Showing multiple layers with one action

set each layer properties so it does not die other layers 

Hi Orson,

If you'd like to follow along with Phil's suggestion, here's a good place to start learning about the layer properties. 

Thanks to both of you, and I will check out the linked article. The strange thing is that I already had made it so none of my layers were hiding other layers. If a single hover action can cause 2 layers to be displayed (which is what I thought I set up), and one layer is above the other, that higher layer should continue to be visible...... right? (I think I've found a workaround, but I'm still puzzled by the issue.) 

Hi Orson.  Have a look at my sample.  If you hover over the red circle, it should display layers "one" and "two."

I've attached my .story file too, so you can see how closely it matches your setup.  I'm guessing you might have more objects and more layer combinations to trigger.  If you'd like to share your .story file here, I'm happy to have a look!

Hi Crystal, 

Thanks for your example. I am attaching a file that has both layers displaying, but one fades away after a few secs and I don't know why. I am sure I have missed something about the way I set this up.

Hi Orson!

Since the "photo layer" has an image background, you'll want it to display behind the "software is" layer. To do this, you'll want the "photo layer" to open before the "software is" layer.

This is where trigger order comes in. Move the "Show layer photo layer when the mouse hovers over" trigger to the top of the list. Then, preview the slide.  Voilà! Now both layers appear. 😁

Wow!! Thanks to everyone... and thank you Alyssa for teaching me something basic to using SL: Trigger order. I had it backwards (or upside down).

Glad Alyssa was able to help you out here, and trigger order is one that has plagued us all at one time or another!
