Send variable to child project

[maseinyerfaceintheplace]

Hey,

I have 1 large Captivate project with several 'levels' - I ran into publishing issues dues to the size of the project and it seems like a good idea to split each level into a separate project file and nest each level inside the callees folder using Captivates 'open another project' function.

My issue, it that right at the beginning of level 1 the user chooses an Avatar & types in their name which is then shown throughout the project. Now, when opening up level 2 as its a linked project the user name and avatar reverts back to default variable 'test name' etc...

So, I'm wondering - can I send these user-defined variables to child projects and how does the child project pick up this variable without overwriting it?

Thanks for your help

Only see Local Storage as a feature to use for exchanging variable values.

Thanks, Lilybiri​ - can you recommend any good tutorials on where to start with Local Storage?

In this Help text about the common JS interface you'll find some information (towards the end):

I mostly use the CpExtra widget by InfoSemantics which also allows to address data in local storage. That data is available if the user remains on the same system and doesn't clear it.
