Question

Clicking a button using a second button to use the code that is behind it.

Here is an image of software that I am writing (as a teacher) to generate questions for my students.

The button next to the questions has been pressed to show the question. It is coded with Javascript in Animate. 

Is there a way that I can code the START button at the top to simulate the pressing of the question button. In the end what I am aiming to do is to click the start button, then one by one the buttons down the side are clicked after a time delay, by only pressing the start button

I just want to have to avoid recoding if possible and just automate the clicking of the buttons so that they questions are revealed with a time delay.

If any one can help with this pretty vague request, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

    you should be able to do that with a couple if statements. The other option is you have 2 buttons that sits on top of each other and you just make them go away by the visibility. This way when you click a button it would disappear and a new button would appear and vice-versa.

    I'll follow these up as well as the previous suggestion - looks like I have a path forward. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will let you know how I go.

    Without understanding the code, I can only suggest a possible solution. For instance, isolating the function that is called when the question button is pressed and then calling that function after the delay.

    Thank you - I will have a go at that over the weekend and see what I can do. I can get the code to you if i can't sort it our myself. Thanks for your help.
