JumpToSlide in JavaScript Not Working

I'm trying to create navigation based on variables. The JumpToSlide function in JavaScript works when a project is exported to Review 360 as expected. It does not work when exported to web.

  • Export to Review 360 WORKS
  • Preview in Storyline 360 - FAILS
  • Export to Web - FAILS
  • Upload to Apache Server - FAILS

Here is the code I'm using.

On Slide 1 Trigger: Set slideID to variable Slide.Id when timeline starts on this slide.

On Slide 3 Button to return to Slide 1 with the following JavaScript:
var slideID = GetPlayer().GetVar("slideID");
GetPlayer().JumpToSlide(slideID);

 

Thank you to Nathan_Hilliard for help debugging this.

    on Review 360 storyline courses are using a special mode "dark-spider" with more features in GetPlayer()

    publish for Web/LMS -> normal mode

    publish for Review 360 -> "dark-spider" mode

     

    you can activate "dark-spider" with

    window.autoSpider = true;

    in story.html

     

    now you 'only' have to test whether this spider-mode has side effects

      Jürgen, that works perfectly. Thank you for this explanation.

      I'm curious how you think this might cause side effects.

        I'm curious how you think this might cause side effects.

        since this mode was completely unknown* until now and I only found it in the JavaScript source code of the web player - I would be careful at least with LMS integration (-> learner tracking)

        * number of Google search results = 0
