Next button hidden, but will not re-display
Feb 01, 2019

Hello all,
I have a slide with 12 items the learner must click; each click takes them to a slide with an ethical situation about which they must decide what to do. Once they decide and receive remediation, they go back to the selection slide where the item they just visited is greyed out.
The slide triggers are to change the state of the Next button to hidden when the timeline starts." Then the trigger is to "change the state of the Next button to Normal when the state of the 12 items is Visited."
When I preview only the selection slide, it works. The Next button is hidden, then when I click all 12 items, it displays. But, when I preview the entire project, the Next button does not display.
Any thoughts?"

Thanks for getting back, Matthew. That does not work, and causes the greying out to also not work. I have it set to stay on the saved state, and even the automatically decide does not work...
I have created a cleaned up version, but how do I upload it?

Hi Alyssa,
The link to show publicly just takes me back here. How do I publish the file so it can be perused by everyone?
Hey Rick,
You can use the Add Attachment button in the Reply window like this:
Ok, yes, I can add an attachment, but what file? When published, I have a file folder that is full of individual files. What do I grab to attach, something from that folder or just the unpublished storyline file? Here is the unpublished file. I kept most of the structure, while removing the identifying content, and the bugger does not show the Next button after selecting all the items. Thanks for your patience.
Ah, looks like just the unpublished file. Thanks folks!
Hey Rick,
That's exactly what I wanted to take a look at.
The Next button is Hidden when you come back to this slide because that's what the trigger is:
If you adjust this trigger to be: Change state of the next button to Hidden When the timeline starts and add the conditions any of the objects being 'Normal'.
Another note, be sure that the states are changing on your slide by moving the trigger above the jump to slide trigger for each object:
Hope that helps.
Thanks, Leslie. Well, this is quite the puzzlement. That does not work. I made the trigger to be "set Next to hidden when timeline starts and all the objects are Normal."
Might it have to do with the trigger at the bottom to set Next to Normal when all the objects are Visited?
EUREKA! Leslie clued me in. I removed the whole "show Normal when visited" with no conditions trigger, and replaced it with "show Next button as normal when timeline begins if all other items are Visited." Well, that works! As my old TV pal used to say, you guys are the greatest!
Hey Rick, thanks for coming back to give us an update. Kudos to you for figuring out a solution! 🙌
Well, credit where it is due, Leslie put me onto the right path. I was going to rebuild the whole page, but without here help, it would still have not worked.
