Triggers not working - please help
Can anyone see why my triggers don't work? I have created 3 rectangles (1. Strategy, 2. Finance, 3. Budgets) that can be clicked in any order. When each are clicked, the user will be directed to the corresponding layer (1. Layer Strategy, 2. Layer Finance, 3. Layer Budgets). When the video ends on each layer, it returns to the base layer. Once the user has visited all 3 layers, the next button should turn from 'disabled' to 'normal'. All default states of the rectangles are set to 'normal', with a 'visited' state also built into the states section. The button is 'disabled' as default, with a 'normal' state also available in the states section.
Serena,
Your file has a trigger that changes the Budgets button to Normal when it is clicked. That's preventing it from being Visited.
FYI: You don't need triggers to change a button to Visited, because that's a built-in state. Any object with a Normal state and a Visited state will automatically change to Visited when it is clicked. See it work in the attached file, which has all of the change-state-to-Visited triggers deleted.

- FYI: I also added conditions to the button that disabled Next, so it won't happen if the user revisits the slide after visiting all of the buttons.
Also, you could use fewer objects to simply your buttons. For example, fill a rectangle with a picture of a folder. Enter the name directly in the rectangle. You can even add a checkmark in the Visited state, so there's a visual indicator that the button has been clicked. There's an example of this on the second slide in the attached file.
