Object on layer visible on base layer - on purpose!
KarenWicks-029a: The attached file has some alternates. For all versions, the Info is on a layer. They all work in varying degrees; a lot depends on when the user clicks to show the info.
I think the first one is the best. It uses a button that shows/hides the Info layer and that toggles a T/F variable. All the Slide Layer Properties are set to hide the other layers. But the other layers also have triggers to show the Info layer if the variable = True.
The other two versions just show stuff I tried until I got the idea for version 1. 😊
You could locate the box on the base layer in an area that is visible under or next to the layer that you are adding. One of property settings can be used to hide your base layer, but if you do not do this, it can be accessed as long as it is still visible.
You could also add a shape or slide background that covers the base layer and then copy and paste the box of helpful hints. Storyline will allow you to use the same triggers even though they are on a different layer or on the base layer.
You could also set an object to be hidden. Then add a trigger to make the object normal once the learner clicks a button.
