Dial Activity Reset
The first problem is that there are two dial variables, Dial1 and Dial11. The Dial setting says it is using the Dial1 variable, but when you check the variable usage, Dial11 thinks it is being referenced by Dial1. Because it is in use, it can't be deleted. I went to the Design of the Dial, set it to reference Dial11, then set it back to Dial1. That released Dial11, and I could delete it. The system started working, with (in my mind), one slight problem. It never stops. As soon as one layer ends the next one begins. The learner can never stop, back up, or even move the dial. If that's what you want, that's fine, and you're ready to go. I think that if you are going to use the dial, you probably want the learner to move it. To allow that, you need to go to each layer, and delete the trigger that sets the dial to the next number. That gives the learner the ability to pause between layers, or even go back and repeat one if necessary. (if you leave that trigger on Step5 layer, it will automatically advance to the next slide. Otherwise, it just sets the Next button to Normal.)
I also set the Dial to start at 0, and added Elizabeth's two suggestions, and I think it acts like you want.
Walt, I do want the user to move the dial and it not to move automatically. I went to each layer and followed your suggestion, but it still move on it's own. It wasn't before I changed it to Dial 1 instead of Dial 11. Can't figure this out. HELP
