Multiple Text Boxes

Hi,

I am building an example like this one on Youtube https://youtu.be/cloRB8WEwHQ?feature=shared, BUT I have 3 textboxes of information, I need the participants to read. I do not want the background of the computer to change, I just want the directions to change.  This example on Youtube is only built to show two pages of text or to change 2 textboxes( which is easy). How do I change multiple text boxes? I was going to use the timeline, but I wanted to give the participants some autonomy, and let them click the next button, I wonder if I have to set up multiple triggers for one item. I am not really sure. 

Thank you,

Natalie

Use 2 layers.

  • On the base layer, place the initial set of instructions and a Continue button the Shows Layer 1
  • On Layer 1 put the second set of instructions and a continue button that completely covers the one on the base layer (copy and paste usually does it)
  • Do the same for layer 2, put the third set of instructions and a continue button.

Add the triggers

  • On the base layer, add a trigger to show layer 1 when the learner clicks the continue button
  • On Layer 1, add a trigger to show layer 2 when the learner clicks the continue button
  • On Layer 2, add a trigger to hide layer 2 when the learner clicks the continue button

I filled the text boxes with white to prevent the text from the base layer for showing through layers 1 and 2. See attached
