I've designed a slide with three sub-headings linked to three different layers so that the slide is sequentially built up through learner activation. That means that each of the three layers remains visible once activated (the default "Hide other slide layers" in layer properties has been unchecked for all three layers). However, when I preview the slide only one layer can be activated, the other two do not superimpose onto the base slide. This is the case no matter which sub-heading I activate, the other two remain inactive. Is this a bug or have I forgotten something?
Thanks for your response. A colleague and I have been working on the slide ever since and haven’t been able to rectify the problem. Here’s a screenshot anyway, you may see something we‘ve missed:
Nothing attached - if you added an attachment via email it won't display here in the forum. If you can share the .story file that would help us to help you figure out what's happening. Just use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post to upload.
Unfortunately, company policy doesn't allow any uploading, not even screenshots. So I'll trudge along with my detective work and post any results if successful.
You may have a trigger or more telling a layer/layers to hide/show when they shouldn't. Something like that could be interfering with the default functionality on the slide layers, because you pointed out in your original post you had already unchecked the "Hide other slide layers" option. Also, if you're using SL2, make sure you have the latest version.

Hi Rose,
You should be able to view multiple slide layers at any time if things are setup right.
Can you share your interaction so we can have a look at what's going on?
Double click each layer to get this panel.
Make sure this isn't checked... "HIde other slide Layers"
Hi Rose
here is a sample that builds up as each layer is clicked - hope this helps.

Thanks, Wendy. There seems to be something interfering with that function as it doesn’t seem to work on my slide.
Best regards,

Thanks, Richard. Tried that without any luck.

Good luck!
Is there an object on the layer that intercepts the click on the heading to activate another slide?
