I'm sure this is a configuration problem that I've just been unable to find, but I'm having a problem with the Storyline player. My file publishes fine to LMS. My CBT has several scenes, and the player advances (by user) fine from one slide to the next INSIDE the scene. However, when the user reaches the end of a scene, the "Next" button does nothing when clicked to advance into the first slide of the next scene. Instead, the user has to go to the displayed menu and click the next scene's first slide before the player will advance. This happens with each new scene.
I'd really like for the player to advance through every slide when the user clicks "Next," regardless of whether its the end of a scene.
You should be all set now. It was just that the end of each scene hadn't been linked to the next scene yet. If you click on each individual scene in Story View of your original file, you'll see the end link at the bottom of each scene, indicatiing that no link had been made. You can click on that and choose which scene you'd like to link it to.
I've attached the edited version with all scenes linking to the appropriate one.
Peter, I'm not able to link one particular scene to any other and feel this may be my problem during revisiting the last slide of the scene, the next button will not forward.
The scene in question only contains two slide, both are graded question slides. Once the learner answers the second question, the feedback layer "continue" button moves them to the next scene. However, when revisiting, my previous buttons work but the next button on the second of two slides within the scene will not move me forward.
My only work around has been to keep the feedback layer showing and the user has to click the continue button (instead of the next button) to move forward.
What am I doing wrong?! How come I don't have an option to link this particular scene with the following scene?
Hi Leslie, thanks for your response. The current trigger is pictured below, which makes sense given this is a graded question slide. What isn't happening is during the revisiting of the slide. A next button appears when revisiting, however, it doesn't move the user to the next scene, or anything. How can I apply a trigger to the next button that appears upon revisiting?
And upon revisiting, the only way to move forward again is to leave the feedback layer showing and to click the continue button rather than the next button. Clicking the next button with or without the feedback layer doesn't move the learner forward to the next scene.
My other workaround was to add a results slide in between this T/F slide and the next scene. This produces a next button that allows the user to move to the next scene, but the use of a results slide at this point was not in my original plan.
Hi Jason! I apologize for not getting back with you, but the forums have been hopping
So, it looks like you have a correct/incorrect layer for your question. Can you not set the trigger for the 'continue' button on these layers to jump to scene instead of the standard jump to next slide? Would that help accomplish your goal?
I have already done that works as expected. What's not expected is when the learner revisits the slide. Upon revisiting, a next button is added by Storyline which to me indicates I can use that to move forward instead of clicking on the continue button from the learner's previous attempt at the question. I have to leave the feedback layer unhidden upon revisit in order for the user to not get "stuck" if they were to revisit previous material.
I am getting the same issue. while revisiting the question slide , the next button of storyline is not allowing to move further.Please find my .story file attached here. and let me know where I am doing mistakes.
My current glitch is that the first scene of every story file will not link to the second scene, even when the trigger for the Next button is "Jump to the next scene when the user clicks the next button." I've tried inserting a new slide. I've tried resetting triggers. I've tried importing slides from other presentations. Nothing works. I just want to get from Scene 1 to scene 2.
I found the error. The audio is long and the timeline is even longer.
When I trimmed the timeline to match the audio, you could advance without a
problem.
I hope you can help me. I am revising one of the old storyline 3 contents and one of the slide (test result page 2.12 ) does not jump to the next slide. I checked all the triggers and even added player trigger "next", but that does not work either. I am working on my local file, not on cloud. It seems like those next buttons always jump to the first slide of the scene 2, to repeat the scene, instead of next slide, 2.17. Thank you for your help.
I appreciate you jumping back into this discussion to share your solution. Here's more info on the differences between the options on revisiting a slide for anyone else following!
I fixed it, but I still don't know why the state of the slide "automatically decide" would let the slide going to next. The next slide is always newly visited, so next button should not be affected by the state... that what I thought...

Hi Vicki!
Probably just an easy fix with your trigger configuration. Any chance you could share the .story file so we can have a peek?
Thanks!
Hi Peter!
Thanks for the quick reply, and I hope you're correct!
I've uploaded the file.

Project looks good, by the way
Thank you so much!! As soon I read your note below, it was a palm slap to the forehead, and an "OH YEAH, NOW I REMEMBER!!"
And thanks, by the way, for the compliment on the project. It's still pretty rough, but I'm polishing it. And I LOVE Storyline!

My life would be empty without palm slaps to my own forehead
Take care, Vicki, and good luck finishing up the project!

Hi Jason! Peter has actually taken another position here at Articulate and doesn't make it to the forums often.
You will need to change your trigger to go to the next scene instead of the standard next slide setting.
I hope this helps

Here is the slide before the user answers:

Hi, I got the solution. I am attaching my .story file here. I hope It can help any1 to solve their issue.

Hi Susan! Do you have a .story file that we could take a look at?

That would do it! Glad you were able to identify the issue. Thanks for popping in to share an update.

I found the way! I changed the behavior to "Automatically decide", then it worked!
