WidgetFactory 5 Enhancement Requests

More Access To Slide Labels Feature Request

Some of the Widget Factory events give you access to slideLabel but it would be really useful to reference slides by their labels in other places too. As an example; say you have a widget that results in some kind of navigation decision i.e. depending on how the user has interacted with the widget you might want captivate to jump to a particular section of the slideshow, and if they do something else, it jumps to a different section. This can be achieved using the cpCmndGotoSlide variable but that means jumping to a specific and absolute slide number. If we label the first slide of each section with a meaningful name, then it would be great if we could jump to that section with something like jumpToSlideLabel(“Meaningful Name”). The advantage of that is if there are any changes to the project and slides are added or removed, we don’t have to worry about absolute slide numbers, we can reference by slide label. Advanced Actions in captivate already takes into account slide insertions and deletions with respect to the Jump To Slide action - it would be good to have that available in a widget. I guess the feature I'm requesting is, at the very least, a function that returns a slide number when a slide label is passed to it or returns null if the label doesn’t exist for safety’s sake. (maybe there could be a few other functions added around the whole navigation side of things?)
