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 ...

    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.

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

    Thank you for your thoughtful insights.

    The ability to navigate using variables should be a basic feature of Storyline. I'm also surprised that built-in variables cannot be accessed by JavaScript. Perhaps these are features that can be addressed in the future.

    I will write a tutorial for others who face similar challenges. Thanks again.
