Next button is not going to normal state
Jun 08, 2017
I have 3 buttons on the same slide which jump to 3 different slides with a picture and audio. I have the player menu restriction on but the next button activates after the timeline ends, so I disabled the next button when timeline ends.
Each slide is triggered to jump back to the main slide when its timeline ends.
On the main slide I have a trigger to change state of next button to normal when the states of buttons 1, 2, and 3 are visited. I see the next button go to normal for about a second when the final button is pressed but when the last slide jumps back to the main slide, the next button does not go to normal. I have working on this for hours:(

Hi Jennifer
can you share the .story file - easier for someone to tackle your issue if they can see the setup.
Slide 2.4 Thanks!
The file is so large so I just copied this part to another file. It's not acting the same and the colors and formats are different. The trigger on the right are the same but they don't seem to be working at all on this one.
Hi Jennifer
I'm having real trouble with your file - when I open slide 2.4 and highlight any object on screen they are jumping all over the place...anyway try changing your trigger to 'when timeline starts' for the next button and see if that works
I just tried and unfortunately it doesn't. Right as I click the last button, I can see the next button go to normal state for a second before I'm taken to the final slide. After the slide finishes and it returns to the main slide it's disabled again.
I just tried changing them to lightboxes instead of Jumping to the slide and it works. The only problem is that I don't know how to make it so the person can't x out of the lightbox.
You can't stop them x'ing out of a light box. do you have the slide properties of 2.4 set to 'resume saved state'?
I just changed it to resume saved state and my fingers were crossed but no luck:( Thank you for helping!
I wish they would have made the slides into layers on the original slide instead of separate ones. Then I could do it just like the one you helped with with the other night that works like a charm. I'm not sure why this doesn't work. It's not making sense.
Hi Jennifer
I imported slides 2.4-2.8 into a new file. I changed the triggers as follows:
Change state of Next button to disabled when timeline starts on 2.4
Change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on 2.4 on condition that Button 1=visited and button 2=visited and button3=visited.
Slide 2.4 revisit property (resume saved state) and it's working as expected. See attached.
Wendy, I do not know how to thank you. I have worked on this for so long and have been banging my head on the wall. It worked and I am so incredibly relieved. Thank you so much:)
Hi Jennifer
glad to help - sometimes it just takes a fresh set of eyes.
