Sorry if this has been covered but if it has I cant find an answer to it.
Okay I have a screen which has text and voice over within this screen I want the learner to branch to 3 other screens and view the content before moving from the main screen. I have used 3 rectangles with text as the trigger buttons. the to and fro branching works fine.
I have visited states
A true / false variable set to false
I have set a trigger to adjust the values to true when visited
I have set the next button to - next slide when condition is (variable name) ==Equal to true.
I Also have disable next button and on timeline start.
Now when I preview the slide it works great - when I preview the course the next button remains disabled.
What am I doing wrong? how do I fix this as I'm starting to look daft :( Please help...
Hi Wendy thanks for the quick replay.This is an odd issue I have been playing with it again and the the issue is the viability of the next button. If I Disable it wont reinable after the condition is met. The next slide trigger works fine until I add the disable next button trigger.
I've tried Disable next when timeline starts and adding change state of next button to normal when timeline starts on condition variable xx is =true (as you suggested)
I've also tried the simple (but perhaps confusing way) Disable when start and normal when ends.
That would be great if you could have a look. I'll rebuild it the way I had it and you'll be able to see whats happening I'm on a call I'll have it to you in 30 mins or so. Thanks so much Wendy :)
Hi Wendy - I've attached the file. I have set it as I had it originally in the hope you can tell me where I've gone wrong. I'm making another course that will repeatedly use this function so if you see a solution I'd be very grateful if you could provide me with how it was achieved so I can emulate in the other course.

Hi Tony
Try change state of next button to normal when timeline starts on xx slide on condition variable xx is =true

Hi Wendy I keep having issues uploading this course :( I'll try again now.
Thanks

Hi Tony
I'm having issues downloading the file.
Can you create a new project file and just import in the main slide with the three branch slides and the slide following the main slide.
Here is a rough sample of what I think you are trying to do
