Conditional Branching for CP6

Question

Good day!
I am fairly new to Captivate and I am currently creating a scenario-based activity.
Is it possible to have this sort of branching: One slide, 2 scenarios. Each scenario (say, slides 2 and 3) can be accessed by a button on the said slide. What I want to achieve is if one scenario has YET to be viewed, it will automatically go back to the initial slide; if the second scenario has been viewed, it'll proceed to the next slide (say, slide 4 for debrief).
I tried to use advanced actions using IF and THEN, variable I used was cpInfoPrevSlide but I can't seem to make it work.
Any advise please? TIA!

Hello
Not sure you used the correct system variable, and I wouldn't use a system variable there but label that 'menu' slide and jump back to that menu slide.
I suppose the sequence of clicking one of the buttons is not imposed, right?
Create a user variable for each button that will track if it has been clicked. For two buttons: v_one and v_two, initially set to 0.
For the buttons create a standard advanced action like this (example for first button):
Assign v_one with 1
Jump to chap_one   where chap_one is the slide label of the first slide of chapter one
You need a button or click box on the last slide of chapter one  - and same for last slide of chapter two that will trigger the conditional action:
IF v_one is equal to 1 AND
     v_two is equal to 1
Jump to end_slide  which is the slide after the two chapters
ELSE
    jump to menu_slide
Have a look at my blog, it has its focus on advanced actions and variables. Here is an example:
