Hide In Turn Action

image\Action_Hide_In_Turn.jpg

This option is used to hide the last object displayed in a Show In Turn action. Both the Show In Turn and Hide In Turn actions are often used to create presentation screens. The options available in this action are the same as those for the Show In Turn action.

Setting up the Hide In Turn action:

1. Add the Hide In Turn action to your trigger, as described in adding actions. The Hide In Turn tab will automatically appear when you add the action.

Note:
The Right Mouse Click trigger is often used for this action, although any trigger can be used.

2. At the top of the Hide In Turn tab is the Object List. If you want to hide objects in the same order as they were displayed with a Show In Turn action, click on the down arrow to the right of the Name box. This will display all the previously created Object Lists.

3. Select the name of the Object List you require or use the current name in the Name box if you want to create a new list.

4. The order in which the objects are hidden is the same as the objects position in the Object List. Select an object from the Object List, and then click on the Up or Down buttons to move an object up or down one position in the list.

Note:
Tick the Random order option if you want to hide the objects in the list in a random order until it has finished hiding all of the objects.

5. Click on the Change page when all done checkbox if you want a different page displayed when all the objects have been hidden on screen. By default the Change to: field contains the <Backward>preset option. Click on the down arrow to the right of the Change to: box to select a different preset option or page name from the list.

6. Click on the Apply button to save your changes.

You can have more than one Object list for each page and each list could hide different objects.

Each time you activate this action’s trigger, one object will be hidden from the list. The next time you press the action’s trigger, the next object from the list is hidden, and so on, until all objects have been hidden.
