I see from here and here that Storyline 2 supports Javascript but most examples I've seen have been about writing data to a file, sending an email or storing the data in a google sheet.
I'm wondering how I could use something like chartjs.org or other visualization/charting libraries to visualize the scores or results from articulate quizzes.
Where would the chart be displayed and can I control where on a slide the chart would appear
Hi, Michael -- Many thanks for your question! And while we are not able to provide support for JS coding, many here in the community are well-versed in all things JavaScript, so hopefully someone will be able to offer additional insights to assist with your question.
Do you mean the player.GetVar() ? Wouldn't that only work from inside articulate content and the web object being "outside" wouldn't know anything about the player.
Would you have any example of a storyline2 slide passing values to a web object?
In case its useful to others I ended up using javascript and sessionStorage.setItem(key,value) to store the values in the browser session of the visiting user and add the relevant getItem(key) javascript to the html page I embed as a web object and pass the values to the Chartjs javascript included in the embedded page.

And you would also be welcome to post your query over in our Building Better Courses forum, as well! :)
Michael, you should need to build whatever you need into a local html file, and then insert that into your slide as a Web Object.
Hi Mike B. if the results are coming from an articulate quiz on the previous slide how do I handle getting the correct data to the chart web object?
Is there a way to pass values to the web object from articulate?

The update and additional information is appreciated for others who may encounter this discussion, Michael!
