Hi there, I'm Tracie. Steph was helping me out with this while I worked on something else. I'll jump in and answer the rest of your questions. First, the click boxes do not overlap at all, they are placed on top of images on the stage. The click box on the top of the timeline is for the green arrow 'next' button at the bottom of the stage.
First, The individual buttons do not have pauses built in. Second, the translucent smart shapes and check box images are in an advanced action linked to at button at the end of the group of slides for each section. (In this example, the button to start a section is on slide 3, the end of section button is on slide 12 and it includes the advanced actions to display the checkbox and smart shape, because i don't want those to show up until our learners have actually completed a section/quiz.)
I'm getting a server error when I try to upload screenshots; not sure why. So I'll do my best to give you the code snippets here: My conditional action for the end of section button that makes the grey out/checkbox appear is this: If 1 is equal to 1; then assign varEndOfSectionButton with 1; jump to "Home"; show checkmark; show grey out The conditional action works fine; once the section is done and users jump back to the home screen, the appropriate icon is greyed out and the green check appears. The code for each button to start the course sections is this (these are the actions that aren't working): If 1 is equal to 1; and varButton2 is greater than or equal to zero or varButton3 is greater than or equal to 0, then assign with 1 and jump to slide to begin section. I hope this helps you answer our question. Tracie
