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 ...
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.
Hi Serena, take a look at the attached file, I have it working on triggers and layers... is this what you was trying to do? You willnotice I still have the next button in the player, but that is set to hidden when the timeline starts, this could be why your triggers didnt work? :0/
Thanks for taking the time to look into this :) I have a physical button on the slide that says 'next' rather than the standard navigation. Maybe that's creating the issue because it's the only thing that is not the same as your setup. Visually I would want the button on the screen rather than using standard nav if possible.
