1. I have set my "next" button as disabled when the timeline begins.
2. This slide/screen has a video in it. I have set the "next" button to normal when the video ends. and another when the timeline ends. This works fine.
Problem:
However when I revisit the slide, the "next" button stays disabled till the video is complete. Is there a way I can change this?
Not the Solution:
The normal method which is used for interactive screens with buttons etc. doesn't seem to work. I usually set a trigger for "next" to be normal if the state of those "buttons" are visited.
Any help will be hugely appreciated. The course is due tomorrow!!
You need to create a variable for each video and set it to true when the media completes, then have a trigger to change state of next to normal when the timeline starts on condition that the variable is true

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. The problem was solved by using a variation of Phil's suggestion above.
1. Created a variable - with the base value as false.
2. By setting a trigger on the video to adjust variable to true. this was the key - I was missing earlier. I was trying to look for slide variables - when it had to be set on the video.
3. And creating a slide trigger to change the state of the next button to normal - on the condition the video is equal to true.

Hi Phil,
Thank you for the quick response. Can I check how to I set it to "true" when the media completes?
because when I create a variable - i can only set the values...
Set it to false when you create it.
Then create. Trigger to Adjust variable (your variable) to true when the media completes (your video).
Thanks Phil. But it still doesn't seem to be working. I have to wait for the video to finish playing each time before the next button enables.
:(
Do you have your menu set to restricted or this option selected?

Hi Wendy,
I have the menu restricted option selected, but I have not restricted the buttons.
