"Exit Animations" triggered by timeline

Is there a way to prevent a layer from hiding at the end of it's own timeline when using "Exit Animations"? When a user clicks on a button, a layer animates on. I want the layer to hide when the us...

Hi there, does anyone know if there is an "On Slide Exit" trigger? I am trying to play a chime when the user jumps to another slide using the next button or some other button. I dont want the chime to play "when timeline begins" just when they jump to another slide.

The trigger "timeline ends" doesnt work for me or I cant seem to figure out how to get it to work.

Thanks!

    Put the chime sound on a 1s-long layer that is triggered by clicking the next button, and then advance to the next slide when that timeline ends.

    It's cumbersome, but that should would work.

      Hi James, thanks for the suggestion. It worked okay as a workaround.

      What i really wanted to do was to put the chime in the "Correct" layer and have it chime when the user clicks "Continue" but for some reason when I do it that way in the "correct" layer, it will not work at all.

      I just realized something that Ashley wrote below that i need to ensure that the trigger appears before the trigger that will advance off the slide. I had no idea that it mattered where the triggers appear in the "Triggers" pane. I will have to pay more attention.

      Thanks James
