My problem is as follows

I have twenty pages of questions that I want to show randomnly but only once.

How can i get the page list to stop and goto a finish score page when all twenty questions have been answered.

I generate the page list by using gotopage random from a start page, then i use the next random......is this correct

Thanks

Karl

Karl,

Create a publication variable called PAGE_ON. This can be activated on the button you use to go to your first random question. Now add a page action to each question page that adds 1 to the variable PAGE_ON and a if action that when PAGE_ON equals 20 it goes to you designated page.

Note: computers start the count at 0.

I have done the following but I am sure that i have gone wrong somewhere as my button action does not go to the next random page.

Can you help

Karl,

try using Else instead of the second If statement

If (PAGE_ON = 20) then
Go to Page "Score Page plus Percentage(2)"

Else Go to Page <Next Random>

When using IF, if the condition is not meet " =, less than, greater than, true or false, etc" you have to tell the program what you want it to do. This is where you would use Else.

(attached image shows what I have use)

Hi Karl,

Leo is absolutely right to use 'else'.

However so you know "why" your actions were wrong, refer to the screenshot...

In yours, where you have:

if <PAGE_ON> is less than 20

...it is actually nesting from the first "if" condition, so it can only work when the first "if" condition PAGE_ON value equals 20.

Simply move the "if" condition, so it is not nested. (as demonstrated in the second part of the screenshot)

Using "else" as Leo said, is the logical thing to do, as then if the "if condition" is anything other than the value of '20' it will then trigger.
