Storyline hangman demo

Hi folks,
I just created a simple hangman-type interaction for a quiz I'm creating about the city of Leeds, for students new to the University of Leeds.
Strangely, I had never ever used the hangman quiz slide function but I found myself wanting to build something similar in Storyline. It took less than half an hour (though admittedly the design needs some work!)
Another example of how Storyline will let you do pretty much anything you want!

Love it, Jade! Great job!
That's pretty amazing that only took 30 minutes. Great job, Jade!
This is so cool!
That's great!
Hi Jade, This is great....If you don't mind would you share with us how you achieved this. i would love to incorporate something like this in my courses.
Love it, Jade. Like Sid, would be really interested in a breakdown of how you did it.
Jade, this i really neat! I am also very interested in how you did it. Great Job!
The large correct answer letters in the middle of the screen all have initial state as hidden. There are 26 individual text boxes at the bottom for the alphabet; all of the wrong answer letters add 1 to a numeric variable (called "wrong"), and changes their state to "clicked", which has a line through to mark as having been selected. Clicking on the correct answer letters change the state of the relevant large letters to normal.
The hangman pieces are also initial state hidden. They are each set to change state to normal when the "wrong" variable reaches a certain number. I.e. the first piece changes to visible when wrong=1; the second when wrong=2 and so on.
There are rather a lot of triggers.
Here is the source file if you'd like a peek.
Hi Jade
That's really great - wonderful job.

When I click the letter A seven times in a row, hangman hangs himself. Need to do more work to make letters only clickable once.
When I click TRY AGAIN, then game works in that each letter only able to be clicked once BUT no hangman appears.
Other than these small issues - like idea and will certainly try it out.
Thanx.
Nice idea but you are running into the same issue that has plagued Power Point for years and years; rewind. I.e. the first time you play an animation it works perfectly but then if you return to a previously animated slide, the animation does not work. Odd because the code should have been converted into flash. If you really want this type of game, I would suggest building in Flash or possibly HTML + Java Scripting.
Nice work, Jade!
Hi Jade,
I would also be really interessted in your hangman version - but I can't find the file anymore. Is it possible to have a look at yours?
Tank you in advance. Barbara
Hi Barbara!
Apologies for that; I've moved jobs recently so no longer have access to the space I originally had it. Try this link for the demo, and download from here.
Thanks for sharing! I also love the way you made the player seem to "disappear". Great work!
Thanks Jade. I've been waiting for the update. Last time I viewed this was on December, and the link seems to be broken then.
Jade,
Such nice work!
I get a crazy looking screen when I click on the download posted on April 11th, is it just my browser? I would love to review the source file if I could.
