Change State of Button to Normal after Variables in other scenes are True

I have read other discussions, and I can't seem to get my triggers to work correctly.

I have a Main Menu, where I have made a button (Complete Course) initially disabled.

There are 4 quizzes throughout the course, and once they have reached the Results Slide for each of those quizzes, I have a variable that changes to true when the timeline starts.

On the main menu, I have that Complete Course state changing to normal after all those variables are true.

So the "Disable" part works fine. But after visiting all those results slides, and I return to the Main Menu, the Complete Course button state remains disabled and doesn't change to state=Normal. 

I've attached my file. Help?? What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind! I figured out how to do this after reading this post:

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/triggering-a-state-change-via-variable-change-when-timeline-starts

Basically, what I had to do was:

1. Add new states to each of the buttons where I knew there was a quiz associated to it (State = QuizCompleted)

2. And then change the state of Complete Course to status = Normal, when the timeline starts if each of those shapes had a state = QuizCompleted. And then since one of the buttons doesn't have a quiz, I just also added the condition that the shape = visited. 

3. Gave it a test, and when I first come to the menu the "Complete Course" button is disabled. I go through the course, pass all the quizzes, and visit the last chapter...come back to the Main Menu and voila! .....the "Complete Course" button is now showing as Normal.
