Toggling the same image on and off on multiple slides

Hi all,

I'm using a fairly basic Advanced Action to toggle an image on and off on a slide in my simulation. But the slide in question is basically a legend that the users may want to access at any point in the presentation. When I copy the legend to other slides, it changes the name to something like legend_45 and then keeps incrementing. 

I haven't had any luck with the "Display for rest of project" option, and I'd like to avoid having to add 95 copies of this one image to the Advanced Action panel.

Is there a way to basically tell it to toggle legend*? Or is there some other solution I should go after?

Thanks!

Christian

I would recommend to show it for the rest of the project, always on top. What were the problems that you had with that approach?

Maybe you'll need to make the image hidden On Enter for each slide, but if this is an object you timed for the rest of the project that will be the same advanced conditional action. Did you use this action?

  IF v_visib is equal to 1

      Hide Image

      Toggle v_visib

  ELSE

     Show Image

     Toggle v_visib

v_visib is a user variable (Boolean) with a default value of 0, which tracks the visibility. You can use this same action On Enter for each slide and for the toggle button which you can even place on the master slide if you prefer that to timed for the rest of the project.

A ha!  Your answer gave me a clue -- the problem was that the Rest of Project option was putting the image behind everything else, but you mentioned the Always on Top option. So I Googled and came across what I think is your own blog. (You're a flautist? Fist bump from a tuba player )

I checked that easy-to-miss box and now it works like I expect.

Thanks!

Suspected that to be the case. Indeed, in one of my lifes I was professional flautist, performed mostly in chamber music and did teachfor 25 years. Hope you find my blog useful
