Custom Menu Slide
Oct 17, 2014
Hi,
I've created a menu with a button that jumps to each scene in a course. I don't want my users accessing the scenes out of order, so I'd like each button to activate once the user reaches the last slide in a given scene. I've tried every which way I can think of to make the buttons behave, but I keep running into issues. I want the first button to be active when the user first encounters this menu screen so they can begin the first scene. When they return to the menu screen (after having reached the last slide in that scene), the first scene button should show as "complete" (I've created a "complete" state with the checkmark icon in the button displayed) while the next scene button should activate.
Any takers on this one? Please help! Thank you.

This may not be exactly what you want, but have a look at the attached file. This menu forces learners to take sections/topics in sequence. At the beginning, only the first menu button is enabled. As sections are completed, the next menu button is enabled, based on the completion of the previous one.
Hi Christine! Looks like Michael is assisting you here, but I wanted to pop in and welcome you to E-Learning Heroes Let us know if you need anything further.
@Michael Hinze, that is sort of what I am trying to achieve however, I using buttons as opposed to hot spots. Essentially, I need the buttons to go through 2 state changes: disabled > normal > complete (visited).
I finally figured it out.
My Solution
On the menu screen:
For additional control, I created a warning pop-up that prevents the user from advancing to the end of the course until all of the buttons on the menu are in the completed/visited state.
This is kind of hairy, but I hope I explained it clearly. If not, please feel free to adjust and share with the community!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Christine
