Layers appearing in Preview

Hi Bob,

If you could post the .story file here we could take a look for you.

Hello Bob,

I haven't seen the project but a lot of times, you have to go back to your triggers and check the "sequence". Make sure that the show layer is listed first before anything else. (In short just make sure the sequence of the triggers are correct as you designed them to)

But ya, it would be great if you can share so we can take a peek.

Donna.

Hi Bob and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

Here is a tutorial if you would like to take a look at that.

You want to make sure those triggers are right  To show layers, you need to "trigger" their appearance.  

For example, on the base layer you may add a trigger that says "show layer>untitled layer 1>when timeline starts"

Here are the slides so you can see what is happening...

Hi Bob,

I think I see where the confusion may have crept in. Each layer has it's own independent timeline, to make layers show you need to trigger them. As you cannot trigger them with a command such as 'after 10 seconds' I've attached a sample of how to trigger a layer using an off screen shape. So your triggers read 'show layer X when timeline starts on offscreen shape' 

Hope this helps

FYI layers are useful when you want to show specific info when the user clicks on a specific button/object

If you just want to layer in more information at various times you can just use the base layer and fade items in/out 

Thanks Harri for popping in to assist Bob here
