Want: Base Layer Always Active
May 15, 2013

Hello,
I have a base layer with a few buttons on them and then a layer for each specific button.
I want the base layer to always be visible and clickable for users to move through the layers at their convenience, but it seems each time I preview it, the moment I click on one button, I get stuck on only that layer, and cannot click anything else on my base layer.
I have the box "Prevent user from clicking on the base layer" UNCHECKED on all of my layers -but my base layer remains dimmed and inactive.
I also have all of the 'Base layer objects" visible (the small eyes open) on each of my layers.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
M.

Hi M,
Sounds like you have everything set up correctly. Any chance you can share the .STORY file? Maybe it would help to get another pair of eyes on this.
Thanks!
Hi M.
Is there an object on the layer that is overlapping/covering the buttons on your base layer ?
For instance a large text area, a hotspot ...

Hello!
Geert: I don't have an object overlapping or covering buttons on the base layer... but good thinking.
And Christine: Thanks for offering to take a look at this. I have attached the two slides I'm specifically having issues with. Let me know if you figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you!

Mariana,
It looks like you have a solid fill background with some transparency on your layers. This is blocking you from clicking on the base layer. If you right click in your layer, and select "no fill" this should clear it up.

Yay Mike!
Thank you!!! It worked.
