Simple click and show - but it's broken and don't know why

Oct 30, 2015

Hi Everyone, 

This is a simple click and show - but mysteriously, it has broken.  The learner is supposed to be able to click all 3 bins, in any order.  However, now in testing, it broke - and once you click on one bin, it has made the other 2 bins "unclickable".  Why?  It's making me crazy.  I can't figure it out.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!  Thanks!!

I tracked the problem down to the master for the layers. Layers take their characteristics from Feedback masters. This one acts like there is some invisible object that covers the layers, preventing you from clicking on the base layer. I put objects on the layers, and can click on them, so that is not the problem. Somehow, the layer is preventing clicking through.

I created a new project, with one slide. When I imported that slide into your project, it brought its masters with it. When I changed the layout of your layers to use that new layout, they work. The layout is called New Blank. It works, but I don't know why yours doesn't. I hope it isn't because of some corruption that will cause you trouble later.

Hi Walt,  Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this.  I will check out your slide and see what happens.  It is so odd, I wonder if it is some kind of corruption.  I'm now checking all my other interactive slides to see if anything else broke  in the module.  Thanks again for your help!
