I was sure that I had done this before, but I can't seem to get the Next and Previous buttons to appear after all of the 5 images on the screen are visited.
Here is what I have tried:
Using variables, it didn't work
Changing the State to "selected" instead of "visited" and that didn't work
Creating a Button Set, that didn't work
Changing the order of operations, that didn't work
Changing the slide state to "Resume saved state" that didn't work
I can't think of anything else! I'm ready to ask for help. I have attached the slide that is causing me so much grief. :-)
The original file is really huge. I sent you a sample hoping I can replicate the solution. As you can see, I can't seem to get the next button to work here either.
Yes the next button should appear once all the layers are visited. And visited in the order from 1-7.
Having the next button enabled after viewing layers and having the next button enabled after returning to a hub slide from other slides / scenes can be done differently.
I've updated your file by adding in a blank slide after your slide for testing. Changed the triggers on the layers from 'jump to slide 1.1 when uses clicks back button' to 'hide layer this layer when user clicks back button'.
Thank you Wendy you are my HERO! I implemented this in one of my other modules and it worked.:)
Let me try and create a sample of the hub slide to other slides and send it to you. I am using the "Jump to slide when User clicks.... " trigger both from the hub slide and back.Is there any other trigger that would work for the same action?
Those triggers are fine for to/from the hub - the trigger to change the next to normal will be when timeline starts on the hub on condition that all the pictures are 'visited' and set the revisit property to 'resume saved state'.
I forgot there is a bug with the next button in hidden state in SL2 (I thought it had been fixed) so you can't use states in the trigger you need to use variables.
I have created five T/F variables all default to false : Outline1, Outline2...Outline5.
On each Outline slide I have a trigger to adjust variable Outline1 to True when timeline starts - repeated on all outline slides.
On the hub slide the trigger is now:
Change state of Next button to Normal when timeline starts on condition Outline1=true AND Outline2=true AND Outline3=true AND Outline4=true AND Outline5=True.

Hi Shubha
you said when the user clicks the picture they go to other slides but I'm not seeing the jump to slides in the sample.
So I'm assuming you want the next button once all layers have been visited? Do they have to be done in any particular order?
Your file works as expected without me making any changes

Great news Shubha.

Let me know how you go.
Hi Wendy,
Here is a likeness of the problem I'm facing. Really appreciate your time in helping me out.
Thanks,

This worked. Thanks a ton Wendy!
Glad you are all sorted Shubha - good luck with your project.
