Remembering states from previous slides

Hi All
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I have delivered a course with a text box that can be hidden or shown by clicking a button, this was recieved well from our client but one of their comments was for the state to be remembered moving through the course. So if on slide 1 the text box was hidden slide 2 would also have to be hidden but if on slide 2 the state changed to normal then the text box on slide 3 would have to be normal.
I have attached an example of the text box if anyone is up for the challenge
Thanks in advance
Luke

Hi Luke,
This is possible using variables.
Take a look at this article to get started.
Hope this helps
Hi Harri,
Thanks for the reply but my main struggle is getting the variable to work throughout the course, I didn't want to put the variable into my example as I didn't want people to get hung up on something that (currently) doesn't work.
If anyone can push me in the right direction that will be a fantastic help.
If I understand your request correctly what you need to do is set a variable on the first slide to change based upon the state that object is in, then on the next slide you change the state of the object based on the variable.
I've mocked it up quickly in the you file.
Hope this helps.
Hi Harri,
Sorry for replying so late, thank you so much for providing the demo for me, I had to make some minor adjustments to the triggers but ultimately I managed to get it working throughout my course.
I've attached a working file if anybody requires something similar.
Thanks again
Thanks Luke for sharing your example back with us, I'm sure someone in the community will find it helpful!
