I would set variables (true/false) for each item. Have the variable initially set to False. When they click the item then change the variable to True.
On the screen where you would like to show the items they selected you set all the items initial state to hidden.
Then create slide triggers to show the items (State Normal) with the condition that the variable associated to that item is true.If the variable is false then it will stay hidden.
Hi, Dick - Looks like Gary has some good suggestions for you! Please let us know if that'll work for you, or if you would still like additional assistance. :)
I thought I had replied yesterday, but apparently it didn't post. I certainly do appreciate Gary's suggestions, I think though I would need to see the sample of how he is envisioning the slider being part of the final display of the selected elements.
If that offer for a sample still stands, I would truly appreciate it.
So, let's say the final screen has a suitcase on it ( essentially, a rectangular area ). How can we get the 4 items that were selected from screens one & two to display neatly within that suitcase?
Ok, took awhile but here is what I came up with. Wasn't as easy as I first made it out to be, lol.
This rely's heavily on variables and triggers. Have a look and let me know if this will work for you.
I will put up another post to explain what I did for other users and ask for feedback to see if there is a better way of doing it without the use of so many triggers.

Make sense? can create a sample if you need it.

Hmmmm...I didn't see any mention of a slider? I just thought they were selectable by a mouse click.
How do you want to use the slider?
Lol, you're right! Triggers, not sliders.

That will be the tricky part. Let me see what I can come up with for you.

I did a write up here explaining what I did.
Thanks so much, Gary! And Dick, please feel free to update if you are all set, or if you would like or need additional assistance. :)
Just did a quick look and it WORKS!!!! I will look closer in a bit here when I get a chance, but let me say a BIG thanks for now, Gary!
Great job, Gary -- and thanks for the update, Dick!
