Help with layers staying on screen
Oct 25, 2022
Hi everyone!
Could someone help me with something, please? I want for the user to be able to click a hotspot or button on the base layer on a table and for a layer to come up but it stay up while they click the next layers so that the entire table populates after they have clicked each hotspot.
OR--have the text inside shapes and they start out hidden and then when the user clicks the hotspot/button they turn to normal/visible. But again they all stay up, populating the table.
I've tried both ways and can't seem to make it work. Story attached.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kathleen Murphy, I've recreated your SL file with the same content and everything is working as expected. Please see the attached SL file for your reference and let me know if you need any further updates.
Here is the second version of the SL file where initially the text will be in hidden state and upon clicking on the corresponding hotspot user will be able to view the text.
Thank you so much @Sandeep! Can you tell me what you did so that I can recreate it? I can't see anything different.
Thanks again!
on the layer properties make sure all the layers are set to not hide other layers
I did that but it still didn't work for me. I wasn't able to have them select the base layer after that.
You have the table replicated on each layer you would need to remove that and all the additional hotspots
Okay, thanks!
Hello Kathleen Murphy, for the first SL file (table_updated), I simply removed the duplicate table & hotspots from the layers and placed only the text that needs to be visible for the user upon clicking on the corresponding hotspots.
On the second SL file (table_updated_1), I placed the text boxes from the layers onto the base layer and updated the state initial state of each text box to hidden. So once user clicks on the hotspot, the corresponding text will be visible.
