Forcing a Sequence

[expesslane]

I have a situation where I need to have a specific sequence of actions. For example, let's say I have buttons 1, 2, 3. How can I create an Advanced set of actions that indicates Button 1 must be clicked before Button 2, and Button 2 before Button 3, and all actions need to be done to advance the slide?

You could use the same approach that a software simulation takes. You mention that there are three buttons. have a visual of all three buttons on the background of the slide duplicated across three slides. Place a click box on slide one over the image of the first button. Repeat this from slide two and three. This way the user has to click on button one first to progress the slide to slide two and so on.

Thank you, good thought! But, what if the buttons have to open a url or send to link?

Have the 3 buttons on on e slide. Use the On Enter event of that slide to disable the second and third button. That means that the learner will not be able to click on them. Use the Success event of the first button to enable the second button, use the Success event of the second button to enable the third button. You can even disable the already clicked buttons with that same event. Uee the Success event of the third button to release the playhead by using Continue as command.

You didn't tell what those buttons were meant to do, to start with.
