I could really use some quick help. I have several screens with multiple layers. The client insist that each layer be locked down (restricted navigation) preventing the student from clicking to the next layer until the audio for the present layer as completed.
Thank you so much or such a quick response. Shown here are the options I
see when trying to apply a condition to the trigger. I'm not seeing what
you are showing me.

I set up a trigger to change the state of the next button to either hidden or disabled when timeline starts, and change the state to normal when the audio completes.
This is what I have going on. I have the Hollywood Squares on the left. This graphic is replicated on eight separate layers.
As soon as the timeline ends on this base layer, the state of the first box turns green. All subsequent layers do the same for the next layer.
Audio instructions tell the student to click each green box. When they do, they advance to the next layer for additional content.
Each layer as its own audio.
I have a variable set up that tracks if each box (button) has been selected. If they attempt to move ahead by clicking the NEXT button on the player, they receive a lightbox warning sending them back.
Problem:
The client has recently decided to have each layer locked down. Even thou the boxes don’t turn green until the end of the respective timeline, they could click the next box, cut the audio short, and move ahead. The client does not want this. He wants to force the user to hear every audio before advancing. In other words, not until the box turns green.
I notice you have duplicated the images on every slide layer. I stripped it back so that only the audio and text is on each layer. Here is a sample slide - hope that helps
That is so clean. If I had the time, I would certainly redo this screen using a different approach. The problem is I have five more just like it. I noticed I’m not able to click the second or third box to advance to the next layer before the end of the timeline (media completes). How did you do that?
I created a disabled state for each of the rectangles and set that as the initial state then I trigger a change of state to selected when the audio finishes on the previous layer...Hopefully someone has another workaround for you in the meantime...good luck

Hi Phil
add a trigger to the button the user is clicking. Show layer xx layer when the user clicks on button on condition media (audio) completes.
Wendy,

Thanks Ashley for the heads up. I attached the screen shot. For some reason I’m not able to copy and paste in the forum.
