System Message Box ???
in [Authorware]
|
From: Rodimus_Prime on 25 Jan 2008 08:04 I'm trying to set up a system message box that comes up after a user enters in some text. If what they typed in equals a stored system variable, then it comes up to warn them. Is there a way to have the message box display a variable. I want it to say, "Sorry, the term {system variable entered by user} already exists". I've tried playing around with the equals sign, quotation marks, brackets etc, but can't get it to work. Any suggestions would be awesome, thanks

"Sorry, the term "^sys_var_name^" already exists" Chris Forecast

From: Erik **AdobeCommunityExpert** on 25 Jan 2008 12:06 Chris's reply is correct and pretty much the only way to do it. If your user enters a term, like 'happy go lucky', where are you storing that term? Whatever variable stores that term is what needs to come between the ^carats^ to concatenate it to the rest of "the text" "Sorry, the term "^your_variable^" already exists" Erik Rodimus_Prime wrote: > Maybe I used the wrong words.

Users cannot create variables in a packaged file, though you could fake this with a property list. HTH; Amy
