I'm trying to build a slide such that the next button unlocks only on completion of any 3 of 4 items on the slide. Each of them are slides unto themselves, not layers. I can find info on how to do it for all of them, but not for a combination of any three. Any help would be appreciated.
The only way I can think to do this would be to add a variable that starts at 0 and add +1 when the learner visits an item on the slide. You could then set your next button trigger based on the variable greater than or equal to 3.
This only works if you disable an item after it is visited. You don't want someone getting credit twice for visiting the same item (if that makes sense).
How about if you set a True/False variable that is set to true for each individual event that occurs (with the default for each variable set to False) and then checked to see if any combination of the three has been set to True?
yeah, it's the three out of four part that's tripping me up. How do I set it such that any combination of three makes the next button activated in the triggers?
See attachment...click each button to set the variable associated with it to true, then click Check to see if enough buttons have been clicked to enable the Next button.
Maybe you can adapt this approach to your situation?

ahh, got it, see what you did there. Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Lyn did a great job, and no doubt that story will work. I modified it, and may have a simpler method.
thanks to both of you, this is very helpful. Should work great and I learned a lot.
:)
update: both of these worked great. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it Kristine. Thanks for popping back in with an update.
