Hmmm…. why complicate this? Just insert cpIndoCurrentSlide, it will always be the correcct slide number. What is the advantage of this very long workflow? You can even insert the total number of slides, it will look like:
Slide $$cpInfoCurrent$$/$$cpInfoSlideCount$$
Both variables belong to the Movie Control category.
