Does anyone know why my slide won't go to the next slide. The trigger is right and there's the arrow linking the two slides in the view at the side but when I preview one slide won't move on. The arrow linking this slide is red... I can't seem to do anything to change this.
Thanks for replying. It was when viewed it for the scene but the when I view the whole project it happens as well ( The whole project has 6 pathways and takes a while to load so I tend to do it scene by scene). Now when I'm viewing the whole thing the next button does not work at all. Nothing will progress unless I've gone to previous slide and then hit next. I'm tearing my hair out here. I had slides progress by uses in story mode and all slides have jump to next slide when user clicks next button trigger. The arrows to show the links between slide progression keep turning red.
Unfortunately it is a confidential work project that I cannot upload but if you have any ideas I would appreciate them!
I was using default Next buttons. I think the problem was that I had set the menu to restricted in the Player settings. have changed it back to free and it seems to be running ok now.
I thought that was weeks worth of work down the drain there!
if you are using SL2 with a restricted menu, the Next button will be unavailable to the user until the timeline finishes...this is different behaviour to SL1.
Glad you could get it working
If you need to use a restricted menu, there is a workaround
Note that even with restricted mode the Next button is always clickable ! So learner and author can click on it but nothing happend. And they believe it is a bug !
I have submitted a future request to let the next button disabled , so no click is possible, till the timeline ends.

Hi Laura,
is your preview for one slide, for the scene or for the entire project ?
If it is for one slide only, you cannot go anywhere. So try to preview the scene.
Otherwise, attach your project to share it, and we can have a look.

Hi Laura
are you using default next button or custom?
