Then you can use a single press button to cycle through the colors:
if Color variable is Blue run red area scene
else
if Color variable is Red run green area scene
else
if Color variable is Green run blur area scene
so every time you press the device the syste wil test the valure of th evariable and go on to run the appropriate command.
Of course there are other ways to accomplish this example more easily. I'm just using the example as a way to discuss the variable functionality
