Hide Next button until objects have been visited

I'm trying to set one of my elearning slides so that the Next button (on the player) doesn't appear until four objects on the slide have been visited.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Miche...

Hi Michelle

I just realised the rest of my post above didn't appear - sorry.  If you are using storyline 1 you can't hide the button, but you can add a visited state to your four objects and then trigger the next button to only jump to next slide when state of all four objects are visited.  See attached SL1 sample.  hope this helps

    Hi Wendy

    Thanks for your reply.  I'm using S2, and am quite new to Storyline.  How do I change the intitial state of the Next button to hidden or disabled.  I know how to change the state of objects on the slide, but not the inbuilt Next button.

      Hey Michelle it's easy with SL2 - you will find the player next and prev buttons listed in the objects list when you go to create a trigger. Scroll right to the top of list. Trigger is change state of next button to 'hidden' or 'disabled' whichever effect you are after when timeline starts on slide.  Then another trigger to change state to normal when all your objects have been visited.  Hope that helps.

    Wendy,

    I had a problem just like this one and your 2-year-old post solved it. Thank you so much.
