Hide Next button until all layers viewed/visited
I know how to hide the Next navigation button until a certain logic is satisfied. For example if a number of buttons are selected (all or any). But I need to hide the Next button until all layers of a slide are viewed. Anybody know of a way to do this?

Hi Tim
if the layers are visited in a particular order, you could add a T/F variable that triggers when the timeline starts on that last layer.
Then trigger the next button to change state to normal when variable changes to True.
That may work - easier to help if we can see the actual file setup.

Hi Tim,
Could you set up a trigger "Change state of Next button to normal when state of Button A, Button B, etc are visited"? That seems to work for me.
Hi Alexia!
Thanks for popping in to offer Tim assistance. Not sure if it will assist since it's a bit dated, but it could certainly assist someone that runs across this thread in the future.

I had a situation where I wanted the learner to visit 7 buttons before they could move on. So I changed the sate of the next button when the time line started then changed it to Normal when all buttons were visited.
Thanks for popping in to share here Eric - it's a popular need for sure :)

I've tried all of the above and still cannot get my Next button to appear when the state of my layer triggers is "visited". :(

OK, Here is what I did to make this work. I changed the "State" of the "Next" button to "hidden" when the time line starts. Next I make each button "State" change from "Normal" to "Visited" after each button is clicked on. Then the last part is to change the "State" of the "Next" button to "Normal after each button has been "Visited". So after all buttons have been visited the "Next" button will come back. I have 6 slide in my last module that have this set up. Please if there is an easier way let me know.
I would try with one button first, then copy the button.
Good luck

Your test file given to Teresa above was just what I needed to get me past a roadblock in my eLearning. Thanks, Wendy!
So glad to hear it Gretchen and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Hi Wendy, I have just downloaded the test file as well and solved my problem of hiding both my next and previous buttons. Thank you. Susan
