Objects on layer are not displaying - Storyline 1
Jan 22, 2016
I've created a base layer with a trigger to show an additional layer when the timeline ends. The layer displays with a text box that is part of that layer, but the other objects on the layer do not display/animate.
Slide properties for base layer:
- advance by user
- resume saved state when revisiting
Slide layer properties checked:
- Hide other slide layers
- Hide objects on base layer
- Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer
- Pause timeline of base layer
File with slide and layer are attached below.

I forgot to mention - when I imported the slide into a new Storyline project, I tested the functionality of the layer and it still didn't work.
Hi Victoria
very odd. I just created a new layer with a shape and a text box - both animated to fade in similar to your layer and with same layer properties.
The shape appears fine (first thing in timeline) and the text box doesn't. If I rearrange their order on timeline, the text box displays and the shape doesn't.
I then created a new file with similar actions and objects and it works fine.
Very strange behaviour - not sure if you want to try and do a repair of SL see this info here. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thank you, Wendy. Yes, I agree that it's very odd behavior since I've been using layers throughout my course so far. Just before receiving your reply I ended up moving everything on the layer to another slide and it works fine. If I run into this issue again, I'll definitely do the repair.
By the way, where do I find the slCleanup.bat file, in case I need to do the repair?
Thanks!
Hi Victoria! It's in the zip file that you would download in that documentation Wendy shared :)
Ah! Thank you, Leslie. :-)
