Issue with custom timer
Aug 29, 2014

i'm facing a problem with the custom graded question slide i have created.If i click on the try again button (which will be shown only if user can't score more than 50%), the timer resumes from last saved state (when i have clicked submit button).
Say i have clicked submit button when timer was on 50 secs.Now if i click on try again button, the timer will resume from 48 secs (50 - 2 secs).Total duaration of timer is 60 secs.
I want everything to reset to initial state if i click on try again meaning the timer will start from 60 secs again.

thanks for the quick reply .. let me check it.....
do i add a blank slide or layer ? if, it can be done within the same slide, that will be more helpful because i don't want to unnecessarily increase slides.Then i need to add one slide for every exercise slide.
Also i can convert that gif animation to a movie file if needed.
Everything is working fine except that timer with try again button.
i'll try it .... thanks
one more thing .can i pause the gif animation ? means say when i have clicked on submit button, the timer was showing 30 secs.i want to pause it at that time.is it possible with gif animation?
i have attached the story file.
the trigger for retry button is at the end of trigger panel on base layer.
Also there is no jump to layer.only jump to slide.
the point is timeline is getting resumed from last state (when the user clicked on submit button).The trigger has nothing to do with timer.It (the trigger) is ending the quiz when timeline reaches 60 secs.The timer is just there to show time remaining to a user.I have also added a trigger to stop the timer(submit button is clicked) or start timer(when revisiting the slide) based on user interaction.
The first solution you mentioned works fine.But it's not working with layers (2nd solution).
I'll try with a movie file.I have to convert that gif anim. to a movie file then.
i have created this timer in photoshop layer wise (each sec on one layer).then used photoshop's timeline to create frame animation.will i lose transparency if i convert it into a movie file?
i have attached the psd file.
