TIP: the Incredible Power of Invisible Layers
Slide layers are great when you need to show things. But they can also do things—even if they don’t show anything at all.
The attached Storyline file demonstrates 3 possible uses for invisible lay...
They can be used to run triggers at times other than returning to a slide. For example, if you have a bunch of triggers that depend on complicated IF conditions that need to run after a bunch of similar actions. Instead of putting the the triggers on every action, put them all on an invisible self-closing layer, and after each action, show the layer. It is the SL equivalent of what programmers call subroutines. Saves a lot of time, and saves having a lot of triggers on the slide.
So many uses for invisible layers. Thanks, Walt, for making another one visible. I always appreciate having your expertise in any discussion.
