How to disable the next button until all layers are viewed

Hi Josh, welcome to Heroes!

Have you seen this tutorial on How to Disable the Next Button Until Learners Finish Interacting with a Slide? Although it's for Storyline 1, you can use the same method in Storyline 2.

If you're still getting stuck, attach a sample file here and we'll give you some more pointers! 😊

Thanks Alyssa! 

I followed the instructions on the tutorial and managed to get it work for one of my slides but not another. Does it matter if i'm using images as triggers to open layers or does it only work if I use a button or hot spot? 

Thanks again :) 

Hi Josh, 

It should work the same for images as it does for buttons or hotspots. Can you share your file here? I'd be happy to take a closer look!

Hi again Alyssa! 

I thought I had it figured but it turns out I really done. In the attached file you'll see Slide 1.1 works how I want it (as in all layers must be visited before the user can proceed to the next slide). If you look at slide 1.4 though, I've set it up exactly the same (as far as I can tell) but it allows the user to progress to the next slide even if all layers haven't been visited. 

I tried adding hot spots to see if that made a difference but I still haven't been able to make it work. Any advice would be a massive help :) 

Thank you! 

Hey Josh, you were so close! Just one little tweak and you'll have it. ☺️

On slide 1.4, you used hotspots, which don't have states. Instead of hotspots, use transparent rectangles. Then, create a "visited" state for each rectangle.

Have a look at the change I made in your file. Will that work for you? 

Hi Alyssa, 

How do I create transparent rectangles?  Is this just a text box? 
Thanks

Hi Jessica!

That's a great question! Here's how to create a transparent rectangle:

• On the Insert tab, click Shape.
• Select the rectangle shape.
• Insert the rectangle on the slide. 
• Right-click the rectangle, and select Format Shape.
• In the Fill tab, drag the transparency slider to 100%.
• On the Line Color tab, select No Line.
• Click the Close button. 

And in case you're a visual learner like me, here's a quick video of that process!
