Two triggers on one object?

Hi Marc. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

I took a look at the file and I think I found the problem. 

With the first image, the trigger is to show the "The Gateway" layer. The problem here is that the image on that specific layer had no trigger - the trigger was set for the image that was on the base layer. This isn't the image you're going to see if you also have the image on another layer. Once I put a trigger on that image to open the "Gateway Content" it works. 

I'm posting the modified version, if you'd like to take a look.

You are absolutely right!  What a silly oversight on my part. And to think I was going mad trying to figure this out.  Thank you so much for the quick response, its very helpful!

I have a related problem. It seems I can't get two triggers working on a picture - I have to use a hotspot every time. It just feels as if that's the hard way to do it, and I want to know if there's an easier way.

Specifically, I am using six checkmark buttons surrounding an image on the base layer. I have created six additional layers, each with a text box to go with one of the six buttons.

What I want to happen is for the image's state to change (I've created a state that's 80% transparent), and for the text in each layer to show right over the picture. So, I want my first trigger to change the state of the picture and my second trigger to display the layer with the text. However, only the first trigger is working. (I've also tried reversing them, but it didn't make any difference.)

Is a hotspot the only answer, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi Norma, this should be easy to do. You are probably just missing some little detail in your setup. Have a look at the attached file and see if that's what you want. Each of the six buttons has two triggers, one that changes the state of the pic, the other calls the corresponding layer. Hope that's what you wanted.

Hi Mike,

Thanks so much for the quick reply and for taking the time to create an example for me. This is almost what I need, but the text is disappearing too quickly.

Rather than extend the timeline, I'd prefer to have the learner control how long the text remains visible. Is there a way to do that using the setup you created?

Thanks again!

Norma

Hi Norma

yes, for my quick sample, I simply kept the timeline of the slide layers at 5 sec. You could either extend the timeline or add a 'Close' button to each layer that hides the layer when the button is pressed and returns to the baselayer..

Yes, I've used that technique on other slides.

This morning I experimented with another solution that worked but was much more labor-intensive: I put conditions on each of those two layer triggers to fire only if all the other five buttons were Visited - so, 10 additional conditions for each layer.

One button on the layer sure beats that!

Many thanks, Mike.

Hi Norma! Glad that Michael was able to assist you here.

Hi Leslie! People in this community never cease to amaze me. Thanks!

I agree Norma! It is a great place to be
