allowing slices to advance only when all markers / buttons clicked

May 29, 2012

I have watched all the Tutorials and read all the material i can find. I am having difficulty controling the "next" trigger. I only want the slides to move forward after all markers and buttons have been explored. Anyone have any ideas?

Ryan,

Markers and buttons are treated like images, and as such can have a Visited state attached to them.

I have attached a .story file and image that show (one way) of doing this.

You set up "Visited" states on the Marker images, and then make the "Next" button Trigger only work on the Condition that the 2 x Markers are set to State = Visited.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Ryan. Check out Jeanette's tutorial on controlling the behavior of the Next button: https://player.vimeo.com/video/204931481. Setting up a trigger for the Next button, with a condition that checks either the button/marker states or a set of true/false variables (e.g., one for each button/marker -- set to true whenever the button/marker is clicked) should do the trick.

Ryan,

If you are using custom navigation buttons, another nice touch is to set up your "Next" button with an initial state of Hidden, (or Disabled).

Then set up a Trigger to change the state to "Normal" once the state of both/(all) your other images = Visited.

After all, they cannot go very far without a Next button can they

You may need to add in some sort of "Visit EVERYTHING" auditory/visual prompt, but you may want to consider this as well.
