Yes it seems unnecessary. Thanks again agreed things get out of hand pretty quickly but my problem in this case was simply not knowing the right script trigger

Thank you, I didn't know about Get(TriggerTargetPanel) for some reason. That works wonderfully. Just a quick follow up question. Get(TriggerCurrentPanel)and Get(TriggerCurrentPanel) return a list that contain the "slide number" and the slide object name. Can the slide number be used in any useful way to navigate to a slide. That would be handy as I wouldn't have name all the slides and could move them around in order with out renaming them into the right sequence order. Thank you again for your reply

I am trying to capture the object name of a slide using the OnPanelSwitch script trigger so that I can return to the slide after going to another layout. The problem is that because the script trigger is pre (processed) it captures the name of the slide that it is leaving not the current slide it arrives at. This is the script that it triggers: Set Variable [ $panellnfo ; Value: Get ( TriggerCurrentPanel ) ] Set Variable [ $$objectName ; Value: GetValue ( $panellnfo ; 2 ) ] Any ideas...?
