Intro 

This short blog post is created to answer a question in the Adobe forum about clicking an interactive object with multiple attempts. After two wrong clicks, the Retry message should be replaced by a Hint message. There are multiple workflows possible, but I tried with this simple solution to use as much of the existing features as possible.  The Hint will be only text. A more elaborate solution could be a Hint where the text is accompanied with a highlight box and/or other graphical elements.

For new users creating this example is a good introduction to:

  • creating and using variables
  • creating an advanced action with 1 and 2 decisions
  • difference between a non-conditional and a conditional decision in an advanced action
  • using a Reset action
  • creating dynamic feedback messages

It is a non-responsive project, published as Scalable HTML.

Workflow, step-by-step will be posted in a blog post.
