Help Needed with Variables in Disabling the Next Button

Hi Angie,

Without seeing your slilde, it's hard to say for sure. But two things come to mind

Trigger order can be important...so you might try switching the triggers around.

Also, have you set up a condition for the opposite "condition". So, jump to the next slide when user clicks next if Slide6Complete=True.

Hi Angie and welcome to the Forums!

Rebecca is right on all points. First, hard to tell without seeing the slide. If you're capable of sharing, that would help.

If not, keep in mind any trigger that navigates away from where the user currently is such as a layer or slide, any triggers tied to that same action that adjusts a variable needs to be on "top of the stack" of triggers for that button.

Your issue with the Layer showing prior to clicking though seems odd. Do you have any other triggers that show the Layer other than the screen grab you shared. There may be a conflict of interest. 

When using variables it's a good idea to put a text field on the slide to display the variable.

Simply create a text field and fill it with %YourVariable% - wrap it with %.  This will allow you to see when the variable is or is not changing.

Rebecca and Kevin, I honestly had not thought about the trigger order itself so this certainly could be part of my issue.  I will try that and see what happens.  Kevin, this is the only trigger for that layer.

Bill, I have not used the variable text field before but am going to try it out immediately!

Having this forum is a blessing for a newbie.  Thanks to all and I will let you know if this works!

Great Angie! Keep us informed on how you're doing.
