I want my text to be hidden until each button is pushed. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Also, my next button should be hidden and it's not. Please help.
I fixed both issues for you. I took out the triggers that had the text change to hidden, and just used the option in the states to set the initial state to "hidden". That fixed the problem.
The Next button was showing up because there was a trigger that said "show Next button when timeline ends". I changed it so that every time you click on a button it checks to see if the other buttons are visited, if they are, then the Next button appears. It is set up that way so no matter what order the user clicks on them, they won't get stuck on the slide.
Add a trigger to each button that says "Play Media", Pick your sound file, when "user clicks", Name of Button.
I would also add a trigger that stops the other audio files, in case the user decides to click a different button before the first audio file has finished playing.

Ive never really tried to deal with states and text.
Why not just throw the text in layers and show / hide those layers?
Kendra,

Hope this helps.
Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted.
Another question. What if I want to add audio for each. How is that going to work?
