Layers not changing with Button Interaction
Maybe I'm missing something, but the screen capture doesn't show you ever hiding the layers above the base. That is, if you click one button and show the Case Officer layer, it just stays on top of the base layer forever. Should you maybe hide Case Officer when someone clicks on Digital Forensics?
When you select the slide properties (gear) icon of your layer, do you have "Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer" unchecked?
I would also put all of your buttons on the base layer in a button set (select all > right click > button set).
Let me know if those suggestions help!
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your reply. I can confirm that on every layer, the "Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer" option is unchecked, and I have added all the buttons on the Base layer to a new Button Set. Unfortunately, this hasn't resolved the issue.
For what it's worth I have attached a screen grab of what I see when I select the "Search Officer" button first when I preview the Base slide. This successfully shows the "Search Officer" layer. I've also added a "Selected" state for the button which turns to green. Note that when I select a few other buttons in Preview, they turn to green, but the associated layer for that button does not display. I can only change a layer by selecting select the "Replay" button in Preview, which resets to the Base layer and then when I select a button it loads the layer for that button.
My initial thought is the triggers might be crossed. Like, maybe one trigger was duplicated out for every button but each trigger still has the layer it was duplicated with instead of the layer respective to the button. Happy to take a look at the .story file to troubleshoot. Without it, there's a fair amount of guessing.
Thank you for your reply, Andrew. In the process of resolving this I decided to delete all the Triggers and start from scratch. It looks like through the process of elimination I somehow resolved the issue, but I'm not sure how. I think I'm going to have to review a few more videos from Mr Anderson to brush up on my understanding of Layers and Triggers!
Ahhhh. I see! I was confused by the original framing and I see others have reached out to assist :)
