Are you able to provide a copy of your .story file here so we can see how you've set it up? Did you want the next or previous buttons to also navigate to other slides, or just hide layers?
You should be able to do it with the "Hide Layer when user clicks the NEXT button" trigger. Make sure that trigger is above the trigger that navigates to the next slide or else the trigger wont fire.
On thing to consider -- if your users are also going to move to the next slide when the NEXT button is clicked, then they may not see the layer has been hidden. In Jackson's example above, the layer would be hidden really, really quickly -- like in the blink of an eye -- and then, in the next eye-blink the users would magically be on the next slide. In other words, there wouldn't be a discernible pause between hiding and going to the next slide.
Thank you both for your quick replies. Jackson, I did have my hide layer trigger AFTER the trigger that navigates to the next slide. And thank you Sharon, I will continue to play around with it until it works how I want.
Glad that you are getting the assistance that you need here Nichole! I just wanted to pop in to be sure you are aware that replying to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature, but you are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
