Issue with navigation triggers
This Storyline file I'm attaching includes Jeopardy style trivia game starting in scene 6. Slide 6.3 is the board and each question disappears as it is asked. Once the board is cleared, the triggers correctly go to slide 6.4 which is the Final Jeopardy question. The issue is going back from Final Jeopardy to the Board.
What is supposed to happen is, once the Final Jeopardy Question is answered correctly or incorrectly it goes back to the now empty board and shows the total number of questions answered correctly. While the scoring element is fun, the main objective is that we want them to get at least 80% of the questions correctly, which in this case is 21 out of 26. That message is supposed to show up with how many they got right based on some triggers I made.
Here is the issue that is happening, (and it's really weird because this doesn't happen with any of the other questions) once the final Jeopardy question is answered and the user clicks "continue" it is supposed to trigger back to the board, instead it keeps showing the "correct" or "incorrect" message over and over again. I tried a few things with the triggers to correct this but nothing I've tried has worked.
The fastest way to test this is to preview slides 6.3 and 6.4 only and click through all the board buttons (200, 400, 600, etc.). You'll get the "can't jump to slide" message but the buttons will switch to a hidden state. Once the buttons are all hidden, final jeopardy will appear after you click the "play" button in the player (it will do it automatically in the regular version but in this instance, you have to click play). Then you'll go to final jeopardy and answer it right or wrong and then things will play out as I described.
Any ideas?

Slide 6.3 has these triggers:
After answering Final Jeopardy on 6.4, the user returns to 6.3. At that point, all the buttons are Hidden. Thus, the variable is changed to True. And, thus, the program jumps back to 6.4. Because there's no "Hide this layer when the user clicks Continue" trigger, whatever layer was showing before still shows. That all happens so fast you probably wouldn't even see the Results layer.
However, the Results won't show because of these triggers on 6.4:
Triggers run in order. However, if a "jump to" trigger takes the user to another slide, subsequent triggers don't run. You have to move the set-variable trigger before the jump-to trigger to change the variable.
And you still need to resolve the conflict between showing the Results layer vs. jumping to 6.4. That could be done with triggers like this:
By the way, thanks for providing such a detailed description of the issue. That made it easier to troubleshoot.
