Getting a Storyline course being viewed as a webobject, to trigger slide advance?

So I have some experience with getting Vimeo API to communicate to SL to auto advance when a slide is done. But now, I have a storyline course within a storyline course. I'd like the 'web object...

So, have you used the "player.Setvar("varname",var_value); in the embedded course, AND can you see that you can read that update from the host course? I've not done this, so not sure if that is even possible.

If you can update the host var from the embedded course:

  1. upon playing the embedded course, jump to a layer on that slide, do not pause the base layer
  2. have the layer set to 5 secs or so.
  3. Set a trigger on the layer that checks the var set by the embedded course, and advances if  TRUE.
  4. If not true, then use a trigger to jump back to the 0 second mark of the layer timeline and loop until the condition is met.

it makes sense in my head

    Thanks for the reply,

    So I have this script, which is lifted from another post

    function goSlide() {
    var player = parent.GetPlayer();
    player.SetVar("moveForward", 'yes');
    }

    Right now it's in my embedded course, and runs when the timeline ends
    In the primary course, I have a trigger that says, basically, when "moveForward" changes, advance slide

    But it's not working. The embed course slide ends, but the primary course doesn't advance.
