Show/Hide button based on user variable

I have a variable "videoDone" that is set to 1 when the SWF on my Captivate slide is complete.

My Next button is hidden when the slide is viewed (Next button hidden if videoDone = 0)

How do I make the Next button visible without having the user interact with something on the slide? I want it visible when videoDone=1?

I can make it appear if I add a button to the screen that has an advanced action (if videoDone = 1 show Next_button) but I would like the Next button to simply appear.

You need an event to trigger an action, and Captivate has no time-based events. Cannot it be done with the timeline?

    Thank you for your quick response, I did actually go back and use the timeline.

    I added a second Next Button to show and hide on slide enter, and then placed a Next button further down the timeline so it was accessible once the SWF finished playing and the slide resumed.
