I am trying to create an "Instructions" layer and I only want this layer to be viewed the first time the slide is visited because there are 18 other slides that link back to this slide, and it will be annoying if this layer shows the user the simple instructions every time they come back to this slide.
Geert, works like a charm one thing I did have to do, was put a trigger on the base layer in order for the "instructions" layer to ever show up, I don't know why that is. Thanks again Geert!
I'm happy to help! I've created a sample file that includes variables and triggers to show a layer only when the user visits the slide for the first time. I've also created a tutorial that you can watch where I've explained the steps. Here's the link.

Hi Jeff,
You can do this with 1 variable and 2 triggers
Define a variable let's say vViewed, which you give an initial value of False
On the slide where you want to show the layer, you define 2 triggers which fire when the slide timeline starts
The first trigger fires and shows the layer when vViewed = False
The second trigger adjusts the vViewed variable and sets the content to True
Cheers
Geert
