SL2 Object on Base Layer Visible on Slide Layer

STOP THE PRESSES...ISSUE SOLVED ITSELF!

Not sure what just happened. The base text object, in question, is no longer showing on slide layer.

I didn't make any adjustments since posting this issue.

Must be RAM and/or monitor issue, perhaps?

Thanks all!

OK....I'm not seeing things.

The base text object IS no longer previewing on slide layer 1.

However, it's now showing on the addt'l 3 layers....I Kid You Not!

Creepy :-)

Hi Manacha!

Would you be able to share your .story file so that we could take a look?

Thank you Staff Leslie,

Attached is the file.

I removed this scene from the whole, in rough format, to send to you.

I also removed some proprietary slide masters/logo, etc. I'm mentioning this because upon doing so, the text box object no longer shows on the "part two-C" layer. However, it is still showing on the "winterize results" layer.

Not sure if master slide should be an issue as the text object is on the base layer only.

While you'll in there, feel free to suggest the best way to let the student know that he has "10 secs" in which to complete the gamification/task. You'll see what I mean when the "plane comes flying by with a banner".....I laugh at this, but hey, I'm easy. Just doesn't look right to me.

Any helps would be great!

BTW Leslie,

I've changed the "You have 10 secs" graphic....oweeee! Better than what I have now :-)

Hi Manacha!

What object am I looking for? I'm not clear even after looking at your project. Unless you are referring to the 'Winterizing your Vehicle' text - which does not show on part two - C because it has been hidden on the timeline:

Hi Leslie,

In preview mode you can see the base text object named "keypoints" behind the temporary blue shape.

The "keypoints" are bullet points and should only appear on the base line.

In SL, when "winterize results" layer is selected you can clearly see that the "keypoints" base layer object is deselected. Therefore, should not appear in preview mode.

Sorry for the confusion....sometimes I can be a typical "female" and use wayyyyy to many words.

Thank you for your time.

Leslie,

I hope I didn't label the base text object that's giving me issues AFTER I forwarded to you.

If so, go to the base layer, its the paragraph object.

Peace!

Thanks for the description. I'm not seeing an issue with that text box when previewing your course. Screen recording attached.

Greetings Leslie,

Thank you for taking the time to create the screen recording.

Now,  I see why you didn't 'see' the error layer. This is because the scene wasn't completed in your preview mode. There's one more layer.

You may not have noticed the countdown timer on layer "part two-c" (its in dev stage) in the title bar in red. Once the countdown reads 10 it will show last layer "winterize results". There you will see the base layer paragraph peeking behind the temporary blue rectangle.

Hope that helps.

To Leslie,

Here's the SL2 preview shot of the last layer.

Thank you for the additional steps/details and the image Manacha! That was certainly helpful.

So, when I checked that layer - the items were not set to be hidden:

I hid the actual keypoints:

Now I think this layer works as expected.

Hope that helps :)

That absolutely doe, Leslie!

Here's how:

1. my base text object was grouped

2. in the image I sent you you can see keypoints 'unchecked'

3. however, the items within the group was still "selected/checked"

Summary - This is a group, thing!!!!

Peace to you and thank you so much for your time and resolution.

You know what Leslie? I appreciate your diligence so much, I have another "task" for you.

Issue:   "In Preview mode, when you click the next button, (there's only one), to advance to the 'knowledge Check' page, the page appears for a sec and jump back to the previous slide."

I did not set a trigger for this action.

Peace!

Hi Manacha! You only have one slide in what you shared, so I'm not sure I could follow along to what the issue may be here.

First back to the "winterize safety driving" task.

Though the text object "keypoints" is one object, on the timeline each bullet point can be checked or unchecked individually. That is what I didn't know.

I unchecked the 'first' box, as you can see in the image.

However, you've shown me that I need to check "all the boxes" under keypoints. Since I did not physically group them, I did not see the points as individual objects.

Makes sense for sure Manacha - I did notice your selection.

Whew!!!!

I'll admit I'm a newbie....but didn't think of myself as a first-level newbie. :-) Thank you for confirming that I'm not.

Hi Leslie,

You should have everything you need in contained in the scene; base and two layers.

1. when the "explanation" slide completes and the next button is available
2. click the next button to advance to the "knowledge check" slide
3. it is here you will see that the "knowledge check" slides does appear
4. however, it only appears for a few seconds then automatically take you back to the  previous "explanation layer"

Not sure why!

TuDaH! (thank you)

Hi Leslie,

I just notice that I should have started a new thread when I posted a different issue.....sorry about that. Re: dev_MaNaCHa.story file

Anywho, I THINK, I see the problem. The triggers on the base layer places the "explanation" slide in a loop because of the timer function. Ughhh!

What do you think? If so, How do I get around that?

Hi Leslie,

Me...again!

Issue resolved. Here's what I did:

I added 2 triggers on the "knowledge check" layer to end both medias from the previous layer, when the timeline started for that layer.

"It's all about the triggers!"

Thank you for your time.
