Does the Storyline have any standard variable?

Nov 12, 2012

I have trouble to find some standard variables such as Current Slide, Date and Time, Name of a slide etc.  Anyone knows where to find them?

There are no exposed variables, but you could pull date and time from a javascript variable

And there are lots of creative solutions for finding out the slide number using variables


Hi Phil, Thanks for the prompt reply. I guess this must be asked before but could you tell me a easy way to record the slide number?

I normally create a variable (SlideNumber) then on each slide use a adjust variable trigger and assign the value of that slide.

It is manually numbering them really but that was the last solution I came up with


Yes, I thought about that as well. I think because the module is not linear, it must be hard to give a slide a fixed number. However, do you know anything about jumping to a slide based on a dynamic variable, such as slide names? Cheers
