Variables and Layers

Hi Katherine

This is how I think of it and I may be way off base - When you click button 6 and the layer appears / then you close the layer you haven't actually restarted the slide timeline. You are on the base layer and have made a popup show/hide.

I find variables a much easier way to control what is happening.  I always put my variable on the slide %allvisit% when I am testing so I can see exactly when the variable changes so I can make sure the triggers work.  Trigger order is also important.

Here is a link to some info on how triggers are executed

Sorry I couldn't explain it better.
