I have a menu bar of 5 buttons and each button loads a different layer, while the previous one disappears.
The problem is that I want the first layer to load when the site is visited. When I set the layer action to “Initially:Visible”, it screws up the stickiness of the other layers.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi bdk - you will hear this reply regularly.
If you can upload your pages(s) so that we can all see your problem with code output set to More Readable and then post a link we will be able to have a proper look and hopefully find your problem.
Much easier than making suggestions blindly.

Ok, go here to see it…

My first layer “under construction” appears when the page loads.
Now click one of the menu bar links to the right. My second layer appears and the first layer doesn’t get hidden because it is set to be “Initially:Visible”.

Experiment with the Sticky and Toggle settings. That’s where you will
make the behavior you want to see happen. Each of the elements needs
to be in the same (color name) channel, and each must have a
different index number. Elements within the same channel will swap
one for another when they are called into view. Initially visible
elements will be hidden in this process, I am pretty sure.

I experimented with all of the settings. All the layers are set to the same Target Group and use different Target numbers.
When the first layer is set to Hidden, everything works like it should, however setting it to Visible screws everything up.

Okay, then try this. Make all of your Target layers have an opaque
background, then set the initially visible one to have a clear
background but don’t put anything in it. Put the “home” content in a
layer which is not part of the show/hide group.
So what happens is the home page content never really disappears. The
other parts of the show/hide group cover it when they are visible,
and when you click on the home button, the home content (which is
just a clear GIF) appears and everything else hides, which causes the
always-there home content to “re-appear”.

Thanks! That is a good idea. I won’t be able to use my fades, but that’s a minor trade off.

No, it should work exactly the way you want it to, with fades.
Remember, fading out an opaque object covering another object is
visually indistinguishable from fading in a hidden object. Try it –
you’ll see!

I wonder if there is a bug then. When I assign my duplicate layer to the #1 mouse click with it initially visible, fades won’t work for any layer that is assigned to that #1 mouse click.
