Hi, I'm having problems with one of my branched scenes once the learner has looked at both videos and the press the Next button it will not go to the next scene. I have in place several triggers (True/False) but no matter I do it will not move on.
your trigger to change the variable of "slidecomplete" is a bit "wrong" or not working as you would expect (I had this problem once too). The user has to move the mouse over your title text to initiate the change. Variables always need an action to change, so if you want to change a variable by changing many other variables it still needs an action like clicking on a button or something like that.
So what I did was creating a rectangle with a "correct" state for each marker. When you hover over the marker it changes its state from normal to "correct". Once all rectangles are "correct" the "slidecomplete" variable changes to true and you can click on next. On top of your picture I inserted a variable reference to see, what´s happening with the "slidecomplete" variable.
When you want to use this, you can place the rectangles outside of your slide, so the user can´t see them and everything still works. :) Oh and delete the variable reference or put it outside of the slide too, because they don´t need this either. ;)
I made a video for you, because I only have SL3/360.
you forgot to set your image 1 and 2 variables to change to true. Your next trigger on the first slide only advances when audio, image 1 and image 2 are true. Just use the variable references I mentioned and you can check whats happening when you watch your project. :)
I did what you said. I created two rectangles to change to correct and set the SlideComplete variable. I manage to get the intro slide to true but once both videos and sims have been completed and we go back to the Intro slide, the slide goes back to False. So frustrating what am I missing here?
you use the variable "slidecomplete" on every slide and reset this variable when you visit it. On your intro slide this variable changes when the media ends BUT you have set the slide to "resume saved state" so the variable is set back to false and when you revisit the intro slide the audio does not play again and does not change the variable to true. So maybe you should create a variable for each intro slide seperately. :)
see update to your file. I created two variables one for each branch that are triggered to True on the last slide of each branch. Then the variable on the main slide is used in the trigger to move to the next scene.
Also, on revisit to a slide, when using 'resume saved state' variables are not reset, they need to be triggered to reset.

If you have any question please ask. :)

Thanks Susi, will try it now.
Hi Susi,
Still having problems with scene 2 the SlideComplete just will not work. I have no clue why it's not working. Any advice?

Here's what I have done.
