Users Are Able to Click Mulitple Layers and Audio is Overlapping

Jul 18, 2023

Hello,

I have four slides with layers where I would like the user to view one layer at a time without being able to click the other layers while one is playing. I've created variables and a trigger to set the state to change to True when the timeline ends on the layer and a trigger for pausing the audio whent the timeline ends on the layer. I've been reading other Community threads but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Any suggestions would be so appreciated!

Based on your description, here are some simple options:

  • On the layer, add a shape that covers the buttons on the base. Give it an exit animation, so it'll uncover the buttons when the layer's timeline ends. 
    • Depending on the design, the shape could be solid or semi-transparent. Just be sure it is visibly obvious that the buttons aren't available for clicking.
  • Go to the Slide Layer Properties, and select the "Prevent the user from clicking on the other layers" checkbox. That will prevent the user from being able to click the buttons on the base while the layer is open. Of course, you also have to provide a button for them to close the layer, or have a trigger that closes it automatically when the audio ends.
