Advancing slides in an Escape Room (not wanting to use NEXT and PREV)

Jul 14, 2021

I have a newbie-struggle.

I am creating an Escape room activity in Storyline 3, but I don't want the user to be able to use the NEXT and PREV button. So I disabled them - see image.

I want the user to click on the arrow (some slides) or on the clues (hyperlinked areas / triggers) in the slide. It only works when I have the PREV and NEXT buttons ticked. The moment I untick - none of my hyperlinked shapes are working.

Any suggestions - please.

Hi, Irene,

That's what is politely referred to as "unexpected behavior." Jump-to-slide triggers attached to on-slide objects should work whether or not the built-in Prev and Next buttons are available. 

I suggest you contact Articulate's support staff directly. You can do that here:

In my experience, they're quite responsive. And they will discretely handle your file.
