Working with layers

Hi - and you are NOT a pain

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked!

Assuming that you have a narration on each layer, one way to do this is to set up a Trigger that reads Hide Layer > This Layer > When Timeline ends OR when Media Ends.

Or...

Hide Layer > This Layer > When User clicks on xxx

Can you post the .story file here so that we can take a quick look and have a "play"?

Hi Bruce

Thanks for coming back to me.

Please find the file attached.

Hi,

One way is to go into each Layer, and select "Hide Layer when the Timeline finishes".

At the moment you have the Timeline set to 5 seconds, so you may want to, for example, drop that to 2-3 if the only thing that happens is the word appearing.

If you have not done so already, there's a good Tutorial - here.

Hope that helps.

Take care - and shout when you need help.

Thank you again Bruce.  That is really helpful.

Have a good evening.

Paolo,

You do not need to repeat your clouds on each layer.  They can still show through your layers. To see them on your layer timeline, click the little arrow that says "Base Layer Objects."  I deleted the layer clouds on the attached file.

So all you need to do is close each layer when the user clicks on a new cloud.  I did this by adding a rectangle off of the slide, and a trigger to "Hide layer when the user clicks outside of that rectangle". Any click will always be outside the rectangle because it is not on the slide.  So, where ever the user clicks next will result in the layer closing.

The result is that the user can click clouds quickly, and instantly the layer closes and they see the new layer. 

See the attached revised story file.

Thank you very much.  That is fantastic!

Excellent solution from Meryem

There are normally always a few ways to achieve the same effect with Storyline.
