Cannot use next Botton to move next slide

Feb 09, 2021

Hi guys,

Im building up an English course but I run into a problem with next and back Botton

I can't use next button to change slide 1.34 to 1.35 and 1.36 while other slides still work well

I also send a lesson I created

Please help me!

Hi, Sa Ctl, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

Thank you for sharing your .story file! 

I noticed on slides 1.35 and 1.36 that the custom previous button you created had a trigger to move to the previous slide when the timeline starts. Once I changed it to when the user clicks, it worked!

I am also attaching the edited .story file here so you can see the changes I made. 

Let me know if it works for you!

Hello, Sa Ctl,

I am glad it worked!

The Jump to Previous/Next slide trigger in Storyline is related to the previously viewed slide (similar to a browser back button), not necessarily the slides' sequence. The best way to ensure what you want is to point to the specific slide number you want the user to go to. 

For example, on slide 1.35 you would have the prev 1 button jumping to 1.34, and the next 1 button jumping to 1.36. I noticed on some of your slides, such as Slide 1.19, you took that route, but not on the ones mentioned. 

I hope this helps!
