For some reason, my screen automatically goes back to the base layer if I've created a hotspot for hovering on an element on the layer above the base layer. I'm working inside a Process Interaction template with the step layers. It works okay if I select the action for the user to click but goes back to base layer if I use the action hover. Anybody know what the problem may be?
Is that hover action supposed to "show another layer" when hovered over? If so.. then that explains why. It will automatically hide the layer and once layer is hidden it defaults back to showing the base layer. I hope that made sense.. it's a little tough to explain.
If it were me.. I'd start looking into working with:
1. States - customize a hover state for the object
2. Lightbox - you can still get to have this appear when they mouse over.. they just have to manually click on the Exit button.
If you're set on using the layer, see if unchecking the checkbox "Restore on Mouse Leave" works for you.. this will make sure that it stays on the layer you intended to show even if you are not hovering over the object anymore. In this case.. you just create button in that layer to go back to the other layer you were on.

Thanks. Yes, I think I understand what you're saying. Is there a way that I can create a hover that won't revert to the base layer?

Thanks Donna - is there a good tutorial on the site that addresses how to create customized states for hovers?
I am not sure if these are the best tutorials..but it should give you a starting point.
