Hello!

Cannot tell specifically why. I suspect is because the animation action does not allow element conditions.

Consider using custom states.

Add a custom state to the page called “visible?” of type yes/no.

Add a condition "only when page’s visible? is “yes” to the animate action

When you want that fg to be visible do not forget to also set the page’s state visible? to “yes”.

This way you fg will animate only when page’s visible? is “yes”

Hope this helps 😃

Showing or hiding an element is _implicit_ (automatic) when animating said element. In other words, if you’re attempting to animate **FloatingGroup A** , there’s no need to set a condition. It will automatically be “shown” when it’s animated “In”. Note the explanatory text in your screenshot, which says, “This animation will show the element at the end”.
