I have a flipbook interaction on a slide within Storyline and I have used buttons as navigaiton instead of the player navigation.
Does anyone know how I can have a state (or a variable) which will change the navigation button from "hidden" to "normal" when the engage interaction has been viweed completely?
I know there is an option for the player next button but I want to stay using my own navigation buttons.
I apologize if I got this wrong, but it seems that you want to change the state of a button once the learner has read or clicked through content. If I'm right, you can do this using a true/false variable.
On the page the button is on insert a t/f variable and set initial value to false. Then on that same page insert a trigger that changes the state of the button to (whatever state you want it to go to) IF (open up the conditions panel) the variable is = true.
Then, at the end of the engage interaction insert a trigger than adjusts the variable to true when the learner clicks whatever it is they click to get back to the button whose state you want to change.
Thanks Daniel - I'll take a look and let you know tomorrow.
Phil, the button is on the bottom right of my slide which I have sized to a custom size. My engage interaction is smaller than the storyline slide and is placed so that the button is visible and usable.
Thanks Phil - I thought this was the case but wanted to check :(
For now I am animating in the next button aftert 10 seconds to try and encourage people to view the engage content first before moving on but this might just annoy people so I'm going to test the reaction with learners first.

Hi, Louise:

Phil Mayor did a quick screenr on this may help. http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/13395/93976.aspx
Let me know how it works.
Hi Louise, where is your button, because an engage interaction is a web object and will sit on top of your slide so most likely will cover the button.
Daniel my screenrs are always quick

There is no way to know an snags interaction is finished, this is cease it is a web object
