Click button 3 times to show another button

Hi Guys,

Pretty simple really, I've been using Captivate for years I can do some pretty advanced stuff. But this is really starting to annoy me and I have followed every forum on here relating to this and nothing has produced successful results.

It really is that simple. I have one button, I want to click that button 3 times to show another button. That's it. Strangely, if I have for example multiple buttons I want to click to show another button, I can do that no problem. But for some reason just wanting one button to do the same thing is seemingly undoable.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Create a user variable v_counter with a default value of 0. You coudl also use the On Enter action of the slide to set its value to 0, which would be necessaery if you want the slide to be revisited. Hide the second button, Bt_2 in output. in the Properties panel or with the On Enter action.

    Create an advanced action for the first button. Since I don't know which version you are using, I will not post a screenshot. But you'll need two decisions: the first one has to happen always and is a standard action

    Increment v_counter by 1

    The second decision is conditiional and cehcks the value of the variable:

      IF v_counter is eqqual or greater than 3

          Show Bt_

    You are a diamond. The only thing I changed was v_counter is equal to 3 and not equal or greater than because that was working after 4 clicks instead of 3. However works like a beaut you have saved me from any further headache.

    It should have worked with equal or greater as wel.... believe me! Pretty simple advanced action, but I have created so many and blogged so much about them.
