I have a layer that will have 7 bullet points come in every 4 seconds on the timeline. Is it possible to make my Next button not function until the last bullet slides onto the layer? I do not want the user to be able to skip the slide by using the next button right away.
I have done this with buttons and variables on other layers, but I can not seem to get it to work with text boxes.

Hi John,
yes you can.
you'll have to add a condition to it although.
Create a variable and initialise it in the variable window
When your timeline of your slide start, initialise your variable to a certain value
When your timeline of your slide end, you set the variable to a certain value
Select the trigger of your next button (wrong image here)
Click on the show conditions
Click on the green +
Add your condition (similar screen)
Hope it helps

I added a state to the last text box (identical to the 1st text box). I then placed a trigger to change the state of that text box when the timeline ends. I then placed a condition on the next button to wait until the last text box is set to the new state I created.
It works, even though it may not be the best way to go about it. I think it is easier than creating a variable, in this case.
Thanks for your input.
I just tried the second solution as I didn't want students to submit their quiz until all the audio completes. Works a dream! Thank you so much, just the job!
