"Timeline Starts" triggers not working on iPad

Hi Ronnie!

Triggers that are scheduled to execute when the timeline of a specific object starts or ends may not always work as expected.  If possible, apply these triggers to the slide itself rather than an object to avoid unexpected results.

"When the timeline of an object starts" is the same as saying "when the object is shown".  Likewise,"when the timeline of an object ends" is the same as saying "when the object is hidden".

For example, let's say we have a button on our slide, and its initial state is hidden.  We want to use a trigger to change the button's state to normal, depending on a variable.  We need to apply this trigger to the slide itself, not the button.

Even though the button's timeline may stretch across the entire duration of the slide, our trigger will not work if it is applied to the button itself, because the button is initially hidden.  "When the timeline of an object starts" means "when the object is shown".

If you need us to take a look, feel free to share your .story file or sample .story slide.

Hi Leslie

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately the triggers in question are assigned to the slide rather than to objects and are still not calling when the slide loads.

I'm afraid I can't share my actual work due to confidentiality concerns, but I'll try to make a sample Story file to share to demonstrate the issue.

Thanks again,
Ronnie

Sounds great Ronnie! You can also share privately here if needed and an NDA can be signed as well.
