Using Transitions & Actions together
January 30, 2007 12:00 AM
I have a perplexing issue. I'm creating a presentation, and I'm trying to take a screen print image, then "highlight" secitons on it with yellow boxes and text. Basically, it's the age old "Show this box and text, then after so long hide those 2 and show THIS box & text", etc.I currently have it setup with 3 boxes and 3 text boxes. I have all of them set to "Initially Visible" and "Always on Top" (otherwise they never show), then I have the following setup:Box 1/Text box 1: Transition in at 1.0 sec, Transition out at 5.0 sec.Box 2/Text box 2: Transistion in at 7.0 sec, Transition out at 11.0 sec. ACTION set (one action for box, one for text box) that "On Show, Hide, Box 1/text box 1" with no delay.Box 3/Text box 3: Transistion in at 13.0 sec, Transition out at 17.0 sec. ACTION set (same as above) "On Show, Hide, Box 2/Text box 2"When I run it, they all "Transition in" just fine. The problem arises when box/text 2 transition in, box/text 1 do not transition out until after box/text 3 have transitioned in, then box/text 2 don't transition out for another 15 seconds or so.I hope this makes sense, because I'm absolutely baffled where the problem is - I've checked everything I can think of to check, and it seems to be out of sequence and off timing, but I'm just not able to pinpoint WHY.Thanks!!!
