I am making a simple e-learning with just one slide. The user has to click the correct button. After the interaction I jump back to the same slide. But the slide remembers the last button clicked even when I say "reset to initial state".
How can I tell storyline not to remember the button click?
I tried jumping to another slide and then directly jump back. That works, but since I use a java script this solution is very slow.
I published the story file - I am not seeing that behaviour or maybe I don't understand what you mean and I don't read music.
If I click the 'A' button and its not correct - I get the Not right layer with the answer and it takes me back to the slide and no button is selected. In the image below I have clicked the A button and returned C button and returned E button and returned and none of the actual A - G buttons stay selected. Then I checked and you don't actually have a Selected state on those buttons. So I guess you are talking about the logic rather than the physical state of the button?
Sorry I'm not going to be any help to you - also I didn't find that it ran slow at all.
I help you a little bit. I put a line in the storyline which tells you the correct note.
I appreciate your help. But I think I was not clear with my issue. It is not about the states of the buttons but the action.
What happens is that the variable Correct = false at the beginning of the slide. If you press the correct button Correct becomes true and you get the layer right. If not you get the layer wrong.
What happens is that when you press the correct note
1. the layer "right" pop up.
2. It jumps back to the slide
3. The variable correct becomes false
4. The java calculates a new note
and now I want to stop to be able to press a button again. But storyline remembers there was a button click, sees the variable correct is false and gives the layer wrong.
For the first round this works perfect. But... if I want to play the slide again, like adding a trigger jump to this slide when button A1/G1 is disabled it runs automatically again the wrong layer.
I think I give up and make to identical slides and jump from one to the other (see attachment). It is a bit ridiculous. Now it works, only a bit slower.
see attached story file. I am not sure if you have custom nav buttons to move from the Learning notes slide but I have added a trigger to jump to slide (next slide) when timeline ends if correct = true.
Get to second slide and click button to jump to Learning notes slide - all buttons are enabled ready to go again...is this what you mean?
Yes, that was also my workaround. To make an extra slide and after visiting this 2nd slide then I can go back. When you make the 2nd slide identical to the first you don't notice you have 2 slides. It would be eleganter though not to have this second slide, but it works.

Hi Marcel
Could you use a true false variable to reset the button when timeline starts
Hi Wendy,
I tried to disable the buttons and then set them to normal again. But it still remember the last click.
Do you want to upload the slide and I'll take a look
Hi Wendy.
Here is the the storyline file.
If I change jump to slide "1.2 jump slide" on the layer "right" it works fine. But it is getting slow because of the java script.
(I use storyline 1 update 7)

Also did you know there was a SL 1 update 8 release --> http://articulate.com/support/storyline/issues-addressed-in-the-latest-articulate-storyline-update

Hi Marcel
This is first screen - when I select G I get the wrong answer layer
When I do the next one D is says wrong it was A....and even when I fluke it and get one right it stills says I am wrong...
I even added the other variables to the screen to try and work out when i could force it to be correct...but the correct never turned to true...
That is also what I am experiencing. If you now change on the layer "right" jump to slide 1.2 it works perfectly, but slower.
Ok..try these triggers
On Right Layer:
On Learning notes slide:
Worked for me - once I got the correct answer returns to the slide and all buttons disabled
Thanks Wendy for your thinking.
