I have a Main Slide with (2) objects that have to be clicked to view another slide for each object. Once each object is viewed on their respected slides, it takes the user back to the Main Slide, disabling the object already viewed.
When both objects have been viewed I would like to make an Exit button appear on the Main Slide to finish the course. Do I need to add a variable for this or can I just do it with the Triggers/Show Conditions?
I would use a variable, or maybe 2 - you could use a count variable and have each slide visited increase it by 1, then set the exit button to appear if count equals 2. Or you could use two call them Slide1 and Slide2 and set each one to viewed when the user clicks the correct button, then show the exit button when timeline starts if Slide1 and Slide2 are equal to viewed.
You can do it either way, with variables or by using states. See attached a quick example that shows the exit button based on the states of the other two.
I have tried all of this it seems not to respond. I simply have states of the button as hidden but it is still showing when the timelime starts. This software seems to get corrupted easily.
Have a look at the attached and see if that's what you want. I added the Exit/Back text boxes to the Normal state of the Back/Exit buttons and adjusted some triggers to make them slide triggers rather than object triggers.
Since Michael's example relies on checking the state of the navigation button it should work the same both with slide layers and slides. It's a good all around solution.

Thanks, but how can this be done when you are working with Slide Layers?
Maybe this thread here helps.

Basically 2 things.
Button to appear on the Main slide 1.1 AFTER the other 2 slides (1.3 & 1.4) have been visited.
Button to appear on Slide 1.3 once both LAYERS have been viewed.
Does anybody know how to do this?

How did you make the action on the Main Slide a Slide Trigger and not a trigger under Button 1??
Make sure that no object on the slide is selected and then add a trigger, which will then be a slide trigger.
Thank you so much Michael, greatly appreciated!!
Thank you too Eric!!
