I have several short quizzes throughout a module. Right now, when you answer the final question of a quiz correctly, it automatically takes you to the first page of the next scene. That's the right place to go, but I was wondering: Is there a way to have the NEXT button appear after the correct-answer layer has appearered so the user can choose to click to the next scene?
if you open the layer properties of the slide and check the next button option then add the trigger to the next button 'jump to scene X' when users clicks next button. You may also need to change option from automatically advances to 'by user' found also in slide properties.
Hi, Shel -- Thanks for reaching out! Wendy's advice should do the trick, but in case you wanted to take a look, here is an article on Adjusting Slide Properties for your review, as well. :)
Hi, Shel -- Do you have a file you might be able to share to better illustrate what you have in mind? It may be helpful so that others are able to chime in with additional suggestions on how to accomplish this. :)
Hi, Chrisstine. Absolutely. Here's one scene that has two icon/buttons on the top-level page. The user must click through both before they can use the NEXT button to proceed to the quiz. I'd like to disable the NEXT button on that top-level page until the user has complied. Thanks!
I added a trigger to top level to disable next button when timeline starts and then another trigger to change state of next button to normal when timeline starts if 'honesty' = true and 'iconfinished' = true.
I DID miss something, but I was close. Changing the state of the NEXT button to normal WHEN THE TIMELINE STARTS. That's what I missed. I didn't know you could have two triggers for the same button with different actions but the same condition (timeline starting), but now that I see it, it makes total sense. Thank you again!
Interestingly, it works on the file you sent me, but when I implemented it on my project, it didn't -- the NEXT button didn't revert to normal after I visited both 2nd tier pages. Hmm...
Shel, in the original file you sent me there were only 3 variables - I used IconFinished and Honesty - but in this one you have another variable IP which is what you have used.
Just check the variables that are being triggered on those two slides and then adjust accordingly.

Thanks, Wendy, but the catch is that users have to complete several separate second-tier pages before they can move forward on this page.

Hi Shel
see if this works how you want.
I added a trigger to top level to disable next button when timeline starts and then another trigger to change state of next button to normal when timeline starts if 'honesty' = true and 'iconfinished' = true.
Hope this helps
Thank you, Wendy. It sounds a lot like what I already tried, but I may have missed something. I'll let you know.

Yay! Glad you got it sorted.
You can have multiple triggers on a button you just need to watch trigger order - they will fire in the order you have them.
e.g. if you have the following triggers
means it will jump to the slide first and the second trigger won't fire.
Order would need to be

Do you want to upload your updated story file and I'll take a look for you
Of course! Here you go...

I think I've been staring at this too long. That makes perfect sense, and now it works (of course). Thank you again!
No problem - a fresh set of eyes can help ;-)
