SlideNames in Javascript

ActivePresenter Support Questions

Problem: Is there a way in Javascript to get the name of the current slide similar to ‘currentSlideIndex()’?

Thanks,

Hi Rolf,

In the current version, slide name has HTML format, it’s not plain text as object name.
So it should be used only for showing (not storing, comparing … in JavaScript), and you can use apCurrentSlideLabel variable for this purpose.

Thanks, Toan,

so just to be clear. I cannot have a JS code in the master where I do something like

if(apCurrentSlideLabel == ‘Hello’) {…}

Best, Rolf

Yes, you should not use JS code like that.
prez.variable('apCurrentSlideLabel') will return something like "<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; \">Hello</p>

You can assign a name for a slide in its On Load event and check this name in other events. For example:

// in a slide On Load
prez.myCurrentSlideName = 'Hello';
// in that slide On UnLoad: reset current slide name
delete prez.myCurrentSlideName;

// in another event
if (prez.myCurrentSlideName == 'Hello') {...}

Thanks, Toan, that’s really helpful.
