hiding layer when user clicks on object on the layer

Right click on layers apparently does not function. This thread: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/sl2-right-click-trigger-fails?page=4 seems to indicate that at one point the problem was fixed, but as of three months ago is still not working (or not working again). I would encourage you to submit a problem to support.

If you change the triggers on the layers to click, they will work.

I did get them to work. Thank you.

I have a subsequent question. When I preview the slide the hand cursor
appears over two of the objects but if I don't take my mouse over to the
objects using a particular order, the hand cursor does not appear over them
to signal the user to click. In other words if the user goes to click on
object 5 first, the hand cursor does not appear. If the user goes to object
2 first the hand cursor appears. But if the user goes to objects 3, 4 and 5
first - the hand doesn't appear.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks again for your prompt help.

Mary,

These triggers were part of the problem:

Each layer had a trigger to load another layer, and they went on and on, in a circle, until it got to the small coffee cup, which was set to hide the other layers, and it all started again.

I deleted those triggers, and set small coffee cup so it didn't hide other layers.

Then, the small pile of files was set to prevent clicking on the base layer. I don't know why, but when I deselected that, it all worked.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, Walt. I’ve managed, with your guidance to get the job done. The reason I created those cascading triggers was the result of reading a discussion thread about the issue. I had been having difficulty after inserting triggers, to get all the layers to appear when the timeline started. Cascading the triggers seemed to help that issue but then the subsequent problem arose. Go figure computer, huh?

Anyway...all is well today.

Thank,

Mary
