Layers not returning all the time
Sep 13, 2016
Hello,
this might be hard to explain but here goes.
I am writing a how to guide on some software, and need to explain what each field does (28 fields) so I have put a hotspot that when clicked it goes to a new layer that then describes about that field. On the new layer I put a button (trigger) that when clicked it goes back to the General slide so they can click on the next field and so on.
How ever I click on 4-5 fields and then it goes to a different layer, if I then click on a TAB then back to the general on I can do some more fields until it goes again.
This seems to be a time issue so I have removed the seek bar and extended the time line but it helps slightly but does not cure it.
Have I missed a trick or is there a better way of doing this?

Hi Jason
it will probably help someone help you if you can upload the story file and folks can work with your setup.
I am new to this and I apologize how do I upload to here?
Hi Jason just use the grey 'Add attachment' button at the bottom of the post
Not sure if this is right or not but here goes :-)
Hi Jason!
You certainly attached the right file, but that is a lot of layers!
Can you walk me through the steps/clicks to re-create the issue you are reporting so I know where to focus?
Hello Leslie,
In this case regarding the amount of layers would it be best to do each in a new slide?
Based on what I have already if you click on the general TAB then just click on the fields below it will take you to a page explaining that field.
if you then go back using the button attached do this a few times then you will see the issue (or you should)
I did find that the 'Store Code' Hotspot is a hover over that I have changed on mine but still have the same issue.
Hi Jason
sorry I missed your upload last night but I've had a chance to view and see the same behaviour as you.
I tried the following but with no success:
Personally I would use a new slide but perhaps Leslie will have a better solution for you.
Good luck with your project!
Thank you Wendy, as I am new to this I don't know if this was the best way or not.
The reason I have done it this way on the project is because I have used Software simulation in an earlier scene and want to make the project varied and keep the learners engagement.
Thinking the new slide would be the best option. I will wait for Leslie just in case.
Thank you once again
No problem Jason - shout out anytime if you need help - there is always someone that will come to the rescue ;-)
Hi Jason - Yes, maybe each of the tabs on a new slide at least? I do see the behavior, but it seems random, so I cannot pinpoint the cause.
Ok,
Thank you. I will do new slides for each layer,
:-)
