Since lockdown, we have been really busy! I haven't really had the time or inclination to do these challenges. This one is something I'd been thinking about for a while though, so it prompted me to just add a very simple line of text to our footer bar. I used the built-in variables: Scene.SlideNumber and Scene.TotalSlides.
I think this might be a change I'll implement for all future projects, as it must be pretty frustrating not knowing how far through each module you are.

EDIT: I suddenly decided I wanted to have a go at making some kind of progress bar to go with the slide numbers. I'll probably end up using one or the other. Does anyone have a preference? For AT users, maybe slide numbers work better but a lot of people like something visual.

- This looks great Nicki, the one thing to do if you are going to use the slider as a progress bar; place a transparent shape above it so the slider is not clickable.
- Alexander, you gave me this advice when I first started posting in the challenges and I haven't forgotten it ever since then. I recall you suggesting this when I tried video for the first time. Best advice ever!
- Thanks for that tip. I hadn't thought about that. I've done that now and it does stop the progress bar being used as a clickable object.
- Cool idea on the slider as a progress bar! Just increase the variable and it's done ;)
- Thanks! You don't need to increase the variable. It's one of the built in ones so it does it all by itself. Bonus!
- I never remember to use a slider like this. Thank you for posting it because it's a great device.
- Love the purple Nicki, and the slider is a great idea!
Yes, cover the slider! I once used a dial as a timer, and forgot to cover it, so... it didn't really work :)
