Next Button (enable after branching slides complete)

HI Susan

hard to say why it's not working without seeing your file - can you share it and someone can take a look for you

I agree with Wendy, it would help to see the course, however you could use a true false variable for each of the branching slides, change the variable to true when the slide has been visited or it's timeline ends, and then back on the main slide, change the next button to available only when all variables are true.

Hi Susan,

Would you care to share a story file of a sample of the slides you are working with? I'm sure you're on the right track and just need a bit of a different perspective to accomplish what you need.

Thanks!

Yes. Here you go. Thanks for your help! 

Hi Susan

here is a basic sample file where the user starts at one slide goes to a scene returns to the main slide goes to another scene returns to the main slide then goes to the final slide.  It's done just using built in states.

The next button is disabled when timeline starts on the main slide and next button is triggered when timeline starts on the main slide on condition button one and two are visited.  The revisit option of the slide is set to 'resume saved states'

Hi Susan

first of all you don't need triggers for the built in SL states so you can remove those.

Set the trigger to change the state of the next button when timeline starts on conditions the three buttons are visited.

And change this option on the slide properties layer 

Susan, Here is what I normally do. Some browsers are finicky with the change on state trigger, so I use both that and change on timeline start when conditions met trigger. I also add a trigger on change to hidden when condition object 1 or object 2 are not equal to visited. Hope this helps.

I also take of the selected state of the buttons. They are not needed since you are jumping to another slide. Just normal, hover, and visited are all that is needed.

Hi Susan

here is your file updated.

I removed the Selected state and button set and all triggers to make the objects visited.

I changed the triggers to 'when timeline starts' on the main slide

I changed the revisit option to 'resumed saved state'

It works for me no matter which order you select the buttons...hope that helps

Thanks Wendy! Yeah, I realized that I had forgotten to change the trigger to "when timeline starts". All works great now. Thank you so much for your help!

Glad you got it working Susan - all the best with your project :-)
