Button Set and Next Button Trigger
Nov 11, 2019

Hello heros!
I created a button set for this example. I want the next button to hide until all buttons are selected:
- I created a trigger to hide the next button when the timeline starts.
- Then created a trigger to show the Next button when the timeline starts are long as all the objects to have the selected state
- Created a button set for all buttons so only the one state displays at a time
This actual clicking of the buttons work great (thanks to awesome heros here) however, the Next button will not display unless I click off the slide.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing? I even tried changing the trigger to disable until everything was visited. That did not work either.
Thanks!

I updated the attachment, the trigger is hidden
Hi Mimi
instead of using selected state try using visited state.
I tried and it does not work. The trigger in the example reads: Change state of Next Button to Normal when the timeline starts on this slide if the state of (12 objects) = visited. The button will show up after, but you have to click off the slide.

For example, if I select all the states, buttons work fine. I have to use the menu to select the previous or next slide. However, when I return to the slide with interaction the Next button displays. However, it does not display in real-time when I select the last object to be visited.
Thank you for replying!
Hi Mimi
Because the user can click the objects in any order I've added a variable to the slide - see if this is working how you want.
Wendy!!! Wendy!! Wendy!! You are awesome. I was wondering if it was as simple as a trigger. It works great. Thank you so much. :)
Doing a happy dance for you - yay!!!
Pardon the really dumb question but...I'm watching a webinar on using button sets and...I don't have an option to create button sets. Is it a setting that I need to turn on? Do I need to do some kind of dance?
Yes Don - a dance is essential to get this working.
You need to select the objects first then right click > button set
I figured out what the issue was. I can't turn icons into buttons if they are formatted as a group.
