resetting 4 buttons to normal/initial state on main slide after visiting 4 subslides
Sep 14, 2016
Hi
Can anyone tell me how to reset buttons a on main slide, only 4 subslides have been visited.
here is how I would like it to work.
On main slide 4 buttons (In Normal State).
Each button takes learner to a new slide/subslide.
Upon return to the main slide, it shows 4 buttons are visited after 4 subslides are viewed.(so far all of this works).
If learner returns to this main slide at a later point, how can I reset all the buttons back to Normal, as if they've not reviewed this main slide and subslides before?
I tried to use a counter to add 1 each time a subslide is viewed, and the counter works but the button state change is not changing back to Normal. I have tried changing the main slide "When revisiting" feature, but no success.
Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Hi K B
sounds like some of your triggers may be conflicting can you upload the story file - easier for someone to help if they can work with your setup.
Hi,
Here is a small segment that shows (hopefully) what I am trying to do.
Thank you!
Hi K b
see if the attached is what you are after. I changed your trigger on main slide to 'when timeline starts' not when variable changes.
It is returning the first button to New state as per your trigger
Thanks Wendy.
The main slide buttons are not resetting to initial (blue) state in the example you provided.
Anyone other ideas? This seems like it should be so simple.
That's because your trigger was set to change it to the New state which was the yellow state you had - and I left it at that. I wouldn't use the Normal state - I would duplicate the blue colour you want and call it something else.
This was your comment on the first slide
reset main slide buttons, back to Normal, Or some other state,
here it is updated with a new blue state
Wendy,
Hmm I don't see the buttons change to the new state you added. Not in preview and not in published modes. I do see that the main slide and subslides are set to resume saved state, I'll keep tinkering.
thank you again!
Hi
see if the attached video shows the behaviour you are after
Wendy,
YES, that is exactly what I need to do. Now I fear it was working in the previous file you attached but not working for my Storyline 2, update 10 files.
No k b
I made more changes and added variables to get that behaviour.
Here is the updated file - I just wanted you to see the video to make sure that is what you were after.
