Link to slide layer possible?

I don't know of any native way to link directly to a layer on another slide.  You could think outside the box and

1. create duplicate slides (of those that have layers you're going to call) 
2. add a trigger (on each of those slides) that shows X layer on timeline start
3. launch the relevant (duplicate) slide when necessary

Okay, that's a pretty simplistic overview, but it would work if your content and layers were "suitable".  It would also not work if you had some bust content or mechanics that 'broke' it.

Hi Ma,

Here's a very quick demo I put together as one possible solution. The example uses one text variable and a timeline trigger to show layer (red, blue or yellow) when the timeline starts.

I'm traveling right now, but I'll follow up later this evening.

Hi Ma,

Here's a quick tutorial on how I set things up in the demo:

This is very cool and solves a problem I'm having right now - thank you!

Wow! Glad to see that this conversation is still helping people out.

Thanks for chiming in to share Angela :)
