Forward Navigation Buttons Reaching the End of Slides

I created a forward button --using a shape-- on slide 1.

This is tagged as Display for "rest of project"

The "On success" action is "Go to next slide"

I also have "Place object on top" because I want users to see the Hand Cursor.  For some reason, I don't see the hand cursor on slides 2, 3, 4, etc. unless "place object on top" is checked.

However, on the last slide I'd like to have the forward button generate the  message "You have reached the last slide"

OR

not have the forward button shown.  However, because I have "place object on top" indicated for the forward button on slide one, I can't create a shape on top of the forward button on the final slide to hide that navigation button.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

    To avoid the complexity of a conditional action, you can create an identical shape button on that slide, will label it SB_Next2, and the first button SB_Next1. Create the action for that SB_Next2 to show the hidden text.

    You need to create a standard advanced action, to be triggered On Enter for that last slide. It will look like this:

    • Disable SB_Next1
    • Hide SB_Next1
    • Show SB_Next2
    • Enable SB_Next2

    I add the disable/enable commands to avoid issues in case of HTML output.

    Alternative is a conditional action for that one button, which checks the number of the slide. Only when the number of the slide is equal to the last number will yo show the text, in other cases you have the command Goto Next Slide.
