My Layers are not Showing in Preview?

Thanks Sandra. Yeah, that isn't checked. It's just so odd that it prevents me from clicking on anything else once I've triggered a layer. I will keep investigating. Thanks for your help!

You're welcome! Sorry we couldn't figure it out! You know, when all else fails, I rebuild a slide. Sometimes things just get wonky, or I overlook something super obvious, and rebuilding it usually results in an aha moment. Good luck!

I appreciate your help! I just deleted the rectangles and made it work. I just tried to get too fancy with it. :)

Hi there

I've had inconsistent luck with using layers.  The one I'm currently having issues with, all I'm trying to do is have a blue box appear at a cue point.  The blue box is the layer named "Transcript Box".  I have a trigger on the base layer:  Show layer Transcript Box When the timeline reaches cue point Cue Point #2 (21.5s)

I am watching it in Preview and it's not showing that box.  I have tried to shift the box "Move to Front" / it is the top item in the timeline thinking maybe it's hiding behind something else?

Any suggestions?

If it's in a layer it will be on top of everything on the base layer. I tried it and it worked for me. See top of screenshots attached.

You could also accomplish this by putting the blue box on your base layer and just dragging its start to the right on the timeline so that it shows up at that cue point. No need for any trigger or layer See bottom of screenshot.

Thanks first to @Sandra Collins.  This was actually the route that I chose to go (first) because I was stuck, couldn't get it to work and that's how it could be done in PowerPoint.  But I was hoping that Articulate was NOT only as good as working in PowerPoint or why use it?

But further thanks go to @Wendy Farmer!  Looking at your actual example helped me to solve for what I was doing incorrectly!  All was good - except that I was moving the timeline start of the Layer to where the cue point was on the Base Layer timeline.  Why?  No idea!  In my mind, I had to have it start there vs it being an item simply controlled by the Cue Point trigger on the Base Layer timeline.  That makes TOTAL sense and I have no idea how I was straying down the wrong road on using Layers/ Cue Points.  THANK YOU!!!!

Similar issue - the layers dont show when I run through using the timeline play control (ie in the construction preview) on the baseline - but they do show in the Slide Preview - this would seem to be a bug, I'm pretty sure this has worked in previous versions? 

Makes it very awkward to test as you build when the underlying material is a 4 minute video on the slide base line

There is also strange layer behaviour in slide preview too with layers not clearing, or showing up later than they should

I also noticed that the "Hide slide layer when timeline finishes" does not work either, I'm having to use a trigger in the layer to close it on every layer.

I've created several layers on a slide and added triggers for each layer to show up at a specific point in the timeline. This isn't working right in development and isn't showing up in preview. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, since I'm a newbie... just can't seem to figure out what it is.

I would appreciate any help!

Thank you!
