Show action not working properly

[Sissou21]

Hello,

I have a slide with 6 buttons each of them supposed to reveal a text caption. It works on the first button but not on the following ones. Do you know if there is a max number of show actions on one slide?

thanks

No limitation at all. You have to give some more details however:

1. Which version do you use?
2. How did you set up the 'buttons' and the 'text captions'? Each interactive object (like a button) has a pausing point (look at the symbol in the timeline). If you use a simple 'Show' command, you have to uncheck the 'Continue Playing the Project' or the playhead will be released. That is possible in CP9 and later.

I mostly use a multistate object in this case.

Another thought... are the captions overlapping or in the same spot?

If upper layer items are not hidden as a new one is revealed, stuff that is revealed underneath them would not show.
