Motion Path Trigger

The first and most important thing to learn about variables is to give them very explicit, descriptive names, for tworeasons. If they are named well, half of the work of figuring out how to use them is already obvious. Also, when you or someone else comes back three weeks or three years from now to update this material, they will bless you for helping them understand how each variable is used.

I created the first two variables to move the hand down when the user revisits the slide.

You will need a similar variable for each of the other topics.

This can be done with one motion path, if it is set to have a relative start point, which means it starts from where it is, instead of returning to its original spot.

Then I added Motion Path 2 to move it from Multiple Losses to Large Losses, after which it can use Motion Path 1 to move down.

On the slide that is visited, there is a trigger to set the variable to true when the user clicks next.

Edward, I'm thinking that the best way to approach this is to have one hand cursor for each button, have the first one at a normal state, change the rest to an initial hidden state.  You don't even need a motion path if you use the entrance animation.  Have a trigger that changes the current hand to hidden when the state of its associated button changes to visited.  Have another trigger that changes the next hand icon to normal when the state of the previous button changes to visited. 

I hope you can follow what I'm saying.

Walt, you're a genius! You, too, Linda. Thank you both for taking time to respond.
