Advancing "layers" automatically?
Mar 22, 2014

I understand how to place various things on
a timed-slide and make them appear (automatically)
at different times on a single slide.
But when I add additional "layers" to the
same slide, it seems that I can't create them as
"timed-layers"...that appear one after the other.
In fact, when I add an additional layer to my
slide, it doesn't even appear on the same
timeline as my base layer.
It creates a whole new timeline for the new layer?
Soooo, does anyone know how to create
sequential timed "layers" that start automatically
once they appear?
Thanks for the help!

I think you can do this by adding a trigger to each layer to show the next layer when the timeline ends.
Hi Rand.
+ 1 for Nancy's answer - see attached.
Hope that helps.
Hey...that worked!
You guys are the best.
I can hardly wait to post my other 750 questions!
And oh...one more thing. I'm a newbie to this
forum, so can I ask the purpose of the
green "Verify Answer" button.
Does one click-it when an answer given and
applied...works? Or do you always click-it to
show that you "read" someone's answer?
Just wondering.
You can click it when an answer given works. It is funny most people in the forum don't bother using the button.
Glad that worked out...
I'll bet that most people don't "click-it"...
because (like me) they aren't clear as
to what it means.
"Verify Answer"
is a bit muddled...
and probably should be changed.
````
Perhaps if they used something like...
"Problem Solved"
or
"This Answer Worked"...
people would naturally click it.
```
Just a thought.
Thanks Rand for the feedback on the "verified answer" post and staff tries to do it when we're sure that the answer worked, but it's also something our team has talked about not including in a future version of the Heroes forum.
I am looking to go back and forth from base layer to other layers, as in base to layer, layer to base, base to layer, and so forth, any tutorials or advice?
Hi Crystal,
I'd do it like this:

Thanks Simon! Much appreciated! Do you know if you can insert a zoom region on a layer? I am working in SL2.
I don't recall (I haven't used zoom regions in a long time), but I would expect so.
Hi Crystal,
Glad that Simon was able to help you out here. Zoom Regions are not a feature on slide layers, but we have had a lot of feature requests for this in our newer products.
