Hidden Button until conditions met

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a tight timeline on a project, so any help is very much appreciated. I have a screen with three buttons that, when clicked, will play audio. I have hidden the next button until all three audios are met. On my original publish of the course, this worked perfectly. The client has given me their edits to be made and now I am previewing and publishing the course only to find that the functionality on this slide no longer works properly. Basically, it now progresses the slide the moment the learner clicks on any one of the buttons; it plays the audio then progresses the slide. I have tried to adjust the action on the slide itself. I have worked on each button: the three content buttons and the 1 continue button. I am not sure of how to fix this.

The edit I made on this slide was to adjust the timing of the buttons to appear AFTER the audio on the slide itself. I appreciate the help.

This tutorial covers different actions but the concept of hiding a button until other things are done are covered in this tutorial. Might help.

This particular video is one of 3 of your videos that I watched consistently when building that one slide. It worked perfectly when I first published the course. That is my conundrum. For some reason, after 1 or 2 changes on the course itself, it no longer seems to work. I test all of my courses a minimum of 4 times before sending to a client. I know it worked.

You kept the pausing point for at least one of the buttons, not the Next button because it is hidden.

Can you show a screenshot of the timelien? Moreover need to know the action triggered when the button is clicked: do you use Play Audio command? Is it a simple command or embedded in a shaed or advanced action since you need to track theuse of the three buttons? Can ou show that action? Yoy probably use variables (Booleans) to track?

Whcih version do you use?

Thanks for such a quick response.

Timeline:

Buttons with audio content:

Whenever I save the file, it seems to add "continue" as one of the lines on my advanced actions. Like this image: I don't believe that is correct for what I need this slide to do.

Finally, the conditional progression advanced action.

Which version? Either CP2017 or CP2019 from the look of the Advanced actions dialog box.

First of all: none of the buttons in the Timeline has a pausing point, please put them back, they may all be at the same default location which is 1.5seconds. I suppose the Next button is hidden by the On Enter event.

The variables associated with the buttons have almost the same name, but you took out the underscores, so that makes the name different, which is OK.

If you want this to be functional you need to embed the conditional action in the button actions, not triggered by another event. Use the actions which have now as first decisions, and the conditional action as second decision. I have similar setup in this blog post:

You are using the first workflow, it could have been done with the mulitstate object as well, since you can connect audio to any state.
