Remove Prev and Next Button from a Layers
Hello
Is there a way to have the next and prev button from the slide navigation control removed from the slide layer?
I have multiple layers on a slide and I have created a close button on each layer which takes the user back to the slide. However the next and prev button still remains. If the user clicks the next button while visiting a layer it takes them to the next slide. However I don’t want the user to click the next button when they are visiting the layer as I want to ensure they visit all the layers before progressing to the next slide.
Put simply I don’t want the user to be able to click the next or prev button when vising layers; I want them to click the close button I have created.
Thanks

Hi Joey
If you want the user to only use the 'Close' button on each layer, you can create x2 triggers on each button within your base layer. One for the next button and one for the previous button.
The trigger is 'Change the state to hidden' for both the next and previous buttons when the user clicks the button to go into the layer.
Then just make your close buttons on each layer 'Jump to slide' so it resets.
Hope this helps :) I thought this was a really simple way of doing it.

I added the comment for the benefit of anyone like me who was searching for an answer on this issue. It seems easier to me to track one variable rather than multiples.
In my particular project, I wanted the Prev/Next buttons to appear on the base layer and then disappear when other layers are displayed.
Hi,
I have the same need to disable or hide the navigation buttons on the slide layers. I have tried all of the various approaches and they work while clicking through the layers. The problem is , once they are back on the base slide the navigation buttons still appear as disabled. If I refresh the slide on the player, the buttons are active again. I have using both reset to initial state and saved state but with the same results. Not sure how to fix this - maybe I just change them to light boxes instead? Some what frustrated at this point...
On the layer, instead of the trigger 'hide layer' you need to 'jump to the slide'. This should reset the main slide when you leave the layer.
Hope this helps...
Regards

Hi Michelle,
Do you have a .story file you could share for us to take a look at your current set up?
You can use the add attachment button below.
Thanks!
The file itself is large - is there a way to extract just the scene?
Michelle,
You could just import the scene into a new file and send that along.
Hi Michelle
I created a sample file as I couldn't download your file - hope this helps
