Next Button not appearing
Hi Hero's - hopefully someone can assist me. I seem to experiencing a bug on the functionality of a "Next" button state. The way I've set up my training is one Scene offers the learner to select a button based on their role in the company, this then takes them to a new slide the outlines the type of training. I've set the state of the "next" button to be hidden when the created two buttons to choose from the timeline starts, and to be normal when the learner has visited both buttons. Initially this works well, however if I click previous on the slide and view the previous scene and go back into the slide it will not show the "next" button and the course can not continue even though the two buttons are in a state of being visited. Does anyone know what I can do to correct this?

Could you share your updated file Doug?
Sure, this is the test file, I removed the light boxes. It still won't show the NEXT button unless I go to previous slide and come back in
Doug,
I don't know how I posted before I added these two triggers. They are the ones that make it appear as soon as the Internal and External buttons are clicked. must have happened during my siesta time. Sorry.
Hi Doug!
In your file, you had the next button changing to normal when the timeline started if External/Internal were true, but you are not re-starting the timeline. That's why you are only seeing it if you go to the previous slide and return.
You need the next button to change while you are on the slide as Walt is sharing. Your file is attached.
Hi Leslie, thank you!
This almost works for what I was looking to achieve. The reason I added when the timeline starts was because I was hoping that when re-visiting the Plant Training slides the NEXT button would still be showing as the two internal/External buttons have already been visited. Currently as it is, even though they show visited when you re-enter the slide from the previous Role Selection slide you still need to click on one of them to have the NEXT button show again even though they are greyed out as visited. Ideally, what we would like to see, is when returning from the previous slide the NEXT button to already be in the normal state as the external and internal buttons are in a visited state.
One other thing I've noticed is when selecting "Plant Admin" on the 2.1 slide, it turns it grey indicating it was visited, once in 1.1 if you hit previous, then select a different role in 2.1 , then hit previous again "Plant Admin" will sometimes be greyed out and sometimes return to green. Not sure if this is a known issue or a logic thing.
Hi Doug
I've updated your file with a number variable called hub_visits. I have then addd this variable into a trigger on the slide 1.3. (put a purple shape on it just for testing). I think it is doing what you want. If both external and internal buttons are grey and you go forward and then return to this slide, the next button is 'normal'.
Thanks Wendy! You are my Hero.....This seems to have resolved the problem - one little thing that still persists is if you select a role like Operations Manager for example, then click on both Internal/External buttons then select PREV then select Operations Manager again and then select PREV again the state returns to normal....a small issue and likely no one would ever do that but just wanted to share that little bug.
Hi Doug
'the state returns to normal' ? are you talking about the Next button or the Operations Manager button?
Hi Doug - sometimes it takes a village :) Thanks Wendy!
Just pop back in if you need anything further.
Hi Wendy, it's with the Ops Mgr button
Hi Doug
not a bug - you don't have a 'completed' state on your button only Normal, Hover and Selected, so it is reverting to Normal which is what I would expect it to do on the prev, prev visit.
Hi Wendy, sorry I'm not seeing where a "Completed" button state is an option. There is Normal, Hover, Selected, Visited, Down, Disabled, Drag over, Drop Correct, Drop Incorrect.
Hi Doug
'completed' is a custom state that I would add in - you could use the inbuilt Visited state but that doesn't always behave as you would like.
Happy to do a sample on Ops Mgr if you like - let me know.
That would be awesome if you wouldn't mind
Hi Doug
here you go. I have created a custom state called 'completed' and added to the Ops Mgr button only (yes purple is my favourite colour- lol). I have also added a trigger to change the state to completed when timeline starts on the menu slide on condition that hub_visits is > 1.
Hope this helps
Hi Wendy, I don't see the attachment. Should it be showing up here?
Sorry having trouble uploading - just going to resave into a new project file to try and reduce the size.
Here you go
Thanks for all your assistance Wendy, it much appreciated - Have a great weekend!!!
Glad to help Doug - good luck with your project and you have a good weekend too!
