How to open different slides assigned to the same button?

Nov 02, 2015

Hi all,

My situation:

I simulate the software interface. Some windows of the program have two state:

- Initial (for the first opening)

- Changed (if I already opened the window once and had any activity on this)

So when I first time click the button to open the window -> Initial state opens -> I make some changes and close the window.

When I next time click the same button I expect to see "changed" state.

 

Is there any way to use counters or flags in Storyline? Or could I  assign any other way two slides to the same button and open the first one for the first click and the second one for all other clicks within the current session?

Button1 initial state = normal

Variable1 initial value = false

Slide trigger = Set button1 state to changed when timeline starts if Variable1 = true

Button1 trigger = jump to slide2 when user clicks if state of button1 is normal

Button1 trigger = jump to slide3 when user clicks if state of button1 is changed

Slide2 trigger = change variable1 to true when timeline ends

Slide2 trigger = jump to slide 1 when timeline ends

Note: the two states of button1 can look the same, or they can have different appearances, depending on what you want.

Note: the two triggers on Slide2 must be in that order to function correctly.
