A variable represents a value that can change--such as the amount of time a user has spent in an interaction, the percentage of questions in a test that a student has answered correctly, or whether a digital movie is currently playing. Think of a variable as the address on a mailbox: The address (variable name) is always the same, but the contents (variable value) can change under certain conditions.
There are two types of variables: system variables, which are built into Authorware, and custom variables, which you create yourself.
For specific procedures, see System Variables.
