I am a new user in Articulate 360. I have objects on a slide that appear one by one. I don't want the Next arrow to appear until after the last object is displayed. I can see how to hide the Next arrow until Slide Properties. How can I make it re-display once everything is shown on the slide? Thanks!
The easiest way is to use a trigger. First trigger would be to change the state of Next button to disabled (or hidden based on your preference) on timeline start. Then another trigger below that one that states change state of Next button to normal when timeline ends.
That's the easiest. Or you could do it based on a cue point that you place after the last object is visible.
Thanks for your comment, Randy. I'm sure this is a beginner question, but the Next arrow is not on the timeline. It is in slide properties, but it appears that all I can do there is hide it or display it. I've attached a screen shot.
Correct, but you can still interact with it in the triggers. You can make a trigger that states change the state of the Next button to disabled when timeline starts. It will be listed under the Player objects.
Like Randy said, you can use triggers to display certain buttons after a set of conditions.
I created this story for you to reference. In this case, I am having my user click the left button, return to the main menu, click the right button, return to the main menu, and then a button appears telling them to move to the next slide.
