layers are not staying on the screen

Here's the situation: I created a "table" interaction where the learner clicks the table row label on the base layer to open the "row" layer. On the row layer, there is narration and text that populates the row. I want the text to stay on the screen so the table is filled in after each row is selected.
The layers are not staying on the screen when another row layer is clicked. I have a pause timeline var so the audio doesn't overlap when you go to another layer, which works fine. The HIDE OTHER SLIDE LAYERS is not selected and that's the thing that doesn't work.
Any suggestions on how to get those layers to stay on the screen? It's supposed to be a comparison of features so one row at a time is not so useful.

Hm, that seems odd. With HIDE OTHER SLIDE LAYERS not selected, I would expect the layers to overlap, rather than close the previous layer. Can you share your .story file here so that someone can have a closer look?
Without seeing how your screen was built, try this...
Leave your audio on each layer but put your text on the base layer with your table. Set the text state to be initially "hidden". When the user clicks a row, set the hidden text state to Normal. The text for each row will remain on screen no matter what row the user selects. Each of your audio layers will play independently.
There are other ways to accomplish the same effect.
As Michael states, sharing your story makes things easier to diagnose and fix.
Thanks for the advice. I found the issue. Crisis averted. :-)
