Storyline 360 showing hidden cued images
Apr 24, 2017
I have a project where there are two brands featured. Images for both brands exist on each slide, with the second brand's default state set to hidden. I show those hidden images when the user selects a button at the start of the course changing a variable to true. This works great when there is one image, at the beginning of each slide. However I am encountering that slides where multiple cued images exist, they either show up at the very beginning of the slide (timeline starts - slide) or they do not show up at all (timeline starts - image layer).
Am I missing something? Is there a way to get hidden images to appear, and fade in at their cue point when a variable calls for it?

Hi Ryan
I've just done a quick test file and it seems to be working as expected.
Can you share you .story file - might be easier if we can see your setup.
I can't really share my file since it's client confidential material.
I just tried again with a new project and it still did not work. Just to double check we're on the same page, I am working in 360 and not 2. The images are cued seconds apart down the timeline.
Did you change the state of the hidden image at the start of the timeline, with the condition variable ==true? Or maybe another method I'm not thinking of?
Here's my sample - perhaps I'm not doing the same as you. I have slide 1 on timeline start, slide 2 there is a cuepoint for one of the images. I used edit states tab - initial hidden state for one of the images.
Thanks so much Wendy! I was using the "when" of "change state" incorrectly. The cue points are the way to go. Looks like I'm good to go now.
Thanks again!
Great news Ryan - glad you sorted it out.
