I'm glad you got your file working. Triggers run in order, so it's vital to ensure they're positioned correctly. (That's especially true when an action includes a "jump to" trigger. That has to be last, because the program can't run triggers if it's already left the slide where the triggers are.)
FYI: When working with variables, troubleshooting is easier if you put a text-box on the slide(s) with a reference to display the variable's value. That lets you check whether it changes as expected.
