Hotspot in one scene jump to a layer in another scene?

Jul 06, 2021

Hi there - Is it possible to insert a hotspot on a slide in one scene that jumps to a specific layer on a slide that is part of a separate scene in the same project?

What if, in addition to jumping to a specific slide based on the learner clicking on the hotspot, you first set a variable (e.g., myLayer = 1).

Set myLayer to value 1
When the user clicks btnJumpToLayer

Jump to slide 6.2 View My Notes
When the user clicks btnJumpToLayer

Then, on the target slide where that layer lives, when the timeline starts, check the value of the variable. If it's "1," show the layer.

Show layer MySpecialLayer
When the timeline starts on this slide
if myLayer = value 1

Be sure to reset myLayer before exiting, otherwise the NEXT time you jump to that slide, you'll land on the layer again.
