Next button timing

Jan 12, 2018

My course is built but the client wants a 3 to 4 second delay before making the Next button active on each slide. Is there a way to do this?

Wendy, Are you able to help me with another issue? It is the Next button issue again but in different circumstances. On the Compensation Checklist Models slide There are a Next and Prev buttons as well as a custom button "Dr. Smith". 

The Next button is disabled until the user clicks the Dr. Smith button and returns to the Compensation Checklist Models slide.

Then the "Next" button becomes active (linked to LP9 Checklist Process" and the Dr. Smith (custom button) displays the visited state.

Hi LaVon

You are jumping away from this slide to Dr Smith then it restarts your 1.1 slide and the first trigger is Change state of Next button to disabled when timeline reaches 3 secs.  You would probably need to add a T/F variable that is triggered to True when they go to Dr Smith slide, then use the variable in the first trigger on 1.1 change state of Next button to disabled when timeline reaches 3 secs on condition that the variable is not equal to True.

Yes there are best practices but that needs to be combined with 'what is your requirement'?

See attached. 

I've added the trigger to adjust the NextButton variable on the Dr Smith slide and adjusted the trigger on Dr Smith slide to change state of Nextbutton to normal when audio completes.
