Advanced Actions to only Show a button once others have been clicked

[abeardsl23]

Hello, all.  I'm having some difficulty with the execution of an advanced action.  In a nutshell, I have 7 buttons on a slide.  A user must click all 7 in order for the Next button to appear.  Here's where I'm at:

I have variables named Com_Clicked; Mon_Clicked; Edu_Clicked; etc. to coincide with the named buttons

Once clicked, I have two things happen for each, via executing an advanced action:  assign 1 to the variable, and change the state of another shape to display content associated to that button.

This works perfectly!

Here's where I'm stuck...I CAN NOT get the next button to appear after all buttons are clicked. See image below.  My next button IS NOT VISIBLE on Output.

Where am I going wrong?

You have to combine your present standard action with the conditional action in one conditional action with two decisions:

First decision' Always' will mimick your standard action

   IF 1 is equal to 1

     Change state of....
      Assign v_Com with 1             sorry, that is my way of labeling variables, starting with v_
    

Second decision 'ShowNext'

IF v_Com is equal to 1  AND

      v_....

     Show Bt_Next

     Enable Bt_Next

Shared actions are not possible in this case, you need to duplicate the advanced action, but will have only to edit the first decision in each duplicate. This solution has been posted so many times on this forum, why is Search not better working. Have several examples on my blog as well.

Thank you so much!  I will have to try this over the weekend!  You guys are lifesavers!

Here's a video that shows how to do something similar for a Dynamic Menu slide:

Here is my take on your question as well. It's very similar solution to the others but slightly different.

Thank you so much, Paul, for being so kind to share your knowledge with me. That video was PERFECT!

My approach was to build a Advanced Action for each target slide:

This assigns the current slide variable with 1 as visited, then summarizes each of the variables to populate a total value.

For testing, these variables are displayed on each slide. This gives immediate feedback during preview and publish.

The status slide, has a FirstPlay calc to play a sound, other conditional calculations that hide/reveal 'star' icons to indicate status. (In Cp9 this would likely be handled via states. This course is still being developed under Cp8.)

And finally, a calculation that determines if all slides are viewed, and displays a hidden 'Completed' button to jump out of the loop.
