Triggers and Layers
Oct 16, 2012
Hi all, I already went through the tutorial "adding and editing triggers" and I did the exercise and it went all well. My issue with the trigers though is that once i have clicked on the button (in base layer), and I am in the new layer, I cant go back to the base layer; I tried to add a trigger on the each of the layers (layer 1 & 2) to go back to the Base layer, but there wasn't an option to jump to the base layer. I also tried by adding a trigger in each layer (1 & 2) to jump to the slide when the students click on the "previous" button, but as soon as I created it in layer 1 and 2, it didn't stayed there, and instead that trigger moved to the base layer :S
This is basically what I have:
Base layer: button 1 and button 2 (they take you to layer 1 and layer 2) This function works
* if I click to any of the buttons they will take me to the corresponding layer. But once in that layer, I cant go back to the base layer, where my "menu" is, (In the triggers section there is not a possibility to jump to the base layer) So once I am in the layer with the info, if I click Previous, it will take me to the previous slide.
What should I do?
I hope I explained my issue good enough to be understood. I am uploading a copy of my file tho.
The slide I referred to is called: Issues with Buttons and is located in Scene 2 "prototype". I appreciate so much your help.

Hi,
Typically use the "Hide Layer > This Layer > when xxx happens".

You could add a button to the layer and apply a hide layer trigger upon somthing happening (you specify what happens) to the button, or have it automatically trigger at the end of the timeline.
Thanks a lot! I tried adding a button and then trigger "hide layer". Is this the only way of doing this? Thanks again!
