GIF issue: unable to play again
Thank you, Nathan - appreciate it :-)
Hi MartinAbildg204!
Glad to see Nathan has been helping you!
In the current version of Storyline 360, I tried to recreate a similar design as to what you've shared. I added two GIFs, each on their own Slide Layer, with Buttons that are Triggered to show these Layers when clicked. I've also set my Layer properties to 'Resent to Initial State'. After publishing to Review 360, and testing in Google Chrome, both of my GIFS continued to loop when switching between them. I've attached a copy of the file I used in my testing, for your reference.
If you're comfortable sharing the .story file that was giving you trouble, I'd be happy to take a closer look! Feel free to upload that here in the discussion or privately through a support case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
I think @MartinAbildg204's original problem was that his gif was not looped, whereas both of yours appear to be.
Just adding for additional relevancy...
I needed to reset a looping GIF with the layer it appears on, and using the java in the gif-layer-test.story file the way Steven originally explained worked for me.
The GIF resets each time the layer does; it animates from the beginning of the loop the way I wanted. (My issue had been that the layer would reset, but the GIF would continue where it last left off each time the layer was shown.)
So, the proposed solution Steven shared works for both non-looping and looping animated GIFs if your goal is to have the animation reset every time the layer is shown.
