Returning to a slide with a section marked as 'complete'

Storyline makes this relatively easy. It is possible to grab completion values using a custom Flash movie as well. If you don't get an answer by this evening, I'll post some sample code.

Hi Mellisa

We did this in studio tracking a variable across slides, the files were built to be reused but are far from easy to use.  If I get time I can record a screenr on how to use them and post the files.

The other way to do it is to make the course look like is is free to navigate but each section actually unlocks the last, thereby giving the illusion of freedom

Hi Steve and Phil,

Thanks so much for your feedback!

I can't use Storyline for this lesson :(. Sample code if you've got it would be great!  We're also using a custom Articulate skin, so I'm looking into having the programmer adjust the skin's menu so that screen titles change color once viewed.

Hi, Melissa - 

This should get you pointed in the right direction:

var ArtAPI = _level0.ArtAPI;

var presData = ArtAPI.GetPresentationData();

var strID = presData.Slides[0].Slide[i]._attributes.id;

var viewed:Number = _level44.g_oTrackingInfo[strID].arrViews.length;

if (viewed >0) {

 //if the slide has been viewed, do some kind of magical magic

}

You'll want to modify this to run for as many slide checks as you need to query. Replace the i in ...Slide[i]... with the value in your entire structure you want to check for. It's zero based so the first slide will be 0.

Is there a sample somewhere to show how to do this in Storyline.  It would be great to have sections marked as complete if a test was completed and passed, if not simply having viewed all of the slides in a section.   Thanks,

Hey Jim,

See if this thread and screencast help give you what you want (compliments of Phil)...
