I am building my first course and, after creating well over 100 slides, I have run into a roadblock - after spending in excess of 10 hours trying to build and rebuild the slide (which I think shouldn't be that hard), I'm feeling that I won't be able to solve this problem without help. I remember seeing somewhere that you could purchase remote access help for Storyline but I can't seem to find it. If you know where I can get this help, please send me the link.
If you can create a new project and import the offending slide here, you can add it as an attachment and someone in the forum will take a look at it, and can probably help you.
Thank you very much for this. I'm a bit shy given that this is my first project and I suspect I am just not familiar enough with the tool - my mistakes are probably rookie ones.
There are three slides where I am trying to accomplish the same results. I would like for the learner to have reviewed all ten slides before being able to click to the next slide. I tried to use variables with a trigger so that the learner could not move to the next slide until all ten (or 11) layers had been clicked on.
I suspect that the way I designed the slide is the problem. I came very close to having it work but for some reason could not get what I needed done in the end.
Created a trigger 'change state of Next button to disabled when timeline starts on xx slide'
Step 10 layer:
Created a trigger 'change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on layer 10' - (this could be changed to when timeline ends, when user clicks something - any condition you like)
This may work for you - otherwise, let me know what variables you have set up and your preferences for hiding or disabling the Next button and if you have any conditions on the layers (user must listen to all audio, wait till timeline ends) - that way you can change the condition of when the Next button becomes active.
It doesn't appear to be working. When I click "next" after clicking through the 10 step process, it doesn't go to the next slide. That is the same problem I've been having all along.
Hey Gates! Glad you are all fixed up! Big thanks to Wendy for taking a look and lending a hand. Don't ever feel shy about posting a question or sharing your project! You never know who YOU'RE helping out! This community is great for everyone to learn from each other-- no issue too big or small. :)

Hi Gates
if you could upload the .story file (source file) easier for someone to help you troubleshoot.
Here you go Wendy. Thanks for following up.
It seems that the variables that I created did not get saved when I isolated the three slides.
Hi Gates
see attached...I only worked on the first slide.
Base layer:
Created a trigger 'change state of Next button to disabled when timeline starts on xx slide'
Step 10 layer:
Created a trigger 'change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on layer 10' - (this could be changed to when timeline ends, when user clicks something - any condition you like)

Hi Wendy,
Thanks so much for the quick turnaround.
It doesn't appear to be working. When I click "next" after clicking through the 10 step process, it doesn't go to the next slide. That is the same problem I've been having all along.
Wendy,
I deleted a trigger that I had created and linked the slide to the next scene and it's working. Thanks so much for your help.
It appears that I was complicating things a whole lot more than I needed to.
Have a great evening.
Gates
It's because you have your slides in scene so it's jump to next scene or a specific slide number like 2.1
Yes, I finally get it:) Thanks Wendy. Appreciate the help.
Sorry Gates missed your reply - our posts crossed over I think - glad you got it sorted - good luck with your project!

You are so right. I am so grateful for the help and I learned something new too!
