Hello -One of the main benefits of using variables is that they do hold values between slides. Here's a link that may help:
http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/working-with-variables.aspx
If you have it set up to where the variables are capturing the correct information, but your triggers still aren't working, perhaps there may be something on one of your slide loads causing a reset the values? If you can post an example file to show what's going on that may be of great help.
I believe Phil Mayor has done a nice variable demo but do not have that link, perhaps someone could help?
