Storyline Slider/Layer hiccup
I'm using a slider (vertical) to show 12 different layers on top of a base layer. Each layer has a video. When the slider is moved one "notch" at a time everything works great. The layer changes, videos stop, and the new layer video begins playing. However, if I quickly drag the slider from the bottom to the top or top to bottom, a bunch of the layers will start playing all at once. You can only see the layer where the slider is positioned but you can hear all of the other layers. If you move the slider nothing changes except the layer you can see. Everything continues to play. For some reason it seems like it's not getting the command to hide everything. I've tried all kinds of triggers to try and get the media to stop playing but haven't found anything that works yet.

I found a solution. Rather using when slider moved I used when variable changes using the slider variable. Then on each layer I had to have a trigger to close each layer when the timeline started on the layer that's supposed to be playing. This way no matter how fast you move the slider and change the variable, it has a trigger that will cause all the other layers to stop no matter what.
MikeMohr: FYI, the "Update" dropdown lets you choose when the variable changes. The default is to constantly update the variable "When slider is dragged." But you can set it so the variable doesn't change until the learner releases the slider.
