Get Alt Vals and Strings from other Alt Vals and Strings

[lembi2001]

This might sound confusing from the title but it isn't, bear with me.

I have a couple of buttons in a group (neutral) and these buttons will be question buttons.

Each button has the following Alt Vals and Alt Strings:

Alterable Value A = Answer
Altrable String A = ValueToTest

I also have a number of Active Objects in the group.good. These objects all have the same number of Alterable Values (12) and each one is the answer to a specific question.

What I am hoping to achieve is a system where by i provide each button with the question when i create it. For example:

Button A has the following setup
Answer = 1
ValueToTest = B

What i want to do is this:

Group.Neutral is pressed

Check Group.Good Alterable Value(group.neutral Alterable String A) is different to (group.neutral Alterable Value A)

Does any of this make any sense? I can't think of any other way to write it.

I think I might know what you mean, but I'm not really awake right now, so I might not...

You can get an alterable value by its index: AltValN( "Active", > Enter value here <)

eg. AltValN( "Active", 2) is the same as Alterable Value C("Active")
(I haven't checked, but I'm assuming it's 0-based)

Similarly, when you're setting a value (rather than retrieving it), you can use the "use expression" button, instead of picking one from the dropdown list.

Perfect! I had to tweak the buttons to get this to work but it does. Thanks again Sketchy. I have seen your other post, on my other question, but i have not had time to look at it yet.
