To my fellow Authorware
developers, you'll find some free models and samples here as well as
some products that I have produced for sale. Check out the Links page for other
great Authorware sites. Note: I've converted my old AW5 models to 6.5. If you
need an older version contact me and I'll see if I still have it.

How
well do you know Authorware. Download this free game and test yourself!
This is a jeopardy style game that will test your knowledge on Authorware
6. It is played by a single person. The questions are true/false, multiple
choice or involve the student performing an action. (1024x768, Packaged
4.6M) If you don't get a good score, maybe you need the Authorware
for Beginners tutorial. (Note: this is not the same game as is available
in my "Games" page.)
This is a collaborative project by the Authorware
Community. Steve Howard is hosting the FAQ's. In addition to going to his
site to find answers to your questions, you should also go there to share
your solutions. This is an ongoing, under development project. Click on
Authorware Web Delivery when you get to Steve's site.
Nick Latif (nicklatif@yahoo.com) created
this great tool.
Have you ever had to run a packaged piece that has a "problem"
and hopelessly guess what might be going on "under the hood"
because you can't "see" certain variables/values? Or you constantly
add/delete temporary debug display icons all over the place while fine-tuning
your code? Nick's program will fire up a perpetual interaction that lists
ALL variables in your piece, then clicking on one in the list displays
the current value. A text entry field is preset with whichever variable
you clicked, so you can fire off evalassign statements to "on the
fly"
change variable settings or affect some navigation.
Ramon Morales created this Database driven
quiz template. Feature List:
1. There is only one type of question. All questions (True False,Single
Choice and Multiple Select) are handled the same way.
2. Questions, Distractors and Answers are all handled via an Access database.
3. Backgrounds (Corporate, Consumer, Educational) can be changed byaltering
the value in a single variable.
4. Both Questions and Distractors can be displayed in either a Randomor
Non Random Manner.
5. Questions with more than one correct answer can be scored on either
a partial credit or all or nothing basis.

This routine
will let your students set a mark at any spot in the course and notate it.
It also allows for deleting of marks. You can use this in place of the "Resume"
feature to mark where the student left off. (A65 source code, 200K)
Do you ever need
to draw a box based on RGB values? Here's how to do it. You can also use
this to draw a color and then find a matching color in the Authorware palette.
(A6 source code, 10K)
There are time you
want to simulate a form where the user does not have to press enter, tab
or some other key to get out of a field (as the text entry interaction requires).
This example shows you how to set up a form like that using keypress and
lists. (A65 source code, 22K zipped)
This is one type
of glossary that I have used. It allows the user to click on a letter of
the alphabet and the words for that letter display. Then they click on a
word for the definition. (A65 source code, 156K zipped)
Making
of a CBT
Learn how to create a computer based training
program.
Two different ways
of accomplishing numeric entries. One shows Social Security Numbers and
puts in the dashes. The other is a percent. (A65 source code, zipped 15K)
Here's
a great Menu routine that lets the user right click anywhere on the screen
and it brings up the buttons for the modules/lessons. This was created by
Anand Rao, New Delhi,India, cra_rao@yahoo.com (A5 Source code, zipped 46K)
This will check
your screen resolution at the beginning of a program and alert the user
if it is the wrong one. It also explains how to reset it. (A65 source code,
7K zipped)
Sound
Controls
I have
two routines that controle sound.
1. Toggle sound with
on and off buttons. (A65 source
code, 84K )
2. Pause, play and
rewind sound as well as adjust volume. Gary Smith's Budwav.u32 is included
in this zip file but please see http://www.mods.com.au/
for his programs. (A65 source code,
105K )
A
simple variation and more interactive way of presenting a True/False question
in an interaction. It uses the slider and a judging routine to determine
if the correct answers were given. (A65 source code, 40K)
Ever wanted to do
a text entry where the user didn't have to press Tab or Enter to get out
of it. Say you just wanted them to click out of the field or go on to another
page? This model will show you how to do that. (13K A6 source code)

Lottery with this Instant Lottery Ticket Program. If you're a winner you

With AW 6.5 you can now use variables in interactions such
as Text Entry, Buttons, Pulldown menus, Keypress. This model shows an example
of each. It also shows how the new Exit command works. (A6.5 source code,
25K)
Which
Xtras should I use? These
were developed for version 5 and are not that different for versions 6 and
6.5. The later versions might have more xtras but this shows you the basics.
