Show layers

Jan 09, 2013

By Ken Liu

Hi there,

Is it possible, when timeline starts, to show different layers, according to some variables,

i.e. when variable A== True, show Layer A; when Variable B== True, show Layer B.

So Layer A and Layer B will show up at the same time, if Variable A and B all equal True?

I tried to put several Show layer triggers at the same time, and it only shows the last layer on the trigger list.

Could anyone please help me with this,

Thank you

Have you tried triggering first A (layer 2) then B (layer 3) from the Base layer, and then checking for B true from layer 2 (when A is true) at layer timeline start?

Make sure to uncheck the hide layer at end of timeline options on 2 and 3.

Good luck!

Hi Ken,

Reading your post I think you're nearly there - it my just be that Layer B is automatically hiding Layer A, this is a default setting. If you want the ability to see more than one layer at a time you need to open the Layer Properties (cog icon next to the layer name) and uncheck the 'Hide other slide layers' option.

Thanks Helen, that's exactly what I missed.
