Click boxes are clickable behind objects

[PKPrice]

Is there any way to prevent click boxes from being clickable behind other objects?

I have 9 click boxes that reveal content on a single "main" slide. The content appears with a back button that the user clicks to hide and return to the main view. While content is open, I can click the screen and open content from one of the other click boxes behind.

I solved this for the content by hiding the boxes when the user clicks one, and showing them again when the user clicks back. However, I also have two conditional congratulatory messages that appear when the user clicks the back button if they have viewed certain content. The trouble is the back button is saying to show the click boxes when the congratulations appears. I haven't figured out how to keep the click boxes hidden while these congratulations messages are showing. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

No, an interactive object under another object will remain active. You have to hide a click box (or disable a button) to prevent clicking.

I should see your advanced actions to offer some tips. Your explanation is not totally clear to me,

This is my first time dealing with advanced actions, so I wouldn't be surprised if I messed up.

I apologize; it's a bit complicated.

Opens Content

Hides Content (IF)

Hides Content (Else)

Which version are you using? Could I have access to your file, because with those screenshots I cannot understand everything, should have to ask so many questions.

I see already some illogical things: if you have to do the same actions whether the condition results in True or False, you'd better keep those actions in a mimicked standard action. If you are using CP6, you should use grouping to avoid having so many Hide/Show actions and have greater risk at forgetting some. A

I see the condition checks three variables, but how do they get their value? And are the decisions in the conditional action mutually exclusive? Maybe I could help you, have a lot of experience with advanced actions (look at my blog).  But trying to figure it our in a thread without access to the file will be difficult. If you can post it somewhere and send me the link by private message?

Hi There,

Welcome to Adobe Forums.

In order to achieve the solution of your question, you need to use the advance action:

1) On every click box apply the standard advance action that on every click it should show the content and disable the other click boxes.

2) On every back button (which you have added on the content) apply the standard advance action that on click it should hide the content and enable all the other click boxes.

Please let me know if that helps.

Thanks
