How do I close a multi state object?

[billyl71444288]

I am in the process of building a fixed layout epub in which I would like to feature full page pop out galleries. I can put the gallery together using MSO and i have worked out the nav using the buttons. I have the hide until triggered worked out on the MSO too but I cannot find a way of closing it down once all of the images have been viewed. Anyone have the answer to this? I cant be the first person to have had this issue but I cannot find the answer anywhere.

I wrote this for DPS but it works the same for EPUB: http://boblevine.us/digital-publishing-suite-101-how-to-hide-a-slideshow/

Thanks Bob, I had seen this actually and it really helped with getting me this far. The problem is that when the slide show gets to the state that has nothing in it my nav buttons are left hanging?

Are you referring to prev/next buttons? If so, put them in each state of the MSO along with a close button that goes to the first empty state.

How do I add buttons to individual states? Is this possible in indesign cc 2017?

You can add anything to an MSO.
