I need help with triggers

I need help with triggers

I hope you can help me, I imagine the solution is simple, but I'm not able to move forward:

1. The forward button starts the "hidden" slide.
2. By clicking on the (+) button the lightbox appears and the forward button changes to "normal".
3. When closing the lightbox, the forward button should remain "normal", but it returns to the initial "hidden" state.

How can I prevent the button from returning to its initial state?

    It is a simple solution: Move the trigger that changes the state of the forward button so it appears before the trigger that lightboxes the slide. You can do that by selecting the trigger, and then clicking the up arrow: 

    FYI: Triggers that need to run on a slide must appear before the trigger that jumps to or lightboxes another slide. (The program can't run a trigger if it has already left the slide.) 

    I also recommend that you give objects meaningful names. It's much easier to troubleshoot "forward button" than "Picture 1."
