Next/Prev buttons not working properly
I have a slide with a list of links the learner has to listen to. When they click a link, the associated layer shows with the audio file and when the audio file completes it automatically goes back ...
The simplest fix is to change the layers to Dialog layers (Storyline 360: Dialog Layers - Articulate Support). A Dialog layer automatically prevents the user from interacting with the base and the Player. Thus, even though the PREV and NEXT button are enabled when the text boxes are Visited, the user won't be able to click them until the layer closes when the video is done. This is demonstrated in the attached file.
I also added a T/F variable to track whether the user is done with the slide. It starts as False. A trigger changes it to True when the text boxes are Visited. That variable is in the condition added to the triggers that hide the PREV and NEXT buttons. They'll only fire when the variable = False. This prevents those buttons from hiding again if the user returns the slide.
