XD 44 : Not Recognizing Keyboard Triggers

Hi there,

 

I've created a looping time-triggered animation with a series of 4 artboards. I'm trying to add a "Keys and Gamepad" triggered interaction to each of those 4 artboards so that at any point during the auto-animated loop, I can press the "S" key and transition to a different, specific artboard.

 

Strangely, when I preview the project, the animation plays through as intended, however the project does not respond to me pressing the "S" key—that is until I press either the left or right arrow to cycle through static artboards. Then the looping animation effetively stops, but I am able to press the "S" key to transition to the other specified artboard.

 

Please advise! Thank you!

Its difficult to find reason without looking on project. Can you share link to test in browser. Did you try any other key instead "S"?

I did indeed try various keys. Admittedly, this is my first time sharing an XD project, so I hope I'm doing this right. Here is the link: https://xd.adobe.com/view/0b5031b7-d844-4650-b560-626d98abf8c6-5e03/

 

So from the artboard named "Title_card", I hope for users to be able to click "Episodes" which then takes them to the artboard of the same name. This initiates the time-triggered auto-animation between artboards named "Episode" thorugh "Episodes-3".

 

It is during that sequence that I want users to be able to press "S" (or any key, really) to transition to the artboard named "2_Episodes".

 

I eventually want to do the same to transition to other artboards. Let me know if this is clear or if you need more info!

 

Thanks a bunch!

How user get back from "2Episode" into any artboard? It looks only by left or right arrows on keyboards. Is that corroct workflow? 

 

Try to add any object on "Episodes"'s artboards and trigger "S" to 2Episode".
