Applying exit transition to the hide layer trigger

Aug 30, 2013

Hi is it possible to apply an exit transition (animation) to the hide layer trigger?

I want a custom navigation menu that is accessed by a button on the slide master. I can get it to slide up when the user clicks menu button, but I want it to slide down again when the user clicks the chapter name before jumping to the chapter.  I tried adding a trigger to show another layer with the chapter selected which then slides down, but would need to create one of these for every chapter, and just realised I'd then need to copy each layer to every screen individually and life is too short! Is there an easier way to make my menu slide back down before jumping? Thanks in advance.

I did it with several layers

on the base layer if the user clicks MENU, the Menu layer displays.

The menu layer animates in the list of chapters (Fly in from bottom)

When the suer slects a chapter, it opens the relvant chapter layer.

The cahpter layer has the fly out animation for the list of chapters.  Once the timeline ends for this layer, antoher triggers jumps the user to the correct chapter.

So there are several layers

The Main Layer

The Menu Layer that ainimates in

And one layer for each chapter that animates out and moves to the correct chapter.

Easier to see than describe.  See attached.
