How to trigger exit animations on button press
The title doesn't fully capture the question though. I can use pause timeline to hold an exit animation until a button is pressed but what I'm struggling with is when I want to also have that button...
To me, it seems simplest to pause the timeline. Move the right end of the timeline of the object that serves as the button. For example, let's say you set it to 10 seconds, at which point it will disappear, using the exit animation.
Use a trigger to pause the timeline of the slide at 9.4 for an exit animation that is .5 seconds long.. Be sure to stop the timeline long enough before 10 seconds to accommodate the length of the exit animation.
Create a trigger to resume the timeline when the button is clicked. it will re-start and the object will animate out.
Create a trigger to jump to the next slide when the timeline reaches 10.1 seconds.
