Page Transition - Initial Conditions

Hi all,

I have prepared an interactive widget for an iBooks project of mine. I am having a problem when initiating a go to page transition.

Page 1 works fine
Page 2 works fine when "Go to Page is selected from Page1"
Page 1 works fine when "Go to Page is selected from Page2"
However Page 2 does not start-up the same way it did on the first run.

Its appears Page 2 does not start-up with the same initial "conditions".

Is there something I am missing at the point of transition? or am I having a problem with Page Did Load?

Can anyone help?

Best,

T

See the documentation:

The key part:

Often used before the user has navigated to a page for the first time; when actions need to occur once per page.

The net result is that navigating back to page 2 will restore the page to the state it was in when last navigated away. If you want something to happen on every appearance, use Page Did Appear.

Does that help?
