Can a variable-triggered 'hidden' object remain hidden on revisit, despite 'reset to initial state'?
Happy Friday, everyone!
My slides (and some layers) have audio narration that I want to restart on each revisit. I have them set to 'when revisiting, reset to initial state.'
Is there a way to t...
Hi Allan,
In the attached example, I have created a True/False variable, ShowShape that starts as True and changes to False when the Hide Shape button is selected on Layer 1 of the slide. The triangular shape is initially Hidden, but is changed to Normal when the timeline starts provided ShowShape is equal to True.
As a result, when the slide is shown for the first time, the shape will appear at the start, but once the shape has been hidden by clicking on the Hide Shape button, the variable will change to False and so the shape will never reappear however many times the slide is revisited. However the text file (in this case a short text to speech file) will always replay.
When you preview the example, first click on Show Layer, then Hide Shape, Hide Layer and Next Slide. Finally, click on the Previous Slide button on the second slide to return to the start. You should now hear the audio without seeing the shape.
Hope this helps
