After clicking a master page item, go to a layer rather than go back to the base layer?

We have a course that has a master slide with clickable items (with a custom close button) that show a layer (eg: menu, resources etc) that the learner can click at any time throughout the course.

Some of the slides inside our course have a base layer plus multiple layers - with the "next" button on the very last layer. So the problem we have is, if the learner is one of these slides and are clicking through the "layers" and before getting to the last layer then presses one of the items on the master slide it takes them back to the base layer that has no "next button" and then they are stuck. 

Is there a way to jump to a layer after clicking a master page item rather than it go back to the base layer?

Thank you, I have attached a rough example.  

  • Can't look at your project, but you can try these:

    1. Set master slide layers to not hide other layers so you don't lose the next button
    2. Mask or set slide layers to disable base slide objects at some point so they can't be clicked so you don't open the master layers
    3. Set or toggle a variable on the master slide or layer that triggers the current slide to reopen the needed layer
    4. Move the next button to the slide base but keep it hidden until the final layer is shown. That way it remains available

    Thank you! It's looking like your No.1 suggestion is working. Much appreciated.
