Hi, Bernita,

I got it working in the attached file. Here's what I did:

  • I added a trigger to adjust the variable to True when all the buttons reach the Visited state.
  • I edited the trigger for enabling Next. It now just looks for the variable to be True when the timeline starts.
  • I deleted the Disabled states from the buttons on the base. The slide forces the user to click all 6 buttons. There's no reason to force them to click them in a given order. (They'll probably do that on their own anyway.) Plus, if someone decided to review info, clicking a previously-viewed button could reset the subsequent button back to Normal, so that button wouldn't be counted as Visited. 
  • I added checkmarks to all the Visited states. This helps the user (and the person testing the course!) to see which buttons have been clicked. You can certainly edit the Visited states, but there should be some way to differentiate between Normal and Visited.

By the way, I noticed you have a whole lotta  "Hide this layer" triggers. Those can be deleted. The default setting is that a "Show a Layer" trigger automatically hides the current layer. You'd have to adjust the Layer Properties to show multiple layers at the same time:
