Hi Kyle - you could add a variable reference on screen to display for testing. The other was just an observation, but setting the state change of the Next button from Hidden to Normal to be in-line with 'when' the user can click the Next button - such as when the Slide5_complete variable changes as mentioned above.

    Leslie,

    Thank you!

    I added the reference, and it did not change after both buttons were clicked or after the media was complete on both. I removed the conditions of the media needing to complete from the layers, and the variable changes as soon as both buttons have been clicked, so the issue lies with those conditions. The next button functions as it should with the conditions removed. 

    Unfortunately, removing the conditions allows the learner to click the next button and advance to the next slide as soon as they click the second button. It doesn't matter which order they click the buttons in either, I tried it both ways.

    I see what you mean about changing the state of the next button to normal when the Slide5_complete variable changes as well. I feel that would also work, if I could just figure out how to get that variable to change while still requiring the media on both layers to be played completely.
