Slider process interaction with layers

Hi David

the object name is Slider 1 (timeline) and the variable reference is Slider 5 (design tab) - see image below. You need to make sure you are referencing the correct variable in your triggers

Perfect! Thanks again 

Hello! I'm also having Slider problems. I attached my project with a description of the problem, but here it is again:

I’d like the learner to be able to use the slider (on the base layer) to choose a scene – an office (sub layer 1) or a waiting room (sub layer 2). Based on the scene they’re on, I’d like to deliver content. Easy enough, right?

My problem is I’d like to use the same slider on the base layer for the sublayers so the learner doesn’t get stuck on a sub-layer; I’d like them to go to the office layer if they’re on the waiting room, and vice versa.

How do I refer to the base layer's slider (SLDR Scene Change) on the sub-layers without having ALL the stuff from the base layer (which has the initial slider on it) on the sub-layers? Currently, the sub-layers have their own sliders – SLDR office and SLDR Waiting Room. Ideally, I’d like them all to refer to and use SLDR Scene Change.

Also, the slider’s thumb doesn’t seem to move from layer to layer. I’d like the slider to reflect the step it’s on – 1 for the office or 3 for the waiting room.

Thanks for any help!

David,

Thanks for your timely response and awesome project! This is exactly what I'm looking to do, but for some reason I can't choose my Base Layer as a Show Layer choice; FYI: "Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer." is unchecked in my Slide Layer Properties.

I also see you have a single slider that's in the same place on the base layer and each sub-layer; that's my ideal set-up, but the slider on my base layer doesn't show up on my sub-layers. I don't know if it's buried somewhere or what, but I can't find it. If I hide all my sub-layer stuff, I can see it (since I'm not choosing to hide the Base Layer stuff), but I can't put it on top of the sub-layer stuff.

Unfortunately, what I *think* I might have to do is redesign the slide (which has TONS of shapes put together to build an office or waiting room scene) and make the base layer's slider visible on each layer. I also need to redesign the base layer so I can cover up the base layer stuff the learner shouldn't see when they're on a sub-layer. Wow this sounds complicated and time-consuming...that's why I swear I'm missing something.

Thanks again! I'll be really bummed if I need to scrap this idea altogether. 

Thanks to David's help and some tinkering of my own, I think I solved this problem. If you're interested, check out my sample file below.

First you'll see my original problem, and then you'll see my solution as well as some explanatory text. If this helps anyone in any way, I'd like to share! 

Thanks! 

Hello,

I have a slider interaction. I have attached the file. What I need to achieve is, when the learner drags the slider as shown in the base layer (The choice 3.1)...as the learner drags the slider slowly along the track, the layer Belgen should wipe in. Also as the slider is dragged along the track to the left, the base layer should appear like as if the belgen layer wipped off to show the base layer. In the SL file, Sc2 is just my various attempt to create the effect but unsuccessful.

Thanks

Hello,

In support of my above query, I am adding a .flv to show you what I want to achieve.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a similar problem as the initial one above, followed the instruction videos and still couldn't manage to make it work. Thank you in advance.

I want to show each layers when the slider moves.

Slider info:
Variable: myApp
Update: When slider is dragged
Start:1
End: 4
Initial: 1
Step: 1

Layers:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5

Triggers:
Show layer "Step 1"
when "myApp" moves
If its value = value "1"

-- so on for "Step 2" and value "2".....

Show layer "Step 1"
When the "timeline starts" on this slide

Please see attached file.
Thank you so much!!

Hello! Can anyone help me restart the timeline on my layers so that the slider interaction can loop indefinitely? At the moment it only works once, then the animates fade and wont reappear when the slider moves again. Sorry, I feel this is obvious but my brain mustn't be working. or is there a way to do this using states that has a nice fade?

Hi Libby,

I would love to help you with your issue, but I have a follow-up question for you. What is the end result you would like with this slider? Do you want the text to fade in and stay on the screen until the user moves the slider?

Looking forward to your response!
