Changing state of the next button not working
Feb 12, 2016
Good morning,
I would appreciate someone taking a look at this file. Slide 1.1 has the Next button hidden until all four marker states change to Visited. This one is working fine. Slide 2.2 has the same trigger order, starting with change state of Next to Hidden and then change state of Next to Normal if four variables = True. The variable changes are set on each of four layers. (I have some other scenes that I started to set up with a Continue button, but I like using Next instead.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong and would appreciate some expertise.
Thanks!

Hi Cheryl,
Here is one solution. I try to avoid hotspots, they have their uses but using them as a button isn't one of them. My version doesn't actually need the variables to fire the next button state change trigger it is based on changing the states of shapes.
Cary, thank you so much! That certainly simplifies things, which is great. I don't know why I have a mental block with this Next button. Do you think there was something in the way I built it that was wrong, or the Next button doesn't work with triggers, just state changes on objects?
I really appreciate your time!
I'm not entirely sure, I suspect it is because the trigger is set up based on timing of the slide starting, which can be problematic. You could set it up to fire the trigger when a hotspot is triggered if all the variables were true but then you need to make four triggers (one for each hotspot). Since, you don't know what order the learners are going to click the buttons.
Thank you for your thoughts. I like your approach much better. I owe you one.
Hello everyone. I am facing the similar issue. I have tried both the methods to make next button visible. I have created a panel of images, each image is clinked to different slide. Each slide comes back to panel of image page. I want panel of image page to display next button and a small success message after all the linked pages are visited. I have tried using the image state by setting them to visited and giving the trigger of Next button to visible after all images are visited. The next button appears for fraction of second when I click the last image but When I come back to panel page it just won't appear.
Thanks
Hi Mansi
do you want to upload your story file - easier for someone to help if they can see your setup.
Hi Wendy
The file attached is dummy of what I am doing and the error I am facing. Due to client company policies can't upload the original file.
It would run fine one time but the next moment I replay, it won't. Please take two three try if the error is not visible in first go.
Thanks
Perhaps I'm not understanding Mansi. After visiting all of the buttons, I'm seeing visited states and the next button:
What are you seeing?
I found it very useful too, thank you!
