Hover in layers
Mar 25, 2013
Hi,
I've built a slide with a number of boxes on it, each box has a layer.
I.e, the learner clicks a box, a layer telling them about that box crops up.
This I can do easily!
But the bit thats stumping me, is that from each layer, I want a further three 'boxes' - basically I'm breaking up the information that is provided to the learner.
I've tried to do it so that on a layer, I have three boxes and each of these boxes has a hover over, 'show layer'.
When I preview it, the inital box and link to layer works, but the hover over (show layer function) literally glimpses the screen for a second. Any ideas why?! The timeline for the layers is set to 5 seconds - shouldn't be 'flashing' before my eyes!
Is this not possible?
Thanks
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
It is most likely because your layers are cancelling each other out. You may have to go and check your layer properties and check under Visibility. If the "Hide Other Layers" is checked then that explains why.. since when you hover over the boxes on the layer.. then.. it switches to that layer.. (I hope I explained it well) The point is.. if the option is checked, you can't show multiple layers at the same time.

If that doesnt work, check you do not have anything covering the mouse over area, if you overlay the area you are hovering that will cancel out the layer and cause flickering as well
Donna! You're a superstar!! Thank you - its always something simple...but you only know what you know!
Thank you guys
I open a layer and a box appears but i can not resize it or eliminate it to place a picture how can i access this box to eliminate or resize it?
Hi Ruben! I'd love to get a better idea of what you're seeing. Would you be willing to share a sample of your file with us? You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done taking a look.
