Using the Prev button with layers
Jul 25, 2016
I have created a slides that have numerous ayers and have successfully disabled the next button. However, I want the prev button to work within the layers (click prev and go back one layer).
How do I accomplish this? I have tried added a trigger to each layer to activate the previous layer when user clicks, but it is not working. As it stands now, when the user clicks the prev button, it takes them back to the previous slide regardless of where they are in the layers.
Thanks!

If you create your own button, and use variables to keep track of which layer to go back to, you should be able to write triggers with conditions that will do what you describe.
Thanks for your response. Have not used variables yet, but I'll give it a try.
Hi Cheryl!
You can learn about variables here. If you wish to post a small demo file, perhaps we can assist you in getting started as well.
Thanks Leslie!
I'm going to practice tonight and they try it tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.
