I'm working in Storyline 2. In slide master view, I'm trying to add a button which triggers showing a layer. I have created the button and layer in slide master view. But when I go to the slide, the button doesn't trigger the layer and the layer is not present. I do get a finger over the button but no action.
I don't know if Michael is still subscribed to this thread to update the link, but could you share what you've set up so far? Either the .story file or a description of how you've set up the triggers and elements?
I am having the same issue. I created six rectangle boxes in the slide (I used master slide to make all slides have the same background) and added six corresponding layers. I set up the trigger on each rectangle box so that the corresponding layer would show up when user clicks on those rectangles. However, it didn't work when using master slides. Any suggestions?
Ok, I figured the triggers don't work consistently under master slide view. I was able to trigger the layer by clicking on the text box in one slide, but couldn't get the trigger work on another slide. Is it normal or just the one time incident?
For some reason one of the arrows must have been covering up the button. I'm not sure why it didn't accept the trigger since the arrows don't cover the whole button, but once i moved the "Online Learning" button to the top of the timeline the trigger worked.
This usually happens to me when an object on my slide is covering the object with the trigger on it, so moving it to the top of the timeline made sure the button was on top of the arrows rather than the other way around.
But objects with triggers can be covered up a little bit and still work, so usually this isn't a problem...
For some reason those arrows must have some invisible bulk to them that blocks more of the screen then we can see or something like that.

That seems odd. Are you sure you attached the Show Layer trigger to the button? See here a quick example that works for me.
I am having this issue too, this link is not working. Can you help out?
Hi Regina,

I have not experienced this problem yet, could your provide your .story file with the problem in it?
Please see the attachment.
In the first slide, when click on Online Learning box, online learning layer is supposed to present but it doesn't.
However, it works in the second slide, when click on Accessibility box, the layer Accessibility (s) presents.
I set them up in the exactly same way, I have no idea what's going on here.
P.S. I am very new with storyline.
Thanks very much for the help.

I hope this helps!
Thanks for your help Jackson!
It also worked for me once I moved Online Learning at the top of timeline. Is there any reason why it happens like this?
