Player Skin Buttons
Jan 21, 2014

Hi ,
I am one of the basic templates provided in storyline as a test case, so I can learn the product, its the blackboard skin. I was wondering if it is possible to hide/unhide the next /previous buttons for each slide based on a trigger or on a set point on the time line. I don't want the present all the time on some slides but instead after a set time period and I don't want to have keep adding in a new button on each page. Is there a solution to this, can I access these objects on the skin and if so how?

Hi Mike,
You can't hide/unhide the player buttons based on a trigger, but you could disable them until a user has interacted with all the slides elements. If you were using custom buttons, you could then have them appear at a particular point on the timeline or again when a user has interacted with specific elements.
Thanks Ashley, I will try to see if I can do it using your suggestion.

One last question on this topic, I guess if you cannot access the Next/Previous buttons the same goes for the Notes/Menu Tabs also? I was just wondering if there is a way to hid/unhide these and if you could would it then allow the main presentation to fill the screen?
Mike, for each slide you can selectively turn on/off tabs like Notes, Menu, Glossary. See here for info: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/controlling-a-slide-s-advance-behavior-and-other-slide-properties.aspx towards the bottom of this post.
