Reset the Slider thumb to initial state
Hello everyone,
I am having an issue with the thumb of the slider not starting at the very beginning when I revisit the slide. So let’s say I move the thumb to the middle of the track, then I go to another slide and when I come back to the slide with this slider, the thumb is still in the middle, not the beginning. The actual slide is set to “Reset to initial state”, so basically the audio restarts, but that’s about it. It’s a weird experience to have all the elements on the slide reset to initial state except for this thumb. If you have any advice on how to fix this issue please let me know. Thanks so much!!

Never mind. I figured it out :)
Thanks Yanna for the update and glad you were able to figure it out. :-)
I'm having the same issue with 2 of 3 slides based on same template. Can you let me know how you fixed it? Thanks!
Because the slider is tied to a variable, the slider does not reset when the slide resets. If you have to reset the slider, then you need to set the variable.
I have the same problem and try to figure out what the variable and trigger should look like in order for the thumb to go back to initial state when revisiting the slide. I have set the base layer (and all the slide layers) to initial state and I have the latest version of SL2. Can anyone please give some advice on the variable and trigger settings?
Hi Maria
see the attached sample helps you
Hi Wendy, thank you for your quick support. I have tried your suggestion but it still doesn't work. The thumb is still in the position I left it when I last visited the slide. When I made a test with your sample, adding a new slide after yours and went back to your first slide, your thumb did not either move to its initial place as fas as I could see. Does it work for you?
Hi Maria
I added in another slider slide and updated the triggers - see if this is what you need. Sorry I misunderstood first time, I thought you wanted it to retain what you had moved it to - my mistake.
Perfect Wendy, I figured it out too.. when I changed the trigger to set the value to 0 (which was my starting point for my slider) it worked fine. Thank you for reaching out to help me. Much appreciated!! Have a nice Sunday :-)
Glad you sorted it out Maria...sadly my Sunday is almost over (I'm in Australia) - enjoy yours!
