    You could just add a boolean Storyline variable (e.g., showWarning) and set it to false on the slide where you don't want the warning to show. The event handler will check it before triggering the dialog.

    window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
    //The newer approach
    //if (GetPlayer().GetVar("showWarning")) e.preventDefault();

	//or the legacy approach (can use both to cover all possibilities)
	return GetPlayer().GetVar("showWarning") ? true : null;
}
