Replay button does not replay entire slide
I have a Storyline slide with 6 layers. There's the base layer, then 5 layers that 'show' when the user clicks a graphic icon on the base layer. When I let the slide play through to the end, then click Replay, it replays the 'show' action and plays the audio of the first layer while all other layers remain showing on the screen. It doesn't go back all the way to the beginning of the timeline.
Set the slide and layer properties to reset to initial state
I'm having this same issue too and already have them set to initial state.
In most cases (but not all), my slide is linear in nature, each layer triggering the next layer.
In an attempt to make the play/pause and replay work across all layers, I've chosen the following settings:
- Player: seekbar is play only (if there's a way to make the seekbar display the base layer timeline instead of an active layer, I'd prefer drag after completion)
- Base Layer: reset to initial state
- Layers: Allow seeking - yes
- Layers: Reset to initial state
Results:
- The play/pause is now working.
- The seekbar looks silly since it's only the length of the current layer, not the full slide
- Replay is replaying only the layer that matches the seekbar
To HoneyTurner: I will try it that way, too, to see which solution works best for my customer. What I did is remove the layers and put everything on the base layer timeline. Luckily my content was not so complex that this solution would not work.
Thank you. I have, but it does not fix the issue I'm having.
if you set the seekbar on the layers to know it will display the base layer
I will try that. Thank you.
Does your story include any variables that change during the initial playthrough? You may need to re-initialize these.
There are no variables.
