I have created a slide that I don't want the user to move forward until all tabs have been visited on that page. It also has layers and I want to ensure that they cannot show layers until the timeline ends. I tried to write the trigger but im stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I've used a true/false variable (set to false) then added a trigger to the last slide in the section that adjusts the variable to True when the timeline on the last slide finishes. I then use that variable to change the state of the next button or whatever you're using to move ahead, from disabled to normal. That way, the control that's used to move ahead does not become active until the specific section is complete. Hope that helps. Sure there are other ways using the states of objects as well.
thanks unfortunately all the sections are on the same slide and our client forces us to make sure they visit all sections before moving on. Each layer has audio so if they click to early it overlaps with the audio on the base slide.
try changing the close button on each layer to hidden and then trigger to change to normal when the media completes (text to speech) - that way they can't close the layer till audio finishes. Not sure what you want to happens on the layers where there are additional buttons
thanks they need to visit at least the 6 main layers the additional buttons on some of the layers are optional based on the employees situations. Let me try that and see how it works. Thanks still a beginner.
