I built a slide in Storyline 1, which includes buttons representing dates on a timeline. When a button is clicked, a text box of information appears and a voiceover is played. However, I can't find the button setting to only allow one button to be clicked at a time. Right now, I can click all the buttons and have all the text boxes and voiceovers playing over each other. How do I deactivate the other buttons while the sound/voiceover is playing on the other buttons? I'm relatively new so I apologize if this is an easy setting I've missed.
Thank you Michael! Seems like that was a pretty easy answer... I appreciate the help! I do have a follow-up question... This may have to do with how I have my layers and triggers set up - but, at this point even with the button set, if they click a button, a layer appears with a text box and sound plays. However, they can still click another button while the sound is playing - to switch to a new layer with a text box and different sound. The difference now is that it is only playing one sound at a time, so that is better than before. But what do I need to do in my layers so that they can't click another button until the sound is done playing??
That very much depends on how your file is structured (maybe you can upload it here, so that we can have a look). For example, if your buttons set is on the baselayer, you could try selecting the 'Prevent the user from clicking on the baselayer' option in the layers' properties.

Sounds like you need to group your buttons in a button set, so that only one button can be selected at a time, See here for info on button sets.
