Variable - Not working

Think this trigger through for a minute.

Do you really want to set the value of the variable Character to 1 if the value of the variable Character is already 1?

Two suggestions. When troubleshooting, walk through every step of a trigger, and ask what does this cause the system to do, and is that what I want?

This confusion is probably caused by using "Character" for the name of both the variable, and the image. Try names that can't be easily confused, like "characterVariable" and "characterImage".

Once you get the names straightened out, instead of

,

 try

Set state of characterImage to state 3

When the timeline starts on this slide

If characterVariable = 3

Make the same changes for the names and triggers on the settings, then on the base of slide 1.6, give the oval different states, like you did for image9.emf.

Finally, go to each audio layer, and delete image9.emf and the oval, so that the changes on the base layer can be seen.
