Hi! I am having some trouble with a parent scene. This scene is a crawling ticker. The parent scene gets the data for the ticker from each child scene. When I put the parent scene online, it functions how I want it to, but when I take it offline, the child data lines(text) maintain on the screen for longer than they should. I have tried adding transition logic to both the parent and child scenes, tried scripting to trigger the children offline on the parent scenes “off” scene director, and tried a similar script on the child scenes “off” scene director. If you have any tips or solves to this problem please let me know.

It depends on the type of animation you want to take the text off but the easiest way it to have a mask in the parents scene that animates across and covers the text.

Things to note, the mask needs to be NOT in a layer object so it should appear black in your parent scene and it should be on a high Z position that text in order to cover it up.
