.  I did initially set the triggers to AND first and got the same result.  I switched to OR and it made no difference, which is why I stuck to OR.  But thanks for explaining it.  I'll be sure to remember to pay careful attention to AND and OR conditions.
