**Project objective:** to mark visually where a learner has been in a course (while the course is open–not to save for another visit to the course). **Set up:** There will be a main menu with 6 module buttons. The learner will click on say the Module 1 button and Module 1 will be loaded (loadMovie). Once the learner has completed the module and returns to the main menu a check mark will appear on the screen next to the Module 1 button. **Question:** How should I set this up? I currently have a “background” swf that when the next button is clicked the Main menu loads onto Level 1 and when the Module 1 button is clicked the Main menu unloads and Module 1 is loaded into Level 1 but I think that is not going to work because when I unload Module 1 and reload the Main menu and then unload the Main menu to load Module 2 the check mark will go away and the check mark will now show up next to the Module 2 button upon reloading the Main menu. So first I need help thinking through how to have the main menu and still load and unload the 6 modules. Then I need to know what code to use that will remember which modules the learner has visited. I would appreciate any help that can be provided. I am more of a graphic artist then a programmer and this is stretching me a bit. :eek: :wt: Thanks!
