Dial / Base layer issue
I have made a full screen background image to my base layer and I've created a dial on this layer to show different layers as the dial is turned. However, I would like the different layers to have a full screen background as well and for the dial to remain there, but as the dial is turned the respective background layer/full screen image appears in front of the dial. Any solutions please!
Add the image to states on the base image and change state when the dial changes
Hello Phil,
Sorry, I'm new to Storyline so please bear with me. Attached are 2 screenshots. I've added the image 'bg2'to the base layer. It can be seen listed in the Timeline (Screenshot 1), however, how do I go about changing the state for when the dial changes, as the triggers are greyed out (Screenshot2).
Thank you in advance.
Hello Will,
Happy to chime in!
Since your dial exists on the base layer, displaying a layer with an image that covers the whole slide will also cover all of the elements found in the base layer.
I've attached a sample project file so you can see how you can display different slide content using states instead of layers. You'll see in the file that a different state of the object will be displayed when the dial is moved. Within this state you can include other objects such as images and text. Let me know if you have any questions with the design.
