- Don,
-
- I used a calculation icon within an interaction icon to do
- this. The calculation icon was "active if condition
- "IconTitle=so and so" is TRUE. Then, within the calculation
- icon, I used "GoTo(IconID@"whatever"&IconID@"whatever else")"
-
- Try this or some configuration similar and see what works. I
- found the error trapping capabilities of AuthorWare to be MOST
- helpful in trying various schemes...most of the time the error
- trapping just wouldn't let me mess up things too badly. Good
- luck and let me know how it goes.
-
- I think your idea about a venue for sharing problems/questions
- about AuthorWare is a good one. EdTech may be just the place to
- locate folks with this interest.
