Show and hide layers
Oct 24, 2015

How would I do this?
On click on a button, I want to:
- Show a layer (which I know how to do)
- AND, hide only 2 objects on the base layer
I know how to hide the entire base layer on click, but I can't figure out how to only hide 2 objects on the base layer.
I tried to create another layer that essentially hides the base layer under a square shape the same color as the background. But I don't know how to call more than one layer with one trigger.
I know someone out there knows how to do this! You've never let me down so far!

Hi Cindy
on the layer timeline you will see the objects on the layer and also a show / hide arrow for the base layer. Click the arrow to display the items on the base layer and then click the show/hide icons for the ones you want.
See this tutorial at the bottom - hide individual objects on a layer

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your speedy response on a Friday night!
Ha ha CIndy - it's Saturday morning here in Australia and I'm just back from the pool! Hope that helps you.
Hello,
Sorry to bump and old thread but I'm having issues with showing and hiding layers during the duration of my timeline.
I have content and audio on my base layer, and then a futher 2 layers (both with their own audio) that i want to show at different stages of my timeline. I also want to hide the base layer when the other layers are visible.
The link you provided was helpful but it doesnt seem to work for me. I have triggers set up to show the other layers but they don't appear?
S.O.S HELP
Thanks
Michael.
Hi Michael
It might be as easy as trigger order but can you share the .story file - it would be easier to offer a solution if we can see your setup. Just use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post to upload.
