Next button on layer Dec 22, 2014 By Kendra Barker Is there a way to add a next button on a layer? I have a video that I want the students to watch, but I want them to advance AFTER they have watched the video. Does this need a variable? If so, can you please explain in detail how to make this work. Thank you.

Kendra Barker Author over 9 years ago12/22/14 at 9:38 pm (UTC) No because I was worried that it would take them to the slide without reading the current or go the the layer.

Wendy Farmer Hero over 9 years ago12/22/14 at 9:58 pm (UTC) Hi Kendra here is a sample- I have built in SL1 as you don't indicate which version of SL you are using. If SL2, there are now built triggers to change the state of the default Prev/Next buttons Let me know if this is what you are after Kendra-SL1-VideoLayer-WF.story
