Question

How do I use JavaScript to find a slide number using slide label?

Hello,

In short, I would like to loop through the slides on a user interaction, find the slide with a particular label/title, get its corresponding slide number, and jump to that particular slide number.

I know how to find the correct slide object on the cp.model.data object, but this slide object doesn't seem to have the slide number on it.

Any help will be appreciated!

    Does it have to be by JS? With an action you can jump to a slide using its label or its number.

    I am a labeling freak and always label slides and most objects. I never use a slide number in any action. At the same time you already have labels that will be used in the TOC, which I'll use in most projects and prefer over a playbar for navigation reasons.

    Although I appreciate JS in some circumstances (like using an array, formatting a number, having a random number) there is quite a lot that can be done with advanced or shared actions that is much easier, at least if you are not a great programmer like TLCMediaDesign
