Issue with quiz
Sep 06, 2014

The timer is getting stopped as soon as i click on any drop-down menu.
The timer has been created from a post in this forum.
Please go through my story file (which i have attached).
Can't find a solution for the timer not working if i click on any drop-down menu.
Each drop-down menu is in seperate layer (Q1 to Q8.)
The timer is in Slide Master View.
I'll be grateful if anyone can find a solution for this.

anyone?
As the timer is on a layer and your drop downs are on layers, as you open the drop down it si set to hide all other layers which breaks your timer.
You need to set them to not hide other layers
which one i should set not to hide ?
i had already experimented with deselecting " Hide other slide layers" on every Drop-Down layer (Q1 to Q8).Though the timer keeps running, it breaks the interactivity of the drop-down layers.The user can't properly select menus / buttons on drop-down layers.
Can u please take a look in my project and suggest me a workaround?
all of your drop downs should not hide other layers as they will stop the timer.
You will need to set triggers to hide the specific layers and ensure the functionality stays the same.
You need to think through how to open the drop downs but ensure you do not hide any layers, which means thinking through the triggers.
can u pls explain a lilttle bit .. i am getting confused.
will it be possible for you to do this workaround for 1 layer ?
This sort of works, the timer is off though, I have only done Q1
thanks a lot .. but i think the timer is counting slow ... is it ?
it should count by 1 second.
IT is counting slow, You need to adjust it
can u tell me the procedure how to adjust it ?
i don't have that much knowledge in variables.....
