Issue with variables and triggers

I have had a look through the current list of variable and trigger oriented posts and can't quite find a similar issue or resolution to my problem. I have a few slides with several buttons which then...

Thank you for your reply. The attached sample did contain several attempts at getting the triggers to work, with a few that I should have deleted. My main issue is on the 1st slide with the 7 'tip' buttons (which appear once the Topic buttons have been clicked)  not showing the 'Additional Information' button once they have all been clicked. I have variables 'Ob_tip_1', Ob_tip_2', etc. which all activate and change to true, but I can't get the 'Additional Information' button to change to Normal state once the 7 variables have changed.

My goal is to have the user click the topics which reveals information via the layers and contains the 'Tip' buttons, and once all tips have been shown, show the 'Additional Information' button. Then they can go to that layer, select the 2 buttons there which then shows the next button. The user should then still be able to go back to the other layers and have the 2 bottom buttons show.

The way to show the "Additional Information" button after all the Tip variables are True is demonstrated in the file I attached to my earlier reply, which also gives an overview of what I did.

    Thank you Judy. This is exactly what I was looking for! The 'Programming Layer' works perfectly.

      A programming layer can be quite useful, especially when a complicated trigger or multiple triggers need to run when any button in a set of tabs is clicked. 

      Instead of repeating (and possibly needing to edit) the trigger(s) on each button, just have the buttons show the layer with trigger(s).

      As shown in the file I attached in the previous reply, remember to take these steps on the programming layer:

      • As needed, adjust the Slide Layer Properties so the programming layer doesn't hide other layers.
      • Shorten the timeline, and add a trigger that hides the layer when the timeline ends.
