What am I doing wrong here?

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   if grpA1 = correctAnswer then
  add 5 to field "fldCorrect"
else
   add 5 to field "fldWrong"
   end if
end mouseUp

Need to know what grpA1 and correctAnswer is.
Otherwise it's perfect.

I'll link to my master piece

Button Next:

Code: Select all

global gScore,correctAnswer
on mouseUp
   put the hilitedButtonName of group "grpA1" into gScore
   put 2 into correctAnswer
   go next
end mouseUp

Button Grade Quiz

Code: Select all

global gScore,correctAnswer
on mouseUp
   if gScore = correctAnswer then
  add 5 to field "fldCorrect"
else
   add 5 to field "fldWrong"
   end if
end mouseUp

Ok, so you have to store information somewhere that is what the globals are for. correctAnswer and gScore must be filled before you do a comparison. (if gScore = correctAnswer then)

I suggest you go through the video's here:

Ah, I think I understand what you're saying. I'll give it another whirl and continue my LC education. It's a rather slow process for me.

I'd be happy to take a look, too. But the link to your stack didn't work.

be well,

Simon's input helped greatly.

I took the stack down, will update it later.
