<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Well,
apparently I was. I had the duplicate code in the entry frame of lesson 1, so
I guess it was executing each time I moved from page to page in lesson 1? I
moved the code to just above the interface icon (so it can only run once),
made the necessary changes to the childNodes structure, and it was still
acting funny. I then found that I had both a variable and an icon id of
'lesson1Counter' so it's no wonder it was acting inconsistently. ;o) I
fixed that and now I'm consistently getting the correct number of question
nodes.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">I
still have one problem though: it only displays one question. When I get to
the first question node, it displays the question correctly, the second node
displays the same question, and if I back up to the first question node, it's
blank. Here is the code where I get the question
number:</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN

icon.parentNode.index() - 1;</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">The
script icon with this code is the first icon in the proto Wrap Up page (what I
was calling the question node above), and the proto Wrap Up page is the
second child of the wrap up framework (the Entry Frame being the first
child), so questIndex should be 0 for the first question, and 1 for the next,
right? I'm using questIndex+1 for a page counter, and that is correctly
displaying 1 for question 1 and 2 for question 2, but the questions don't
change. Any insight on that?</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
