DropDown Menu

I would like my dropdown menu to function like a webpage, e.g. go to next slide or slide x. Not use the right or wrong variables etc.

Please, give some more details? The dropdown interaction is a 'static' interaction, which means that it has no 'event' that can trigger an action at all.

The user can choose an item from the dropdown interaction, that choice will be stored in the associated variable. But you'll need an interactive object like a button to trigger a conditional action that will navigate to the chosen slide. There used to be a widget to have this in an easy way, but it disappeared (was for SWF only).

I wonder if just using the TOC, with full navigation, wouldn't be an easier way?

I used your suggestion and created a TOC - it would be okay for an entire project - not exactly what I was looking for. In the above reply "you'll need an interactive object like a button to trigger a conditional action that will navigate to the chosen slide." Is this like on overlay of the drop_down I've already made?

No, a separate button (or shape button), you can put a label 'Go' on it.
