I have a slider and we want the learner to be able to go through the slide and upon return be at saved state. I have done various programming and it was working and now doesn't seem to. It does have locked navigation. It will allow learner to go through the slider and show the next button, but then when returning to the slide, the next button is disabled and the learner can not move through the course. Can you please look at and let me know if you can recommend a solution? Thank you!
If I understand your situation, the problem has to do with the triggers to change the state of the text boxes to hidden when the timeline starts. (these triggers will fire even though you have the slide set to resume saved state)
A better option would be to remove these triggers and instead change the initial state of these text boxes to hidden.
Thanks. I am actually talking about the previous and next buttons. The next button enables when on the slide, but when revisiting, it reverts to disabled, instead of remaining enabled and therefore the learner is stuck and cannot move forward.
I realize when I saved the single scene from the course I did not restrict the navigation. When the navigation is free, it works; but we must have it restricted. See enclosed.
Thanks for sharing your file and for clarifying about the restricted behavior. With that in mind, the best option is to replace the trigger in your panel that changes the state of the next button to Disabled when the Variable is False - Change the state of the Next button to normal when the Variable is True. You do not need to tell the slide to make the Next Button Disabled - the Restriction in the player will handle that. But you do need a trigger to tell it to be normal again.
Thank you!!!! That did it! Appreciate you taking the time! And it's okay to have the Timeline start and the Slide6_2 changes for the normal button? Just checking. It seems to work!!! :)
Unlock the navigation and set it to Restricted. Then change this trigger:
to this one:
The way it is currently, changing the variable is the only thing that will change Next to Normal, which is the way you want it the first time through. Adding the else, changes it when the timeline starts, if the variable is already True.

Hello Patti,
I do not seem to be able to replicate the issue in your file. When I leave the slide and return, the Next button is normal.
