Layers and timelines
Oct 22, 2018
Hello, I am rewriting a Flash course. I became enamored with layers, and have now discovered (duh) that pausing the base layer does not pause the secondary layers.
What feature should I attempt to implement to accomplish this?
I'm just putting out that question rather than expending effort in explaining the last four hours of my life and what hasn't been working.
In general, the audio is on the base layer, and any other content which is common to all layers is there also.
Any push in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you, Judy

My only guess and this is off the top of my head not looking at it. Make a T/F variable and make it true when the player is going and false when it is not through triggers and somehow tie it all together.
Thank you Keith.
See attached for what I ended up with. (Note, had to remove copyrighted images.)
As a newbie to Storyline, I find I end up going back and forth with something, only to discover, eventually, oh that's how that works. THAT could end up being just about anything I've tried to do.
I also think I did not properly use Layers. I thought it was cool that I didn't have to mess with all the screen changes on one view if I used Layers. But once I discovered the impact with pause/play, I would have been much better off hiding various components during development if I wasn't particularly working with that 'view'. Maybe I could have modified the audio file, broke it up and maybe had multiple slides and automatic navigation.
