I have a trigger attached to the slide start timeline event on the Slide Master. the trigger "executes" a Javascript function.
function sayIt (message){ alert(message); }
On one of the content slides I have a graphic that also has a trigger set to the start timeline event for that graphic
sayIt("this is the message")
But the alert message never appears.
I noticed the two javascript calls are encapsulate into other functions (script1 and script2) within the user.js file that Storyline creates. Do I need to move my function outside of this wrapper?
The scope is unreachable since the function is called within another function. To reach it you'll need to declare your function at a higher level. Try this on your master:
window.sayIt=function(message){
alert(message);
}
This should declare your function with a scope hoisted to the top.

Thanks, Steve! Just curious I read that jQuery is part of the Storyline javascript engine. Could I also attach my function to the jQuery object $. ?
You might be able to do that for the HTML5 output. Won't work at all for the Flash output since the library isn't loaded.
