Hi, this is driving me nuts! I have a looping rotating animation on my Main timeline and I want to add another image that appears on a second timeline when a button is directed to Start that timeline. This works briefly but the second image flicks off after a few seconds and I have to press the button again. Things get worse when I try to fade that second image in!
I’m sure I’m missing something basic here on my timeline set-up. I have looked at the demo available on controlling a second timeline but that doesn’t help.
Any ideas welcome.
a document would be a good thing to share also. so we can see what’s happening.
I would probably move the looping action to its own timeline so that you’re not restarting the main timeline. You can start any timeline from the Main timeline by adding a “timeline action” in the timeline window. (I suspect you know this as you’ve “looped” an animation using this approach)
Thanks for the reply - I have solved it now by adding Start Timeline action on the Main Timeline and Got to Time in Timeline in the separate timeline. Plus I have added a separate button to control the second animation.
so we can see what’s happening.
