Last Slide Viewed (Call and Return Buttons) for Articulate Presenter

Although Articulate Presenter supports many of the hyperlink features that are included in PowerPoint, it does not support linking to the Last Slide Viewed, a feature that would be very useful in many circumstances.

I created a pair of Flash SWF files that can be used to give the Last Slide Viewed functionality to PowerPoint courses that are published using Articulate Presenter. The files are:

• callButton.swf: Embed this file in the calling slide that has a hyperlink to a target slide. callButton.swf sets a global variable to remember the number of the calling slide.
• returnButton.swf: Embed this file on the target slide that is called. Place the movie over a return icon on your slide. The return icon should just be an appropriate picture or symbol; it doesn't directly do anything. Place the returnButton.swf movie on top of the return icon. When users click the return icon, they will be causing the Flash returnButton.swf to get the presentation to jump back to the calling slide.

Take a look at a demonstration of the buttons. You can also take a look at a helpful screencast that demonstrates and explains the use of the SWF files.

These useful files and the documentation that accompanies them are only $5.00USD. Click on Buy Widget Now in the right-hand column.
