Please help! Creating a trigger won't work!

Hey Flora. Not sure why you're having problems with SL but I would suggest a restart of your OS and SL. That usually clears up issues like this. Also check that your version is current.

I did a few things to the file:

1. converted the small clouds and text to buttons so the user can click either to show that info
2. created slide layers for each one
3. added triggers to each button to show that layer

I'll leave it up to you to put in the necessary information on each slide layer. By allowing the user to click on the base layer this allows the user to click on each button and view the information without having to close each slide layer.

Hope this helps. 

My suggestion is to turn off your computer, and restart it. If that doesn't work, you may need to re-install SL.

I had no trouble adding triggers to slide 1.25.  One thing I might point out is that groups don't have states, so the text that is on the cloud must have the state changed for each individual item. If that is your cup of tea, fine, but I need to have a VERY compelling reason for using groups (which means I can't remember the last time I did.) Groups don't play nicely with almost anything you can think of, and the user can't tell the difference. FWIW.

Thank you, Mike. The problem with SL was due to my laptop needing firmware updates and that the my work file was corrupted. The solution with triggers and layers was perfect and what I was looking for. Thank you for helping me!
