Set the next button to appear after learners hover all images, possible?

Aug 31, 2016

HI , I want the learner to click through or hover over all objects before the Next button appear. Is there a way to do that?

Hi Patinya!  One way of handling this would be through the use of triggers and variables.  You need to have a true/false variable for each object so that you can set conditional triggers to make the next button hide and appear.  

Change the state of the Next button on the player to hidden when the timeline starts if any of those variables are not true.  In my example, I have 4 objects the user has to hover over before showing the Next button.

conditions

When hovering over or clicking on all of the required objects, set a trigger to adjust those variables that you created.  Also, set a trigger to change the Next button to normal if all of those variables are true, on each of those objects.  Trigger order is important here- make sure you have the trigger to adjust the variable first.  Also, uncheck the "restore on mouse leave" option.

triggers

If they can hover/click on these objects in any order, the variables will be adjusted and the triggers will fire accordingly.  I'm attaching an example file-- probably better to show than to explain!

Hi Patinya, 

There isn't a way to change the state of the next button within Presenter or Studio '13 as a whole. It will be visible and accessible to the user from the start of the slide - although you can choose to lock individual slides as detailed here, you'll need to provide another avenue for the user to navigate away from the slide.
