How to collate selected objects from 3 slides into one new slide

Hi Carolyn,

It is possible. It takes a little bit of work with variables. I've created a mock-up on how to do it. If you need any help figuring out how I did it let me know.

Hi Cary

That's really kind of you, unfortunately I'm working with Storyline 1 rather than 2. Is there any way of making the file backward compatible?

Sorry there isn't any backwards compatibility. Here is what you need to do.

1. Create a True/False variable for each selectable object and set it to false.
2. Create a trigger to change the variable to true when each object is clicked.
3. Copy and paste each object onto the final slide and set them to hidden.
4. Create a trigger on each object on the final slide to:
   1. Action: Change state of
   2. On Object: the object
   3. To State: Normal
   4. When: Timeline States
   5. Object: Slide
   6. On Condition: Variable Name == Equal to True

I hope this helps.

Thanks. The issue I think I will have is that the total number of objects over the 3 pages won't all fit on the final slide, or am I miss reading what you've put?

What I did is align the images from the first slide on top of each other. Then I did the same for each of the other slides I just placed them on another part of the slide. See the attached image.

sorry, I think I'm being a bit dim! I have done something similar before, but in this case does it not mean that if the user picks 4 objects out of 10 on the first slide, these four objects will be top of each other on the final slide?

I realise that in my original post I didn't make it clear that the user can pick any number of objects from each of the three slides. I think I've probably wasted your time, sorry!

Thanks so much for your suggestions, Cary! And no worries, Carolyn -- someone else may have a similar question, or could find this thread useful in the future! :)

I have the same questions, even after 6 years!
