I’m having a bit of trouble trying to sort this out: I have eight photos which I have in target show/hide layer action and have added the sequence timer action.

However, there is gap showing between the last photo and the first photo in the loop. I have clicked, “hidden”, “sticky”, “yes”, “indigo” and “no” for target and the Sequence timer is on 1200, “loop”, “on page load”,“indigo” and “top” and all eight triggers clicked.

Is this correct, I must have missed something?  
Sorry can’t show a link as it’s not published yet.

This might help

Note that there is a base image that has no action applied so the others fade in and out on top of it.

Thanks Dave

But when I put in a base image it seems to block the actions.

Are you making all of these images as layers? Make sure that each image has the Layer checkbox ticked in the Inspector.

I’ve uploaded the file so you can see it: [www.schooldaysmagazine.com](http://www.schooldaysmagazine.com) - it’s the first lot of photos on the left, “Featured Articles” not finished yet, but I need to get this sorted out as there quite a lot more to publish today.

Davids method is in fact the recommended and only one.

All that I can imagine is, that your base-image (which is in fact a “static” one) is on top of your stack and therefor overlaying all the others (fading ones).

Weird - but it’s not the action that is broken, it’s just covered by the static one.

So send this to back - a shot in the dark, but convinced not far away from the gist.

Cheers

Thomas

There are javascript errors on that page caused by the Plus One code - try it on a fresh page with nothing else on it.

I’m not sure what you mean by a “static” one? They are all duplicated from the original, but with different photos.

No, no difference, it’s not uploaded on the trial page, but I would have thought that wouldn’t make a difference.

Simple.

If you look at David’s example, the image “treesbase” has no action applied and is therefor not part of the “show/hide/sequence”-stuff - correct?

It is just there to be number 1 visible and will be overlaid by Trees1, Trees2 …

To make this happen, it’s outermost important that “treesbase” is sent to back (which is in David’s example).

Cheers

Thomas
