I want to put a progress bar in my course. It will have a number of dots which have 3 different states (current, not visited, visited) and I want them to change according to a slide number but with a specific script (already visited stay that way). Here is an expample in attachment. I want to put those dots in my master and make the script change them using frame numbers. Can someone help me with that?

Hello Jay,  

I normally accomplish this by creating a variable for each slide with a default value of False.

When a learner hits a slide or milestone I want to track, I have a trigger that will change the value of that variable to True.

My progress meter will have triggers set up so that if (for example) Slide1viewed=True, change the state of image to "visited".  This will make sure that already visited slides remain that way on your progress meter.

Hope this helps!

Hi Jay,

I built this a while ago and updated it just now for you. You will have to adjust the variable "constScreenInCourse" to the number of slides you have and if you want to have more dots then you need to add them into the master slide and will have to adjust the triggers that adjust the states of the dots.
