Variables and Tabs

Hi Holly - There are many ways to go about solving this.

Since you're working with grouped objects for each tab, I added a visited state to each tab's background rectangle. Visited states can be evaluated with triggers.

I added a rectangle "cover" over your Tab 6 to indicate the tab is not yet available. Using triggers, I changed the cover graphic to hidden when all 5 tab backgrounds were visited.

I'm attaching the updated .story file for you to review.

Thank you Montse!

I couldn't figure this out and I'm so thankful.  You've given me another tool to use on current and future SL files.

Thank you again!

You're very welcome, Holly!  Grouped objects present a little extra work when you're trying to evaluate states or hide them altogether. 

Here's a good video on the different ways to work with grouped objects:

That worked! Thanks again, Montse. 

The video will certainly help.  I'm afraid I'll forget how to do what you've taught me when I go to do it again. :)

Thanks so much!

My pleasure! And don't worry about forgetting or asking the same question again in the future. That's what this community is all about. Good luck!

You're the best Montse. Thank you so very much!

I have so much to learn. :)
