Next button

Hi,

In the attached file,
1. I disabled the NEXT button to ensure that user clicks all tabs.
2. Have added variables to ensure that NEXT is enabled when all tabs are clicked.
3. However, for some reason the NEXT button is still not enabled.
4. Which action needs to be corrected.
5. Kindly suggest.

You have all three buttons trying to add letter values to variables. "Add" means "the mathematical operation of summing." Since we are using regular 0-9 numbers, you can't add the letter "B" to anything.

You need to have three separate variables, and Set them to the value you want, rather than adding. (If you use just one variable, Clue 1 would set it to "A", but then the Clue 2 button would set it to "B" and it would not be "A" any more.)

Note to ELB: why not have the Publish process report an error when someone tries to add "A" to a variable? Since we aren't using hexadecimal, that's quite meaningless.

But you can of course add "B" to a variable. If the initial value was 0, it would then contain 0B. Later on you need conditions to check "If my_variable Contains B".

Assign each clue a variable, modify the variable to 1 when the learner clicks on it, show the next button when all three variables are 1.

I have used the same method to add a letter to a variable and it worked 100%. So, if you have 3 buttons, each will add A, B or C respectively to the variable. Set the condition to "if variable so and so contains A", "if variable so and so contains B"...than enable Next. Not sure what will happen if the user clicks multiple times and the variable limit is exceeded.

I mentally was working in a language like Python, where once a variable is numeric you can't add a string to it. Obviously, I should have questioned that assumption.

@drago instead of adding to the variable, set it to A. That way the learner can click on it several times and it will still be A. When all the variables have been set to the prescribed value, your next button will show.
