Is there an exposed or hidden variable that controls the page seen checkmarks in the TOC?

The info is like this:

12125/1/0,1,2,3,/0,1,2,3,//1

12125 is the id of the TOC

/1 never changes, I think it is a flag on whether to bookmark

/0,1,2,3, is visitedArray

the second /0,1,2,3, is bookmarkArray

/1 = last slide visited

You have absolutely confirmed my suspicions about the array, and it is, readable via the console. The issue the is to uncover the variable that the TOC  creates the cookie from so that it can be set on program entry based on the array data stored in the database.

Can you explain a little more?

Unchecking "Status flag" in the TOC setting will get rid of the checkmarks.

Here is the issue:

A client is delivering courseware without using an LMS. They want the learner to be able to bookmark and exit and then resume from where he left off. The catch is that they want the student to be able to resume an any other machine. In the current TOC settings, the navigation is set to Visited Slides Only to prevent a learner from skipping ahead. There is no problem stashing the slide number of the last slide the learner saw in an external database and returning to that specific slide. BUT, if, for example, the learner bookmarks page 20 and then is returned to that page (again, we can do this), the TOC shows that the previous 19 slides are unchecked and therefore cannot be accessed via the TOC. What is needed is a way to reestablish the completion checks on the previous slides (an array value, we suspect).

So do you have the self-paced learning turned on (checked) in the TOC settings?

Certainly not 'exposed'.
