Transferring a button state across slides
Mar 03, 2016
I have an interactive slide (Slide A) where the user clicks a panic button as they watch a video. The button has 25 states <numbered 1 through 25>. Each time the user clicks the button it changes the state of the button by 1. (Works perfectly)
The question is - I wish to transfer the user to another slide (Slide B), with a different video, and repeat the same process. How do I transfer the state (1 through 25) of the button from slide A to slide B?
Example: The user clicked the button on slide A: 10 times which changed the state of the button to 10. When they arrive at slide B how can I have the button state start at 10? (This state number is based on the number of times the user clicked the button on slide A)
Much thanx for your insight!

You might want to add that button to the master slide (or a layout) so it is available on all slides (or all slides that use this particular layout).
Hi Ivan,
Take a look at this. I used the clicks to trigger a variable change and then used that variable to change the button. I also had the button's initial start start a 5. (I didn't feel like building all 25 button states.)
Thank you both for your insight!
Cary, its not quite what I am looking to do and it is incredibly difficult to explain so I have attached a simple test example.
I am looking to have the anxiety meter level be Matched / Transferred between slides 1.2 Wake up and 1.3 Go to the gate.
So if you click the button on Slide 1.2 <10 times> then click the next button, on slide 1.3 the anxiety meter needs to start at 10.
Thanx for your help guys!
Can you share an unpublished version? That way I can make adjustments right to your project.

I'm getting the published version. I'm not sure why.

Hi Ivan,
This is what I'm getting.
That is completely bizzar as this is what I am sending.... I am being forced to use Parallels to run windows on my Mac's as there is not Storyline for Mac... wonder if that is part of the issue however It is uploading (and downloading) as a .story file
Weird, I bet that is it. I haven't seen that happen before. I wonder if it would work if you made a copy on to the Mac desktop and then attached from Safari?
Just emailed it to you directly via your website email - Let's see if that works ;)
Okay, I won't be able to get to it until tonight.
Try adding these two triggers to the Going to the Gate slide.
Did you make that panic button, and if so, can I use it?
thanks.
Walt - Genius solution! Could not wrap my head around the logic but that solved it perfectly!
Yes Walt I did make that panic button and you may use it ... Thank you again for your help!
Thank you all for your assistance! - Thought I would share the final results.
