Add time delay before layer is visible
Thank you for your respons.
I have separated the responses into 3 layers. I have a slide in and slide out on the respons layer. But since I cant add a delay to the "Show layer" trigger, the slide out doesnt show.
In captivate you can add actions (triggers) to happen after each other in one bundle of actions. Doesnt seem to be the case in Articulate?
Mysk,
You are right. In the old Captivate you could beautifully program multiple actions to occur (like batch file scripting) and then name it something like "Actions 1", then program a button to execute "Actions 1" when it was clicked. Anytime you needed that batch file ran, all you had to do was program one thing to execute it.
In Captivate, "Actions 1" might have 5 things occurring, but you only had to set it up once and then just activate it to run it. In Storyline, if you have five Triggers on one slide and you want them to be duplicated on another slide you have to copy and paste, or reprogram, all 5 triggers over again. If that occurred over 5 slides that's 25 items programmed compared to Captivate's 10. It also makes it harder to debug.
As one who used alot of actions in captivate to develope courses I struggle to understand the setup for Articulate. But I will get there :)
