Avatar issue

Hi all, I'm working on a scenario which allows the learner to choose their own avatar (storyline character). I used this article as my guide and it has worked great except for one thing. When a slide begins, there is a millisecond where the character appears in its "normal" state before it changes to the selected character. I have attached a stripped back example to show you what I mean. 

Thank you!

    They change and show the avatar before the jump to the next slide. Since the timeline sets the state of the avatar on each layer when it begins, I don't think you need these triggers.
