I want to jump from a timeline point in Scene 1 to the start of the timeline in Scene 2 and then, when Scene 2 has run its course, return to the timeline point at which I left Scene 1.
Is this possible?
thanks,
Arthur Loughran
PS I can jump back and forth to timeline points in a slide if I use a layer as the target (thanks to Michael Hinze) but not scenes.
You can do this for a slide by adjusting your slides to "Resume Saved State" when revisiting.
For a scene, you'd probably have to use some more compicated logic, but it depends on your branching.
Generally speaking, you'd have to do something similar to this :
A) Create a number (or text) variable (say "scene1progress").
B) Add a trigger to adjust the variable scene1progress to value 1,2,3 and so on when timeline starts on each slide in scene 1.
C) Modify your element in Scene 2 (whether that is a button or something else) that you want returned to scene 1, and add multiple triggers to that element in the form of : Jump to "Slide 1.1 when user clicks if variable scene1progress=1", and then keep adding triggers accordingly on the same element (Jump to "Slide 1.2 when user clicks if variable scene1progress=2" and so on).
If you don't already have these Scene 1 slides set to "Resume Saved State", do so now, otherwise you're probably good to go.

Hi Alexandros,
Thanks for your reply and apologies for my tardy response. Work gets hectic from time to time.
I will test out your suggestion and post the results.
