I created a "main menu" with text boxes that hyperlink to subtopics. In PPT when you do this, the links change color once you go to the subtopic and then return to the main menu. This is not working when I publish articulate file. The links work, but when I go back to the home page, the original text hyperlink did not change color as it did when just viewing it in PPT.
My ultimate goal is to be able to display or indicate which subtopics have already been visited therefore if this PPT feature is not supported in Presenter then any other method might be acceptable.
Hi Phil- Thanks for the url to James' blog. I looked at his tutorial and, while it would probably fix my problem, I'm afraid the procedure is out of my league...I'm basically a writer who has become the designated e-learning guy.
Any update on this. This is what I am wanting also, so that the colour of the hyperlink changes to a visited colour, to indicate the user has already looked at that link. Would I need to do a product feature request for this, or has it been fixed?

Hi Chris
Sorry this is not supported in articulate, you can pass variable in flash using code at James blog,
Phil
This question sound like the one I just posted. Apparently I am out of luck, as is Chris.
Phil...what do you mean by "code at James blog."? Where is it?
Thanks-
Jon
Hi Jon
James has a blog here http://frameentered.com/content/track-flash-variables-across-multiple-articulate-slides-screenr-screencast
By using variables and flash you can create a menu that when you come back the item you have visited, changes colour

Hi Frances! This still holds true for Presenter '13 as well. You are welcome to submit a feature request if you'd like.
