Trigger to jump to slide in menu only works once
Feb 24, 2016

Before I pull all my hair out...
I have several menus with triggers on the text box to jump to a slide in the course. For SOME ITEMS only, it works the first time you click, but if you return to the menu it doesn't. For some it's fine.
Example (extract) attached.
In "Decollage", item "Les 10 commandements..." works fine, you can click many times on it and it brings you to the correct slide. Item "Faisons le point 1/3" works only once.
I thought they were overlapping maybe, so I moved them, but to no avail.
Any light out there?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Helene!
Thanks for sharing your file. Can you point me to which slide/object you are referring to so that I can take a look and try to replicate what you are describing?
Thank you Leslie. I have written the names of the elements to look at in my post: In "Decollage", item "Les 10 commandements..." works fine, you can click many times on it and it brings you to the correct slide. Item "Faisons le point 1/3" works only once.
Helene,
I have a scroll mouse, and I clicked on the storyview pane, held down the CTRL key and moved the scroll wheel. This increases or decreased the zoom.
I can click on 10 commandments, or point 1/3 multiple times and go the slide. See attached video #1.
Maybe it will help to expand the Scene. See Video #2, where I right clicked to bring up the context menu.
Hi Walt
I'm very sorry I didn't make myself clear enough. I am talking about the published file...
I really appreciate your time!
I could not find a link for either of those slides in the story. Where are they and/or what do they say?
If you click Decollage, everything on the left, underlined, in the menu, is a link to a slide, 10 commandments, Faisons le point 1/3, 2/3, etc.
Example:
Sorry, I didn't read very well.
Here's what I found: If I set Slide le point 3 to reset to initial state when visited, it works.
I think that when you click on decollage, it doesn't go to another slide, it only brings up a layer on that slide. When you click on le point 3, it automatically decides to show the layer that is visible (decollage), and you can't tell that you have actually gone to le point 3. My theory is that that doesn't happen on les 10 commandments because it does not have layers of its own, so you see the base slide. Le point 3 has layers of its own, so the automatic decision opts to show a layer, and picks the last one shown (decollage).
Thank you, I will check that now. I thought it could be something like that but the way it works was the same for all the screens.
My biggest confusion is why 10 commandments works, and the only difference I can see is the layers.
I am investigating now, will let you know of the outcome (I never had a similar problem before and I worked with at least 50 files).
It works! But is is a problem for some slides where I want to save their answers and not reset them... Need to brainstorm on that.
Thank you very much for your help. Let me know how I can reciprocate one day! Tag me in your question (if we can do this!).
Glad to help. Just pass it on when you can.
As walt mentioned about the layer issue. This is what I did:
Add a trigger saying "Hide Layer .. this layer .. when user clicks" to each link in the menu.
Your menu is working fine.
Thank you Yusuf! I did that and, indeed, it works!
