I am using scrollbars (sliders) to obtain ratings on a series of topics.
Obviously, I need to have the default position of the slider at zero or at some 
mid point.  Is there an alternative to that?

Also, a problem with sliders is you can't tell when people are simply satisfied 
with the default position for an item and when they forgot to answer that item.

Anyone know of a visible attribute change that would indicate that the person 
at least touched the slider? (e.g.  on mouseUp)

"I touched it" Latrine in "Robin Hood, Men in Tights"


I know I can check for untouched sliders by using a variable and then prompt 
them to rate those  items or change a graphic, etc. , but was wondering if 
there is a visual attribute that can be changed.

Better go for a mouseDown rather than a mouseUp, as the punter (whoops, "end-user")
might slide their pointer off the control when they change their mind.

I just mocked up a stack containing a slider and a fld "fTOUCH" and put this into
the script of the slider:

on mouseDown
   "put "Touched Me!" into fld "fTOUCH"
end mouseDown

rocket-science it ain't . . .  :)

Anyone played with this before?

Thanks,
Ron
