I have several bullets in a text box animated to fade-in in a sequence on the timeline. Is there any way to pre-empt the timeline and have the next bullet fade-in in response to a keypress? (Allowing the student to speed up the pace)
I'm pretty sure you can't use a trigger to jump to a specific point on the timeline so to do this you would need to put each point on a different layer then show the next layer at the end of the timeline of the previous layer. You could also have a trigger that showed the next layer on keypress so they could fast track if they wanted to. I've attached an example.
if you put the bullet points into separate text boxes you would be able to trigger on cue point or key press by using two triggers - depends how much trouble you want to go to.
