I'm trying to find ways to initiate exit animation on object upon clicking and/or other user interactivity.
For instance, I have a slide with images and a button. I would like to:
Upon clicking the button - image x plays its exit animation and then progress to the next slide. It's important for the exit animation to end before the slide progresses.
Never ind..I used the pause timeline trick. But it would be nice to know how to do this with States. I can get a state change to respond to clicks but it never plays an exit animation even though it is showing on that target State.
What type of an exit animation are you applying to your image? The reason I ask is that you can accomplish this if you use a motion path on your image, have the animation on the image "move" when the button is clicked, then have the slide auto advance when animation (motion path animation) completes.
That is correct. tt won't work in a state. You could copy the image, create your motion path to move the initial image, then have the copy image appear on the timeline when the motion completes (you'd have to figure out the timing) and then give that copy image a fade exit. Then, have a trigger for the slide to auto advance when the fade completes.
if you can share a copy of your slide there are a lot of clever people here who can probably suggest something to help you. It's easier to work with your setup so we know exactly what you are trying to do.

Hi Eitan,

I was actually looking for move and fade out.. so I used a State for that but the exit animation isn't playing on State change.

OK I will try that. Thanks.
