I've looked through the site but can't seem to find information on how I can have different slide layers appear using a slider. I have set up the slider with 6 stops and have my slide layers but I can't seem configure the variables properly.
I need help with using layers and sliders. I've read the tutorial. I've watched the videos. I've looked at the example attached above and have tried to set everything up in mine exactly the same way. Still doesn't work. What am I missing?

Your slider is connected to the wrong variable (currently Slider10). Based on your triggers, it should be Slider1. Select the slider and then change the variable assignment in the Slider Tools > Design tab.
It worked. Thanks. However the variable seems to change itself. I'm not doing anything to it (as far as I know) but somehow it moved from Slider 1 to Slider 10 and then when I just opened it now to test your solution it was actually listed as Slider 7. Any idea what this all means?

Maybe this variable on another lside in your project. You seem to have a bunch of sliders in various slides. Double-check that no other triggers/sliders reference this variable.
Emily, in this sample I notice if I move the slider back to the start posistion it still shows the lmage from the second(layer1) position, shouldn't it go back to a blank screen with just the sliderbar? why is it retaining the layer property? I am having same problem with my own sliders
In this particular file, there is no triggers for when the Slider is = 0, which is the starting point. You could add a trigger to Hide Layer 1 when the Slider is = 0. This should make it go back to the starting point. Attached is an updated example.
Hi, Kerry -- It looks like Ron is assisting you over here in a new thread you started, so I wanted to be sure to link the two for anyone following along.
Thanks for sharing your file Kerry and allowing us to take a look. I have posted my thoughts as they related to Ron's in that thread as well and you can find it here.

Hello Mark!
You will need to use the trigger "show layer" when the "slider moves". Here is a tutorial about sliders, and attached is an example.
Hope this helps!
Hi Emily,
I saw the tutorial before but the example definitely helped.
Thank you,
Mark
You are welcome, glad this helped!
Hi Emily,
Your tutorial has finally allowed me to understand sliders! Thank you so much :)
A very happy Hannah :)
Glad to hear Hannah, and welcome to the community!

Hi guys,
I have read the tutorial, looked at the example and checked the other example on here, I can't seem to get my sliders to work!
Please could someone take a look for me, I'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks, Kerry
