<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>I had exactly the same problem when I first tried to use a conditional/calculated path and Julian helped me out with similar guidance. I think it's worth repeating the context of all this - Xerte is a fantastic tool with great potential and improvements happening all the time. But there isn't some big commercial team behind it's development. The fact that some bits are not yet in the help file or documented elsewhere are far outweighed by what is already there and the speed at which Julian provides support via this list. I'm sure this community will grow quite rapidly as more people get to grips with it and perhaps minimise the support any one individual needs to provide. I'm guilty of benefitting from posts without responding to very many myself due to time contraints etc but I might have a bit more time on my hands soon so will try and do my bit.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=531481018-23062008><FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2>I didn't find calculate as an option for the branch property in the help, so I had left it as sequential. After setting that to calculate, and removing the curly braces from the path property, it is working fine now. I also found that the path property is zero-based, so the first branch is path 0, the second is path 1, etc. I thought that might be the case, but now I know for sure.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=2>Julian might correct me but a couple of thoughts...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>1. when you set the path property of the decision icon it's not {path} just path</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>2. you also need to set the branch property to calculate</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>The pause and erase settings will also make a difference to what you actually see on screen but I'm sure you're aware of that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2><FONT face=tahoma size=2>HTH</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I'm trying to branch using a Decision icon's path property, and I'm not sure how to go about it. Can the path property take an expression or variable? I'm using a variable determined in a script icon for the path:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>if (score < 90) {</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2> path = 1;</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>} else {</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2> path = 2;</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>}</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>and entering {path} for the path property of the Decision icon, but I seem to go down the first branch no matter what path equals. What is the correct way to do this?</FONT></P>
