Hi Wendy
I am using an object on a slide, the Bee, as a Next button. I made this
'hidden', by changing state, as the timeline starts. Learners click on each
of the 4 objects and visit their respective slides. When all 4 have been
visited and they have returned back to the initial slide, I have a change
of state for the Bee back to Normal so that they can then select it to
continue to another slide. The variable references I have to check for the
4 objects show that they work. The Bee is 'hidden' when the timeline
starts. But after each of the 4 object variables = 1, the Bee doesn't
change shape back to Normal so that it can be used as a Next button.
Its all very much like my earlier problem with the Next button but I am not
using the next button.
So, should the initial state of the Bee be hidden or Normal or something
else? Should the slide property be Auto, Inital or saved?

Here is a sample based on what you have explained and it works for me
so without seeing the file I'm not sure what is happening. I have my slide revisit set to 'Auto'.
Yep, thats basically it.
I'll check my story, change to Auto.
If no good I'll create a new story with the issue and send it to you.
Many thanks
