Oh, this is a cool intro to advanced prototyping! The idea of a prototype that can actually perform calculations and react to logic is really intriguing. It sounds like they're going to show us how to make designs feel much more dynamic and realistic.
It's smart to point out related tutorials first; getting the basics right is key. And having 'Set Variable' and 'Conditional' actions sounds like the real game-changer here for building complex interactions.
Ah, a farm fresh shop! That's a great real-world example to ground these concepts. I'm already curious to see how they'll use the 'Add to cart' button to actually affect the displayed number of items.

The video introduces advanced prototyping in Figma by leveraging variables, beginning with a practical example of managing product availability on a farm-fresh shop page [0:00-1:30]. The core interaction demonstrated is decrementing the "amount available" of watermelons each time the "Add to cart" button is clicked [1:30-2:00]. This is achieved by first creating a local number variable titled "Amount available" and applying it to the corresponding text layer [2:00-3:00]. The prototype is then set up so that clicking the "Add to cart" button triggers a "Set variable" action, subtracting 1 from the "Amount available" variable [3:00-3:30].
