Generally, when SL places a trigger, it does so in dependence on the object it is attached to in the trigger wizard. If you attach the action to an object on the layer, it should show on the layer. Be sure you use an action that can take place on the layer, and an object that is on the layer. Remember that the trigger wizard shows objects on both the layers, and the base.
If that isn't your problem, if you will attach your .story file here, someone may be able to suggest an answer.
No, all I'm doing is working on the navigation. on the layer i'm placing the next and previous triggers. but when i add a trigger, next or previous to the slide layer, it places the trigger on the main slide. and for some reason there is a trigger to go to the next slide on one of the layers but it won't progress. i have no idea what's going on. I wonder if it's my software.
I've been using this for a while and i always put triggers on my layers.
that's how i create navigation. it won't allow me to put any triggers on
the layers. not even ones to jump to another layer.
Previous and Next triggers are player triggers so will be added to the base layer only if you want to have navigation between the layers using the previous and Next triggers then you will need to add in conditions using either a variable or shapes.

Hi Cindy
the Next and Prev triggers are player triggers so will always display on the base layer.

It won't move past slide 3. it'll let me add triggers to the layers but not if they include the previous or next button.
Why don't you move your layer's content on base layer 3 to another base layer by creating a new base layer?.
Or you can see my example I mentioned below.

Hi Cindy!
I took a peek at your file and it seems that you want the Next button to navigate through layers then navigate to the next slide.
You will need to utilize variables as well to do so.
I updated your slide 1.2 as an example.
