Next button not enabled until animation finishes

Mar 11, 2014

I need the text animiations to finish before an end-user can click on "next" - how would I do that?  I am assuming I can do it using variables - but I am not familar with how to work with variables yet...can you help

thanks,

Hi Dana,

Although locking the user to a slide isn't something I recommend, here's a way you can achieve what you want off the top of my head:

1)Create a t/f variable (say 'end') with an initial value of false.
2)Create a trigger in the form of : Adjust value of 'end' to false when timeline of 'slide' starts.
3)Create another trigger in the form of : Adjust value of 'end' to true when timeline of 'last animation' ends.
4)Edit the "go to next slide trigger" and add conditional statement : if end==false

Repeat 2,3 and/or 4 for every other slide.

Hope this helps,
Alex
