Layer automatically closes at end of timeline
Hi,
I have a layer that is automatically closing at the end of the timeline within the layer. I have two layers for the same slide and one layer does this, while the other does not. I need them to remain open until the user clicks the button I've set up to return them to the base layer.
For layer properties, I have only checked "hide other slide layers" on both the layer that is working properly and the layer that is not working properly.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Community Miranda!
It sounds like there's some mechanism on that particular layer that is closing it down. Do you happen to have any triggers that might be causing this to happen?
Could you take a screen shot of the trigger panel on that layer and post? Or, if you're comfortable, post the file and we can take a look?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike! I've attached a screenshot to provide you with more info. The only trigger I have set up is the green button to return the user to the base layer. I have it set up the same in the other layers and they work just fine...so I'm a bit stumped. Any ideas?
Miranda,
Odd indeed.
Would you be able to send me the file so I can take a look?

Is there a way I can send the file to just you (a staff member) without having it attached to a public post? Thanks!
Miranda, You are always able to submit your file here if you need it secure. Thanks!

Thanks Leslie! I just submitted it.
Thanks Miranda! I can see where your case has been submitted (#00347889 for my records).
Hi Miranda! Looks like Jayem was able to identify your issue for you, so I hope you are off and running again.
I wanted to update the community so that they would know your issue was a result of an exit animation that needed to be removed.

Hi!
I'm having this exact same issue. I have 7 layers. They are all identical. The user clicks an X button to close the layer. Layer #5 closes automatically without waiting for user to click the X to close--so as soon as the timeline ends, it closes. There are no exit animations in this. All other layers work properly, waiting for the user to click. Any other ideas?

Can you share the slide Janet?

Hi Wendy,
I will, but I can't do it until the end of next week. Government..........it's going through a review now so that I can post it for our own internal users!! Guess I'll have to sit tight. I did try deleting the trigger and putting it back. I also tried duplicating the layer... but whatever it is, it's sticking with it! I may try recreating the layer over the weekend (as opposed to duplicating) and see if that does anything.
I'll post back one way or the other.
Thanks!
