Jeremy, thanks for your efforts with these great tutorials. I was trying to put variables into Text objects, to no avail. You put me on the right track!! Looking forward to watching the rest of your screencasts. THANKS!!!

Thanks for doing these tutorials, they’ve been incredibly useful.
Is it possible to display superscripts in Input Objects? I’m trying to make an algebra quiz using random numbers, but putting the squared in a separate text box means it ends up in the wrong place depending on the variables involved. I managed to come up with a fix that involved nested Ifs with 24 outcomes and I can’t bring myself to do another question in that way.

Thanks for the speedy response, I will take another look at the drag and drop tutorial.
Will keep you posted.

Cheers

Thanks for the positive feedback, Andy! Have you tried watching the Drag & Drop episode? That covers much of what you want to do – only with a drag and drop activity rather than text input.

hi,
I am very impressed with your video tutorials. I was hoping that you could help with a problem I am having. I am trying to achieve a text entry exercise whereby the correct answer will receive cheers and the incorect answer will recieve a weeping noise.

I have created this using If and Else statements:

If True
Then
Assign varAngel = AngelInput=”twenty”
Sound …..cheering.wav

Else
Assign varAngel = AngelInput=”"
Sound ….crying.wav

It appears that the cheering.wav file plays regardless of the entry in the text box.

I have worked in the past using Flash and actionscript but I cannot seem to make this work.

Hope that you can advise,

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
