How does one get the total number of slides?

Hi Nathan, 

I'm not sure if Michael is still subscribed here, as the post is a bit older - but you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!

Let me know if there is anything I can help with (outside of the Javascript - as we don't offer support for it)! 

It should be noted that player.totalViewSlides is available in a course published as html5, but not in the Flash version of that course.

Hi George,

What version of Storyline are you using? With Storyline 3 and Storyline 360, we have changed how the HTML5 and Flash publishing occurred and I know that's caused some differences with previous Javascript code in connection with the player. 

Hi Ludovic,

I'm not sure if Michael is still subscribed here, but you are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.

Hi All,

I'm also looking for the same. Is there any way to get total number of slides at the beginning of the Scene starts? Kindly help.

Thanks,

Hi Crystal,

Have a good day!

Thanks for reply. Actually I tried to show page numbers at the bottom of the content area like 1 2 3.... So that the user can click on the page numbers and will jump from page to page at any time. So, it should be a global declaration in the master slide or in the html page using JS. But, I'm unable to get the total number of slides as well as jump to the user selected page. Is there any way to get it? and also can I jump to a particular page using JS? 

Note: Some one suggested that declare a global variable and enter the total number of pages manually in it. That's fine but, need to change it at all time if add or remove slides. Every time I should be remember to change it. If I get it globally as soon as opened the app, it would be very nice to place the numbers at the bottom of the page dynamically :).

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Guru

Hi Guru, 

Setting up that jump to slide based on a Javascript set up is something I'll have to rely on the community to help with! It's not something we can support, but there are lots of folks here in the community who have set up similar.

Can you share a copy of your .story file here so that folks can take a look at what you have already got set up?

Hi Ashley,

Thank you very much. 

I found some logic to jump to the target page, but it will be jumping page by page and reach the targeted page. Seems it's very slow as I have some images and videos in many page. So, if any one suggest easy way to jump directly to the particular page, it would be nice. Kindly help.

Thanks,
Guru

Hi all,

player.totalViewSlides; this works in storyline 2/3, but can you please suggest the same for articulate 360.

for 360 this code doesn't work?

please guide me

Hi Ruchi and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Storyline 360 now has a feature for slide numbers, which also includes the total slides.

Check out this tutorial here.

If you decide you still need the Javascript solution, then hopefully the community will chime in to help.
