Base layer not resuming to saved state when revisiting

Hello all,

I have a slide with 3 layers in addition to the base layer. The base layer acts as a sort of "menu" where there are 3 buttons that can be clicked on, each button triggering a specific layer:

When the timeline ends on each layer, it brings the user back to the base layer with this trigger:

When the user is brought back to the base layer, I do not want the timeline to run back from the start. I want it to resume to the saved state (meaning the text-to-speech is over, the user does not hear anything else, just clicks on another button to navigate to the other layers).

The slide properties of my base layer are set as follows:

Usually this configuration works well (it has been working for other slides that I designed with the same intention), but not for this slide. On this specific slide, when I click on 1 button and it comes back to the base layer once, it works properly (i.e. resumes to saved state) - but when I click on a second button, and it comes back to the base layer a second time, it resumes to the initial state. Regardless of which button I click on (I have tried several scenarios).

 

Is this a software bug? Could you please help me?

Many thanks in advance!

  • It does sound like a bug. One thing you could try though is to use a different trigger to return to the base layer: instead of jumping to the slide, try "hide layer this layer when timeline ends on this layer". That way the slide doesn't restart, so there should be no issue with any audios.
