Hi
I watched a great job that Jackie Van Nice did on the "Interactive Graphics E-Learning challenge" (#103). http://jackievannice.com/challenge_103/story.html
I'm trying to understand how she used the exit animation:
When the user clicks on the layer of the hand & the mobile device, both fly out and the base layer appears.
How is this done? I inserted a hotspot covering the layer and a trigger that hides the layer when clicking on the hotspot -what I can't understand is how she activated the exit animation (trigger?) when the user clicks (on what?) and had it gone before the base layer appears.
Can someone explain the actions needed and the order of them?
Thanks!
Shevi

Hi Shevi!
As soon as I get back to my desk, I'll let you know!
And thanks for asking. :)
Jackie
Thanks for asking Shevi... I've been hoping to learn more about this one, too:-)
OK, Shevi!
Here we go...(I think I need to make this a blog post, since it elicits a lot of the same questions you have!)...
The user's only option to exit the layer is to click - somewhere! - so they can't go wrong when clicking anywhere they'd like, which takes them back to the main screen. I didn't want to clutter it up with a target object or any instructions - and it's intuitive enough that everyone figures it out.
The triggers for this overlay shape are:
See? Piece of cake. :) Thanks again for asking, Shevi - and thanks for giving me the heads-up about Shevi's question, David!
Thanks Jackie! With such a great explanation it is a piece of cake:)
Motion path was the thing I needed- I tried using an exit flying out animation, and there was no trigger for hiding a layer when the flying out is completed.
Thanks David for your help too.
One more question
I want to insert a movie on one of the layers.
It should go this way:
on the base layer a click will get the learner to the inside layer. (this I know how too:))
In the inside layer:
A frame moves in- a video appears and starts playing inside the frame- clicking on any place on the layer should stop the video and move video and frame out
I got something wrong because it's not working
Thanks
No need to. I managed on my own:)
That's good, Shevi. How did you fix it?
I had 2 problems
1. The movie didn't start automatically. I forgot to switch on the "Play video- automatically"... When I did, it worked:).
2. In order to stop the video when the user clicks the covering shape, I had trouble with finding the video in the list that appears in the trigger. The trigger I used was "stop media- video x- when the user clicks on the covering shape." At the end it did suddenly appear in the list...
It seems like I had to insert the video through this trigger (stop media- video x....) and then add the motion move etc. If I inserted it through the insert tab, I couldn't add the trigger to stop it- don't know why.
Thanks for sharing how you did it, Shevi! It's always helpful to hear how something got troubleshooted.
Hope your interaction is shaping up just the way you want it. :)
