    Hello timgrice​ 
    The explanation is quite simple. With what you've set up, you display the “Crystal” layer the first time you click on “More” in the “Uncrystallized funfs...” rectangle, and the animation plays. But on this layer, you can make the other layers appear WITHOUT MASKING this one. In this way, it is always “displayed” but hidden by the others. When you call it up from another layer, it simply “reappears over the others”, but without replaying its chronology, and therefore without replaying its animation. Am I clear? You need to “hide” it before you can “display” it again. Look in your (modified) attached file at the “Crystal” layer: 3 more triggers to hide the layer NB: there's a way of simplifying the whole screen, I think. I hope I've helped you.

Don't hesitate to ask! I'm sure you'd get plenty of answers, but it's still early days in other parts of the world. And mark it as resolved (if it is), so maybe it will be of use to someone else looking for an “answer”. Good luck with the rest.
