I have a button I created with a trigger to exit the course when the button is clicked. However, I really would like the course to exit 3 seconds after the button is clicked. I was thinking I could use an animation either on screen or off to trigger but not sure the best way to go about doing this.
Also, I have played around with variables but can't seem to figure out how to make a variable work in terms of seconds elapsed. And also, I'm not skilled with using variables at all :-).
Hi Becky! Cool idea.... What if you used a layer here? Show a layer when the button is pressed, and 3 seconds into the layer's timeline, the course closes. You put the trigger on the layer which really has nothing else on it besides the trigger.
Crystal - I thought about that as well. That is basically what I did - added an "exit" button that jumped to the next slide and that slide had the trigger to end the course at the end of the timeline of 3 seconds.
I found a template that someone else created that had some variables that accomplished the same thing but I could not reverse design it enough to figure out how they did it... Oh well - I was able to get the result to be very similar to what I was looking for.

Let me know how you make out!
