    A Very Good Morning Michael,

    And I thank you for your welcome reply and guidance.
    Eureka—it worked for me! I went to my first layer using an object shape. With a numbered variable, I set a value on the layer by adjusting the variable to 1 [for my first layer] when the timeline reached 0.25 secs thereafter the Next [or Prev] button worked with the If abc variable = 1 and so on.
    I was perplexed in trying too hard, I had previously tried a text variable, thank you so much for taking the time out to offer the tip.

    Not easy, working from home, in a basement in Killin Scotland! 😊
    Very best

    John
