Layer objects visibility after 1st visit.
Jul 04, 2019
I am trying to create progressive reading course where the student will learn to read a sentence per word or group of words. My approach has been to use layers and reveal each layer on the click on a button. The main slide will content the whole sentence and a navigation button to the first layer. The first layer will contain the first word, the second layer the second word etc. The student can navigate to the next layer or previous layer via buttons. I want words on previous layers to be visible on each layer. I have set all layers on " Hide base layer objects" and to show other layers.
The problem I am facing is when the learner hit the previous button on any layer, the previous layer are not being hidden.
Should I hard wire the hiding of all previous layers of Is there any simple solution to this ?
I am using Storyline 2
Thanks

I'd have the progressive layers contain all the words rather than single words. For example, let's say you have 10 words.
Layer 1 has word 1.
Layer 2 has word 1 and word 2.
Layer 3 has word 1 and 2 and 3.
Create layer 10 first with all the words and proper alignment. Then duplicate it for the other layers and remove the words.
Thanks Tom,
This however does not address the issue when I hit the previous button.

If you use the default layer properties which is to not show previous layers, you should see that the progressive reveal works as noted.
I see what you mean, however not having all words on each layer make easier to dim learned sections.
What I am looking for is how to hide again next layers when one navigate to the previous layer button. For instance if I am on layer #3 I see the content of layer 1, 2 ,3. If go to previous layer , #2, I want the layer #3 content to disappear, I see only layer 1 and 2.
You'd have to have triggers to show the layers you want.
In that case, all layers should be visible and then you'd need to create a trigger to show and hide layers that you desire.
Thanks.
That’s what I was planning to do. It is just à peine to have all those triggers.

How can I hide some objects on a layer once the timeline of another layer starts without hiding the layer containing those objects ?
Without seeing your file - you could place shapes over the objects you want to hide when the new layer shows
Wendy's tip is probably the easiest because you can move objects on the timeline. Of course, you could make it more complex using variables.
Thanks all for the assistance. I am all set on this aspect.
