On the Community Tutorials: How to create a progress meter for your course, as described in the video, I believe there would be a problem when a user visits the same activity more than once. If all we are doing it increasing a single “progress meter” variable each time a continue button – any continue button – is clicked, then clicking the same continue button more than once will advance the variable.
Would another method be to set up an individual true/false variables for each continue button, then on the main menu, have a master progress variable that counts the Trues?
Hi Jim – That’s a good point. There are a few ways to approach this type of project Did you see Mike’s follow-up post in the forums: http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/26391.aspx?
