Text conditions and results slide
I have two issues. The first is that I have several slides where students have to submit answers in text boxes. Slides 1.10 and 1.51. I want them to enter information before moving to the next sl...
When you insert a text-entry field, SL automatically creates a TextEntry variable. When you insert another text-entry field, SL creates another variable and adds a number to its name. But the new field's name isn't numbered. So, for example, a slide with 2 new text-entry fields would look like this:
Giving objects and variables more useful names is always a good idea. Note, though, that when you change the name of an object, that does not change the name of the associated variable:
To change variable names, open the Variables window:
If you get confused about which variable belongs to which object on which slide, click the # in the Use Count column.
As you've seen, programming can get quite confusing when you don't immediately rename text-entry fields and their variables. I suggest you take the time to properly name everything, and then re-do the programming to control the Next button.
