Restarting a Progression Interaction
Hi all, I have another issue where I am stumped: The following images show a progression interaction where the learner has to click steps 1-6 to reveal a list on the left. For step 1, there is an image that appears below the text and when they click on step 2 I had to insert a white rectangle to block it so step 1 stays on the screen but step 2 isn't overlayed on top of the image. Obviously this is because each step is a layer and I need the text of each step to stay on the screen as the learner clicks through each one. Each step also has audio. My SME wants learners to be able to click through each step again if they want to hear a certain one or if they want to see that pic again. How do I do this? Right now if the learner clicks step 1 all that shows up is the pic and it appears over the other steps as you can see in the attached screenshot. tysm!

I suggest you rethink the layout.
Because the text of the steps builds on the screen, I suggest putting those text blocks on the base layer. Give each one an Initial State of Hidden.
Change their states to Normal when the associated numbered button is clicked.
The numbered buttons could still show layers. That's where the audio can be. Put a trigger on each layer to hide the layer when its timeline ends. Set the Slide Layer Properties to "Reset to initial state" so the audio will replay when the associated button is re-clicked. Also be sure those properties are set to hide other layers. That will stop any audio that is still playing.
The leaves the problem of the step-1 image. The slide simply doesn't have enough room to include it + text + buttons. You might want to put it on a separate layer accessed via a separate "see image" button. The layer should also have a "Close" button to hide the layer. That would let the user show/hide the image as needed.
Yes Judy!!! This is what I needed!!! I couldn't think of the best way to do this and was having ID block! I had told my SME it was likely going to be a problem having the image reappear since there is not enough room on the screen. Thank you again for your answer!
You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 😊
