I am looking for information on being able to disable the NEXT BUTTON for ten seconds which I did in attached file with a little help from one of the users last night, but IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE IT SO THAT WHEN THE USER CLICKS BACK A SLIDE, that the NEXT BUTTON is not disabled?
Took a crack at it and couldn't quite figure out away to do it with your triggers in the master slide. Maybe someone else will jump in and figure that out.
I set it up so that your triggers are on each slide now. But, this will result in allot of variables depending on your project size.
Try this. It is not on the master. I still struggle with slide masters. I think that is going to be a goal for this year. Instead I added an object off the stage and then added one trigger to change the state of the next button based on the state of the rectangle. I also set the slide to resume saved state when revisiting. It is a little extra work compared to putting in on a master but with the ability to copy and past triggers it goes fast.
Are you restricted to using the built-in navigation buttons? If not, add the buttons to a layer. See the example. You should be able to do the same on a slide master. Hope this helps.
How about this? I wasn't able to do make it do what you wanted with the built-in buttons but I was successful with custom buttons as suggested by Steve.
Thank you Steve and Cary. I wish there was a way to make that last version work by using the Menu Next and Previous buttons, but if there isn't then, so be it. Thanks for everyones time. I truly appreciate it.

IS there a way to make the MASTER SLIDE an object to choose in the Master Slide View just as each slide is an object you can choose is storyline view?
And thanks for the file and for trying to help me out Gary.

Very clever using the radio buttons. This is exactly why I cruise this forum, best way to see different approaches to tasks.
Glad that you were able to get some benefit from this thread as well Gary. Thanks for popping in :)
