NEXT object to appear after answering question correctly
  View type:
hope someone can help

I built text questions in a slide by slide format. The object NEXT button is on each slide. It is "X" out when the question appears, but then the student can click NEXT before the question is successfully answered. I would like the object NEXT to be "X" out until the student answers the question correctly. how do i do that???

thanks in advance for anyones help
 
Not so tricky..
This is the outline you should be able to fill in the gaps...
Set up a variable in the module, eg answered
Add your 'goto next object' button and hide it on page open.
Also set your variable to 0
Add the question to the page and open its properties, in the scoring tab add your variable and make it's value 1 when the question has been answered.
Now add an action to the question using actions something like 'on attempt', 'IF "your variable name" = 1', Display your goto next frame object.
That should work

Oh did you notice the other actions associated with the question that will allow you to react to the responses in ways not hard wired into the question object itself? A handy set of tools once you know they are there to add very customised feedback to events.
 
 
hi Nick...thank you......are you available for consulting on course lab...would like to chat about other features within course lab with you.
 
 
 
I forgot another way to do this... If you look at the actions available for the prebuilt questions you'll notice there are some triggered by the events within the question itself. If you disable say the built in feedback (using the questions properties) you can define something else like a pop up, movie or any other supported event. Most people probably haven't seen these as the standard options are usually quite sufficient.
I mostly do web coding & recoding so am pretty happy with java & PHP. It's more a hobby thing these days but I do contract odds and ends for a few web companies when they get too busy or want a different take on things. I think I got the expert tag here because I'm relatively active on the forum.
If you've got any queries feel free to push them to me and I'll see what I can do.
