Jump to Custom Slide Using Variables
Mar 11, 2015
Hi heroes,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm working on customizing a player for a set of eLearning deliverables and I'm looking for a way to jump to a slide using a variable. Specifically, I'm looking for something that can execute this logic.
var customNav = false;
var customSlideNav;
//designer decides to change customNav to true;
//designer wants the next button to seamlessly jump to slide 07.
customNav=true;
customSlideNav=slide7; //Possibly an object of some kind? This is the spot I am confused on.
if(customNav==false) {
player.goToNextSlide; //This is pseudocode, remember. :)
}
else {
player.goToCustomSlide(customSlideNav);
}
I would like to execute this using a custom next button, not with the SL controls. Anyone have any ideas?

This seems unnecessarily completed. Why not just use a variable with Storyline and set a condition on a next button trigger?
Hi Douglas,
I was talking psuedocode. If you have a way to jump to a particular slide using a variable, that's what I'm looking for. How would you go about implementing that?
You would need to put two triggers on your custom button:
Jump to slide, slide 7, when user clicks, customButton if Variable is == Equal to Value True
jump to slide, next slide, when user clicks, customButton if Variable is == Equal to Value False
You will have to create a variable and set it to be false initially, then just figure out how it will be set to true, you can do it at the beginning or end of a timeline, on another button click, when a layer shows, etc.
Hopefully this is what you were looking for.
