Variables Do Not Interact Between Different Slides

Thank you so much. I had to tweak your recommendation a bit unless it was what you intended for me to do. I changed the trigger to the Main Menu page to "when the timeline starts". That did not work. So I changed the trigger on the slide for the completed lesson as well. I changed the CompleteLesson variable to true when the timeline starts as well. It did not work if I left as when user clicks Next.

I am going to post another question but maybe you can help here or look out for it. I want information (slide layer) to show or hide in a slide when the user continuously clicks a button the slide (an open/close effect). I was able to create triggers to only once "open and close" the layer. Once I closed the layer after opening, I could not open again.

My work:

• Created a trigger: Show Layer X, when the user clicks ButtonX, If the state of ButtonX = Normal, and the state of ButtonX = Selected. (I also attempted this with both states as selected)
• Created a trigger: Hide Layer X, When the user clicks ButtonX, If the state of ButtonX = Visited.

I attempted several states for the button but the only result I get is being able to show and hide the layer. I am unable to have it show again.  

Thanks
