Thanks Ron. Search had several results and I hadn't seen this slide.
I was surprised that these slide numbers aren't supported in Flash. I'm a big fan of destroying Flash altogether. The customer base isn't there yet sadly.
Surprised me as during the beta I delivered a course to a client and couldn't see why they didn't see them.
I think 90% of the courses I deliver now are HTML5 only though as I use a lot of javascript animations and web objects that sometimes do not work in Flash.
Hi there, Sam. Can you provide a little context around where you're using those terms? We distinguish between the player menu's order of slides and the order of slides in Story View, but that doesn't sound like what you're describing.
I think it's easiest to understand this when looking at one slide in question. So for example, in my image below I had 1 scene and this was the 3rd slide in that scene. So the slide number in the project (3) vs. the slide reference in menu (1.3):
As within the menu you'll see the slide number indicated as `SceneNumber.SlideNumber`
Thanks for your example using numbering in Menu, but the example I posted was for numbering "in project". The tests I ran show no difference in the displayed values of "slide number in project" versus "slide reference in project".
"slide number" in project seems intuitive. "Slide reference" in project?
I think in project would come into play if the scenes were not in the same order as the menu. The main use case I can think of is in a review cycle, especially if someone is not using Review 360 - someone could reference the exact slide versus the slide as it appears in the menu.

I had to re-run tests after reading your reply. I got different results this time which raises the question of what did I see or do first time testing.
You are absolutely right. Slide reference displays scene.slideNumber e.g., 2.3, 4.5
I don't know what happened first time around but I was seeing single digit results for reference.

One more thing... I couldn't find the "slide reference in project" in the document.
I'm still unclear of the difference between "slide number in project" and "slide reference in project".
