layers, items still visible when button has been clicked
Hi. I have a slide where the user is supposed to click on numbers as they appear to go to another layer. The problem is, when they click the number, say #1, the next number and the text that goes in that cell appears briefly before the layer changes. I don't want these to be visible until the user comes back to the base layer. Would this have something to do with visited states? Do I need variables? Please help. Thanks!
In the slide layer properties for the "1 Total Sales Nearby County" layer, make sure the option to hide objects on the baselayer is selected and try again.

Hi April,
Instead of changing the state of the number when you click the box. Set a trigger on the layer to change the state of square one to visited when they click the box. Make sure the trigger is above the hide this layer trigger or it won't fire. I've attached an example.
If you have a chance, please see my reply to Michael about my new problem. Thanks!
That worked, but now I have a new problem. It has to do with the variable that is on the layer with the total sales nearby (square 1). The total flashes on the screen before the rest of the slide has had a chance to show up. Any thoughts?
Here is one solution. Instead of having the variable change when the timeline starts have the variable change when the timeline starts on the text box. Then right click the textbox in the timeline and select timing. Adjust the timing. I changed it to start at 0.05 seconds and it seemed to work better.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
That worked. Thanks!
