We don't use the player in SL 360, so I set up a layer to display captions for audio on each slide of a project. I have a button that toggles the layer to show or hide.
However, in review, we realized that we don't want the user to have to toggle the captions on for each slide. If they choose captions, we want them to see captions until they choose not to see them.
Does anyone have ideas about how we could do this? Thanks!
Make the change in the slide master so it carries from slide to slide. Use a variable to show layer when "caption variable = true". Use your captions on/off mechanism to update the variable as well as to turn on/off captions on current slide.

Thank you. I tried that, but it does not seem to be working. Here's the trigger I have on the master:
Here are the triggers on each slide:
What do you think I am missing?
And thank you!
It is a bit more complex than that. You actually need 2 buttons (so you don't create a circular loop) on the slide master.
Button 1:
Button 2:
Slide Triggers (To set the state of the buttons at each slide start based on the captions variable):
On each slide's base layer, you need two triggers:
On your captions layer you need one trigger:

Thank you SO much, Owen! That seems to work. :)
