The preview of the selected slide and the whole scene or project varies!
Hey peeps,
when I preview just a single slide the things I have built work perfectly well. But when I preview the whole project or the scene some things don't work like before.
I noticed that especially when I use variables.
Example from right now: I have my custom created "next" button and it has the states: deactivated and normal. In the beginning it's deactivated and when the user has clikced the certain items, the variables change for the certain iteam to "right". When all the variables are in the state "right" the "next" button is supposed to change to "normal" state.
In the preview for the slide it works! BUT IN THE WHOLE SCENE PREVIEW NOT!! Even though I built it the same way on other slides ...
Please help :(

It sounds like you're using the same variable to control different slides. Sure, it works when you preview one slide, because that's the only slide using the variable's value. But when you adjust the value of a variable, it retains that value as you go through the course—until another trigger readjusts it.
So, for example: assume you have a text variable that starts blank. On a slide, you change its value to "right." The value will still be "right" when you advance to the next slide.
Thus, since you need to control separate interactions, the fix is to use separate variables.
