Showing Next button after embedded SWF file is complete

I have a SWF file (AS3) that I am embedding in Captivate 7. 

I have the commands in the SWF file that pause Captivate until the SWF is done playing and then it will resume the Captivate slide upon completion of the embedded SWF. 

I would like to be able to trigger the "Next" button on the slide so that it appears after the SWF is complete.  I have included a variable "videoDone" on the slide and the SWF successfully sets the variable to "1" when it is complete.

So far so good, where I am having an issue is making the next button appear. 

Is there a way for me to tell Captivate to show the Next button from the embedded SWF? Or is there a way I can add a listener to the Captivate slide so that when the variable "videoDone =1" it will show the Next button?

I was able to resolve the issue by having 2 Next buttons

#1 Set to show/hide on slide Enter based on the user variable "videoDone"
#2 Placed further down the timeline and would appear after the SWF completed playing.
