Navigation Issue Captivate 8

I'm fairly certain that you just need a Conditional Advanced Action On Slide Enter:

If cpInfoLastVistedSlide is equal to "the slide number you jump to - 1"

enable button

else

disable button.

Otherwise there isn't a way to disable the button in the first place.

Is this your question: when the user is visiting the slide the first time, the shape button is visible but not active as button. Only the click box can be clicked. That click box will take the user to another slide. When visiting the slide again, the shape button has to be enabled. What is missing as information:

1. Are click box and shape button perhaps in the same location? That is very important because you cannot have two interactive object in the same location at the same time
2. What has to happen with the click box when leaving the slide?
3. Where are the pausing points of both the shape button (if it has one) and the click box if they remain active together (only possible when not in same location)?

If the click box and shape button are not in the same location, there is no need for a variable at all, just create a standard advanced action to be triggered by the click box with two statements:

• Enable shape button
• Jump to slide X

Since you say "disable", I am assuming you are using a smartshape button.

1.  On the click box, assign value, say 1, to a variable.

2.  On Enter of the original slide, set a conditional advanced action to check value of variable. If it is 1, enable the smartshape, else disable.
