I have a slide where I've grouped an object with another object. So, in the timeline there are 4 groups, and they are named 1,2,3,4.
I added a trigger that says to set the state of the Next button to hidden when timeline starts.
Then I added trigger that says "set the state of the Next button to Normal when all objects on the slide are in the "Selected" state.
However, when I try to indicate that all 4 groups have to be in the "Selected" state to change the state of the Next button to Normal, it doesn't work. (Even though I used the same coding for another slide and it works.)
I've attached 2 slide: the one where it worked and the one where it is not working. I'd be grateful for any assistance.
The first slide doesn't work either. It just looks like it does because when you click on the last character you have a trigger to change the next when user clicks on character 6.
Here are a few issues:
When you use selected states, those are toggles. Thus a person can turn them on or off. You should use a visited state.
The way your triggers are set, the next button won't change because you're doing it based on the timeline of the slide starting. Thus it will only work if the slide starts and those objects are in selected states.
If you use visited states, you can create a trigger to change the state of the next button when the states of ALL ____ are visited.
Tom is the expert here. I did find that there were a couple of things that you should consider.
You had a trigger that set the next button to normal when someone clicked on character 6 (see trigger1.jpg). This can be problematic. The next button would only show on the first slide when I clicked on the home health aide. I could see that there was not a similar trigger on the not working slide (see trigger2.jpg). When I added a blank page, enabled the next button, and added the same type of trigger to group 4, it worked as you wanted.
With all that said, I would look at Tom's recorded tips.
I think I followed your tutorial on making the items on the base layer locked until the previous character is clicked. It's working except for when I click the Occupational Therapist. Nothing happens when I click it.
Also I'm having issues when I click the Physical Therapist. I want the "Back" button to show only after the learner clicks the Continue button. It's not working when I code it. So I removed that functionality out of frustration!

I recorded a tutorial with some tips. File is attached.
Thank you SO much, Tom! I'm going to try it now.

Now I have another issue!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You have some redundant triggers, so I'd get rid of them. And the trigger with the issue is linking to the wrong object.

Again, many thanks Tom! Your tutorials are so helpful and easy to follow. I will be taking advantage of the training available.
Glad they help.
