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 . . . :)
--------------------------------------------
of course, if you want to find out nuanced levels of interest you could do this:
on mouseOver
put "Vaguely Interested" into fld "fTOUCH"
end mouseOver
on mouseDown
put "Slightly More Interested" into fld "fTOUCH"
end mouseDown
on mouseUp
put "Definite Interest" into fld "fTOUCH"
end mouseUp
--Remind me not to get too porno--
on scrollBarDrag
put "Stroking My Thighs" into fld "fTOUCH"
end scrollBarDrag

Anyone played with this before?
Played with what? Now I'm beginning to get worried.
