Thank you both VERY much for the files and assistance! I reviewed both of yours, thought I understand the concept, and then tried to build on my own without peeking. Took a while, but I built it! And I learned a very important lesson - the order of triggers actually matter - who knew?
Thanks again!
Feel much more comfortable with the numerical variables now.
Yep, triggers are processed sequentially. Start at the top, then drop down through them in order. Imagine having two triggers on an object. One increments a variable and the other jumps to a new slide. If the jump-to-new-slide-trigger preceeds the increment-the-variable-trigger, the jump would always occur first, preventing the variable from ever being incremented.

I used a couple extra variables that were't really needed to make the logic a bit easier to follow.

Here is another example.

Yep, thanks! Brought me back to the "order of operations" lesson in middle school math class
