Too many variables for the scene to load?
Hello,
So I have this assignment where I'm making a payslip where the user has to enter the correct numbers into the different fields. If the number is incorrect, the field turns red, and green if...
Hi Melisa. It seems that SL is being overwhelmed by the number of boxes/shapes used to create the pay slip. With the help of SL's built-in Table feature, and just one additional shape for the last column on the far-right side, I was able to recreate the pay slip and preview the new slide.
A few things to note:
- In order to get the rows to the appropriate height, I had to set every cell to a font size of 2. This means that you won't be able to type directly into the cell, but you wouldn't want to do this anyway as you need State changes to occur, and the cells are not built for interaction.
- To make certain cells interactive or provide you the ability to trigger State changes, you'll need to create shapes (or data entry fields) that sit neatly on top of the cells (I've done one for you with cell A1 - Peter Hansen). This will also allow you to increase the font size to help with legibility.
Hope this approach works out for you!
Daniel
