Please look at the attached. When the learner goes to slide 1.2 they click on a box and visit slides 1.3, 1.4 or 1.6. The next button takes them back to 1.2. Once all three slides (1.3, 1.4 and 1.6) are visited, the next button on 1.2 should appear and the learner should go to slide 1.5. What am I doing wrong?
The correct trigger should be "Change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on condition that button 1 is visited AND button 2 is visited AND button 3 is visited.
Ok. Thanks for the help. One last question. When I am on slide 1.2 and push the previous button, it takes me to slide 1.3 instead of 1.1. How do I fix that?
In regards to your behavior of the previous button, it's based on what the user saw last as the default - so you'd need to add in a specific trigger that when the user clicks the previous button it goes to a particular slide.
When I preview the file, it goes from slide 1.1 to 1.2, I click all the icons, return to 1.2 - they all show visited. On 1.2 when I click the previous button it takes me to 1.1, on 1.2 when all are visited and I click next it takes me to 1.5
On Slide 1.1 - you had the next button disabled when timeline starts, but then you didn't have it changing to 'normal' on the slide you had a trigger on the layer to 'change next button to normal when media completes (but there is no media on the layer) - I changed this to when timeline ends (timeline set at 5 secs if you need it longer just extend it)
Slide 1.2 - See the trigger changes on this slide. I removed a lot of the triggers that weren't required.
You don't need to trigger change of state for the button to Visited SL knows to do that IF the button has a visited state which yours do.
So it goes 1.1, 1.2 then 1.3, back to 1.2 (button 1 visited), 1.4 (button 2 visited), 1.6 (button 3 visited) 1.2 Next button enabled click and go to 1.5 or use Prev button to go to 1.1

Everything else should stay the same.
Hope this helps,

Hi Kendra,
I used a variable to do adjust the state of the next button.
Like Cary, I've found that variables almost always work better than states.
Ok. Thanks for the help. One last question. When I am on slide 1.2 and push the previous button, it takes me to slide 1.3 instead of 1.1. How do I fix that?
Sorry...another question...On the variable, why a count of 5?
Tied the variables. It didn't work. I'm missing something, but can't find it.
I'm instructing a class today. Hopefully someone can jump in and help. I'll be able to help this evening.
Ok. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Kendra,

Ok. I got that, but my next button is showing up BEFORE all slides are visited. I don't know what I'm missing.
Change the trigger on slide 1 .2 that is attached to the previous button to point directly to slide 1.1'
I'm confused. On mine it shows that the previous button is going to slide 1.1
Hi Kendra
When I preview the file, it goes from slide 1.1 to 1.2, I click all the icons, return to 1.2 - they all show visited. On 1.2 when I click the previous button it takes me to 1.1, on 1.2 when all are visited and I click next it takes me to 1.5
I'm not sure what the issue is?
That is how many times the variable is referred to. For example in the first slide trigger it is referred to twice.
Wendy, I must be missing something from what I sent you to the original. Not sure what it is, so I am reattaching my original.
On Slide 1.1 - you had the next button disabled when timeline starts, but then you didn't have it changing to 'normal' on the slide you had a trigger on the layer to 'change next button to normal when media completes (but there is no media on the layer) - I changed this to when timeline ends (timeline set at 5 secs if you need it longer just extend it)
Slide 1.2 - See the trigger changes on this slide. I removed a lot of the triggers that weren't required.
You don't need to trigger change of state for the button to Visited SL knows to do that IF the button has a visited state which yours do.
So it goes 1.1, 1.2 then 1.3, back to 1.2 (button 1 visited), 1.4 (button 2 visited), 1.6 (button 3 visited) 1.2 Next button enabled click and go to 1.5 or use Prev button to go to 1.1
Hope this helps.
