Retrieve answers from another slide

Thank you, Lilybiri​ and @LuisXIV. I sort of combined your input.

A follow-up question though: what's the difference between creating a variable and assigning it a value of "0", versus leaving that field blank?

Hello Congo

Slide1 -- Create the question eg:

               New York City is located in the

                 USA (create a text_caption, create a variable  v_usa, value equal to USA, attach the v_usa variable to the text by using the 

                         Insert variable )

                      Next to USA  create a smart_shape, use as Button,

                      create a variable name v_usaBut, value equal to zero.

                         under Actions On Success: Execute Advanced Actions

                         Script: give the script a name, First Actions -  Increment v_usaBut by 1  , Second Actions - Go to next Slide

                Canada (see above)

see image:

Slide2 -- (create a text_caption, attach the v_usa variable)

If you are using image, the same image must be slide1 and slide2 but using different name.

Additional info will be provide later if needed.

If you have the answer as a value in a variable, it is very easy to display that value anywhere. Just insert it in a text container, using the X button in the Character part of the tet container. More details in this blog:

Discover/Use Captivate's System variables - Part 1 - Captivate blog

Beware: length of the variable is limited to about 150. You'll read in the blog how you can display more than 50 characrers, which is the default length, when inserting the variable.

If you could insert a screenshot of what you have at this moment, which actions are triggered by the buttons and exactly what the answers would be to appear on other slides?
