Just confirming you are using the default player buttons as I have shown above? If you are using custom buttons you would need to change the state accordingly to what colours/transparency you wanted.
I should also probably point out that I'm using a True/False variable and have created a trigger that sets the slide to Complete when True (when the media complete). Is there a better way to go about this that disables the button until the media completes?
Are you using Storyline 1 (based on the article you linked to)? In SL1, it won't change the color, but just stop the user from clicking on it. Storyline 2 shows it greyed out if you've set it to be disabled as that is a "state" within Storyline 2 vs. just stopping the functionality in Storyline 1.
Do you have the trigger to set the next button to disabled when timeline starts on the slide? Then use another trigger to change to normal when timeline ends or whatever the action is that you want to re-enable it.

Hi Shel
this is what the next button looks like in 'disabled' state - is that not greyed out enough?
Hmm. The button in my project isn't greyed out like that at all. I wonder what I'm doing wrong!

Can you screenshot what you are seeing?
Sure, Wendy (and I'm very grateful for the help). I'm using the default player buttons.

Storyline 2, Ashley, but I think I must be using a different process. There's no state involved. I'd love to see an alternative approach!
Hi Shel,
Well that'll explain some of it - here is the info for Storyline 2. Little bit different set up than Storyline 1's article.
Awesome. Thank you!

Yep, I got rid of the trigger on the T/F variable and redid everything this way. It works great now.
Yay Shel! glad you got it working...have a good day.
