I've been building some interactive laserdisc
applications with Hypercard for educational
and training purposes and so far, so good.
What I don't know how to do is to build
a script which tallies your button selections
and then "grades" your decisions.
Anybody fool around with this?

I haven't tried this specific application, but I'd look at the "target" function in HyperCard which can return various properties of objects, such as the name of the button which was just clicked. You could get the name or number of the button which received a mouse-down and update a corresponding count in a container; that is, have a container which holds a summary of the responses for all the questions - each line in the container could be for a different question (treat it like an array). Please feel free to send me email directly if this quick-and-dirty response isn't clear. Mike Partridge partridg@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu CAI Laboratory University of Iowa
