Variables Help Needed

I don't think you need the conditions on the next Button on the layers. You may need the variables Box1, Box2, and Box3 for some other use in the program somewhere, but not to advance.

The user only gets to layer 1 if they click Box1, so you don't need to check if the variable is true before they click next. Trust the system.

Setting the navigation to Free did not help, although I thought it would.

Deleting the conditions from the Jump to trigger on each slide did help, although I'm at a loss to explain why. Those conditions should not prevent advancing.

Restricted navigation will prevent the user from advancing until the timeline finishes, but in this case, the conditions had something to do with it, too.

Thanks Walt!  For now, I've placed the briefcases with the points on seperate slides (instead of placing it in layers) and updated the navigation. 

I'll play with it more tomorrow.  I should be able to use variables and triggers with no issues.

Hi Sindy,

As Walt mentioned restricted navigation will prevent the user from advancing using the next button until the timeline reaches the end. This will also impact any triggers you've added to your slide's next button with conditions to do something else such as show a layer when the user clicks the next button. Under this set up - the next button isn't activate until the slide timeline ends, so the trigger will not execute either. 

Thank you both for the guidance!  Totally makes sense.  I'll update the course accordingly. 

Thanks again
