color:#1F497D'>I’d use decision icons, set to randomUnused to present the
questions – then there’s no need to randomise your arrays. Pick out each
question using icon.parentNode.index() or similar, with a page on the deision
for each question – but you’ll make those with duplicate(). You will still
need to build some arrays for sec1Questions, sec2Questions though. I might be
tempted to make those arrays of xmlNodes rather than the bits of templateData.
You can get the pre-XML2Object xml from your file with the variable extXML. I’d
loop over that, picking out your nodes and adding them to your arrays, then use
those arrays to drive your code.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

which questions are for lesson 1, which are for lesson 2, etc. Once the student

This test will be comprised of all of the questions for all of the lessons,

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:72.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:blue'>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:72.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:72.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:blue'>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>
