I am trying to get a PAUSE button to work on a slide with multiple layers. I have added a PAUSE layer and have selected "Pause timeline of base," but the PAUSE button seems to have no effect on my layers when viewing. Once I pause it, I am unable to PLAY it again. I also created PLAY button within my PAUSE layer and set the trigger to "hide this layer when the user clicks this button." I need my PAUSE/PLAY to function throughout my entire slide. Thanks ahead!
I'd be interested to see how you have your layers and triggers set up. Would you mind sharing your file here in the forum? You can use the Add Attachment button at the bottom of the reply window.
Due to confidentiality, I am unable to attach the file. I do not have any trouble with the pause button on slides without layers. I only have trouble setting up the pause button on the slides with layers.
Hi Kara! Just sent you an email in reply to your case requesting the .story file instead of the .zip file.
Also, just wanted to let you know that when you reply to a thread via email, your comment will include your email signature. You're welcome to pop in and edit out any personal info if desired. :)
Hi there Kara! Thanks so much for being patient with me while I played around with your file. I sent you a reply to your case that includes the updated file. What are your thoughts on removing the 'Pause' layer completely and using the pause button in the course player? The trick to making that work is adjusting the settings on each layer to Allow seeking: Yes.
With this setting, each layer has it's own seekbar, and the slide can be paused at any time.
Take a look at the file I sent you, and let me know what you think. If this doesn't fit what you were looking to do, we'll keep at it!

No problem! You can send your file to me privately by way of this form, if you would like.
