Buttons and triggers Jan 11, 2013 By Mary Ward I have an introductory slide with 3 topics listed, 1, 2, 3. I want the learner to have to first click button 1, then 2, then 3. I do I do this? (I want them to view these topics in order)
Bruce Graham Hero over 11 years ago01/11/13 at 11:55 am (UTC) Hi Mary, A number of ways to do this - you could assign variables, then have buttons 2 & 3 hidden. When click on button 1, change the variable to (for example), True, and that then changes the state of button 2 to "Normal". Same again 2 to 3. Bruce
Annie Jean over 11 years ago01/11/13 at 12:53 pm (UTC) Hi Mary, Bruce has a great idea but since you are working on a single slide I suggest using states. Make sure your buttons have the disabled state and set that state as the "initial state". Then, add trigger to change the state of button 2 when button 1 is clicked and so on. You could also set the initial state of your buttons to "hidden" if you don't want the learner to see the coming ones. Hope it helps and have a nice day! Annie
