Character States

Hi all,

I'm working on a module, and the main screen is a hub, where the user views a short screen cast, and when they come back to the main hub, a checkmark will appear next to the item and I'd also like to change the pose and caption for a character.

I've built the character with states for each corresponding item.  I've created the variables that change the check-mark, and am trying to use that same variable to change the state of the character.

This works fine if I view the screen casts in order, but if I don't it doesn't change.

I've attached a screen shot if that's helpful.

I have a feeling that I'm close, and just need to figure out how to program the variables.
