How to restart the timeline with a trigger
Hi,
I want to use only custom made buttons, but now I have a problem with a timeline animation.
I made a pause button that shows a layer on which the base layer is paused and a play button on that layer. It works perfectly.
But I can not seem to make a trigger that resets the timeline for the baseslide. (just a restart button)
(going away from the slide and returning only results in resuming the timeline where it was)
Can anyone help me with a simple solution?
Thanks!

Hi Michael
If you have your slide set up as "Reset to Initial State" and set a trigger to jump to the slide that you are on, it should have the effect of restarting it.
Thank you! Just what I was looking for!

Is there a way to use this to trigger replaying a slide layer from its initial state? If instead of 'jump to slide', i select 'show layer' as the trigger it doesn't restart the timeline of the layer.
Hi Anik,
Did you manage to find a fix for this?
I am trying to achieve the same thing.
I would just like to restart the layer, but unfortunately the 'When revisiting: Reset to initial state' function doesn't work when you set up a trigger to show the layer that you are already on.
