Show Layer question
Jul 15, 2013
I have a layer with some audio in it that I want to show after certain conditions are met. Specifically, I want to show this layer after the last audio plays in a series of audio. For example, if I had 3 buttons that showed 3 different layers with audio and a 4th layer with audio that I want triggered after all these buttons have been clicked AND their timeline audio has finished playing. The second part is the real trick...I know I could do it after 3 button clicks and I know I could do it after timeline ends but I need ALL conditions to be satisfied.
What is the best way to accomplish this? As a side note, it would be useful if you could combine triggers. Things would be less messy. For example, I want to "Show Layer" AND "Adjust variable" WHEN "Media Completes".

Hi Jason,
It sounds like you would need to use a combination of variables, triggers and their conditions. I think you could use a different variable per layer, true/false maybe, with the variable changing to say true when the timeline on the layer ends or when they click to close a layer.
When the variables for the three layers are true, the fourth layer would open using it's own variable which via trigger and conditions stating that the variable can only be adjusted to true when the other three are true. Then you would setup another trigger that would open the fourth layer automatically once it's variable is true.
I hope that makes sense.
Always Happy to Help,
Adrian
Thanks for the reply. I did use a series of variables, layers, and triggers to get it done. I would like to see the ability to combine triggers (e.g. the same event triggers multiple events in one trigger, as opposed to creating a trigger for each).
