Trigger issue when revisiting slide

Aug 30, 2017

I am working on a project in which I have one slide with 3 pictures on it.  The trigger is set so you cannot advance until all 3 pics have been selected and viewed.  the problem is, when the students clicks the previous button, it resets the slide so they have to click them again.  Or, if they click a pic twice, it resets so they cannot advance.  I tried changing the setting to "resume saved state" when revisiting but that has not fixed it.  What can I do aside of taking the trigger off completely?

Can you share your file? A couple of things regarding your button states and triggers:

  1. Don't use the visited state if your users are going to revisit the slide. Create a new state and call it something like "completed" and use that as your trigger for changing your next button. The visited and selected states are temporary states. 
  2. Your trigger to change the state of the button to "completed" should be something like: change state of button4 to completed when user clicks button4. This will make it stick when clicked a second time. You can also have other triggers on that button such as show layer when user clicks.
