Hi everyone,


I am beginning on figma and got a little problem:

I would like people to enter informations independently (ex: tick a box, input an information, choose an option among a list…) but without having to do it in order, so I can’t only create successive frames because the previous informations wouldn’t be taken into account.


So, basically, I would like to create “independent frames” and combine them on only one frame so that the changes made on each are independent and do not impact the other parts.


Is this even possible ? Or is there any other way to make what I want to do ?


Thank you 🙂


PS: i am french so sorry for bad english

Are you talking about a prototype? Can you show an example?

euh yeah about prototype


figma


for exemple, on this, i would like people to select, on the first rectangle, “digital” or “film”, select a type among a list of possibilities, etc… and on the following rectangle, also select “fixed focal” or “zoom” etc…


but if i just create a frame after this one and connect the two with an interaction which navigates from one frame to the other by taping on an element, the informations must be entered in order because a new frame must be created for each choice made


so i would like to find a way to make the rectangles independent and then combined on a unique frame so that it appears on a unique page on mobile


that’s not really clear and i don’t even know if this could be possible but voila 🙂

ok i think i found a clearer way to explain my problem : can i replace a nested frame by another ? It means navigate from one nested frame to another frame, but this last one will still be nested in the first top level frame, not a unique frame itself ?

Yeah this is much easier to understand now. This is not possible yet.

Okay thank you for your answer !

Not sure I got it right, but isn’t something you can solve with variants and animation within them? Meaning: the toggle symbol has 2 states connected by prototype same for the drop down or the buttons, that way you have all those interactions with out changing frame, the only thing is that you need to decide at some point which of all those clicks are gonna trigger the next frame. Now…. If what you want is tap on a toggle and swap that with another instance like the toggle on the next frame, that’s also possible with variants and swap instance prototype connector. But again, not sure if I got your issue right
