Problem with triggers on layers not working right
I'm having a problem with triggers on my layers not working right. If I duplicate a layer and then go in and make some trigger changes on the new layer, the new triggers don't work right, they revert back to those on the "original" layer. If I copy the entire new layer into a new slide, everything works right. Any ideas or suggestions? I suppose I can just stop using the layers feature but I'm hoping there is a better solution. Additionally, a quiz that is marked as return to initial state when revisiting isn't resetting.

Do you mean that when I choose the incorrect answer and click TRY AGAIN, the slide is not resetting then? In other words, do you want the slide to reset when you click TRY AGAIN on the b or c layers?
If that is the case, then the trigger on the try again layers should be to Jump to THIS slide, rather than Hide layer. As it is, it doesn't reset because the user doesn't leave the slide, therefore it does not count as 'revisiting'.
You could also just have another trigger on layers b and c to change the state of all radio buttons to Normal.
I'm talking about all the radio buttons should be blank when revisiting. I've added another quiz slide I developed recently that had no problems and I can't figure out the difference. If you take a look at slide 1.2 it does it correctly, so why doesn't 1.1?
Because 1.1 doesn't have the triggers required to turn the radio buttons back to Normal, like 1.2 has:
The problem here isn't "revisiting". The user is not revisiting the slide when they click Try again; they are only hiding the layer, so if you want something to change on the base layer, then you need triggers. Slide 1.2 has the correct triggers on the Try again layer. 1.1 should have those triggers on Choice C and Chuck Hint layers.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this!
No worries Karan, we got there in the end!
