Layer Question

If you could post your .story file, it would be easier for someone here to help you. Use the ADD ATTACHMENT button on the bottom left when you create a new post. Then browse to your file (the .story file), and it will be attached when you POST.

Layers have timelines, and usually default to closing when those timelines end.

To return to the base layer, change the trigger's action to "hide this layer".

Hi, Sandy -- Thanks for reaching out with your question! As Walt mentioned, it's always helpful to share your file to share how things are set up and further illustrate what you are hoping to accomplish. You may want to take a look at this information on Working with Layers as well for a better understanding of how this functionality can be best utilized. 

Thanks your response but it doesn't answer my question.

How can I control the length of time a layer is displayed?

I'm sure there is a way, but as a new user, I do not see how. I really
need the layer to be displayed on the screen longer.

Thanks.

Hi, Sandy -- Apologies if I misunderstood your question. As Walt mentioned, Layers have timelines, so you may want to take a look at this thread that deals with adjusting timeline length. If that is not what you have in mind, please provide your file and we'll be glad to take a closer look. 

Go to the Timeline pane, click on this line and drag it to the right.

Thanks very much.  Moving the Timeline worked!   I thought I tried that before but it didn't seem to work.  Works now, though.

Thanks very much!
