How do we use the checkbox variable?

Question

I am using Cap 8. Eventually I want to set a variable to store the user's decision to play all narration automatically, or to not play the narration automatically.

A check box seems like an ideal way to let the user make this decision so I used the Checkbox widget to display only one checkbox. I successfully set the checkbox text property and entered a unique variable name (myNarrationDefault) to store the status of the checkbox. Now how do I access the variable?

I added a text field so I could show the value of that variable. However, when I try to insert a variable, I don't see the new user variable in the list. Then I tried to add an action to a button just to see if the variable shows up in that tool; it didn't.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Pete

You actually have to then create that variable you made in the interaction interface, CP doesn't do it for you, Project/Variables in the Menu at the top.

When the box is checked, the value is then assigned to the variable.
