Animation is states
Oct 14, 2019
Hi everyone!
I think the easiest way to ask this is to start with what I'm trying to do, how I attempted to do that, and then what is not working.
What I want to happen is when the user to clicks on a button, wording appears along with the sound of writing. Afterwards, I want the writing to remain while the user clicks on other buttons
How I attempted to accomplish this was to change the state of the button to Disabled after it was clicked. The Disabled state has the writing animated with a slow wipe from the left while the sound plays. I chose Disabled as the preferred state because when I had it on "visited" state the sound would repeat.
The problems.
First, although the animation is clearly set to by paragraph, all objects appear at once (as demonstrated when you click on "Date and Time" as well as "Address of Signing Party."
Second, and more disturbing, when I publish the slide, no animation happens at all. The words just appear with the sound.
What am I doing wrong? Is it a bug? Is there a better way to accomplish all these things (sound, writing, and the writing stays even when user clicks other buttons)

Greetings, Rachael. I'm happy to help investigate both problems!
To make sure I'm on the same page first, does this Peek 360 recording capture the animation issues you see on your end? Also, are you experiencing this in any particular browser?
Let me know, and we'll work on our next steps from there!
Well, I hadn't considered different browsers. So Yes, the Peek animation shows how it is supposed to work. And when I went to my original link and opened it deliberately in Google Chrome, the animation worked there as well. But it doesn't work in Explorer. Is there a way that I can make it play appropriately regardless of which browser the end user uses?
The other piece is that I wanted the animation to come in by paragraph for the "Date and Time" as well as for "Address". So it would look like one continuous writing.
"07/01/2018" would come in first and then "13:00".
"123 Mystery Lane" would come in first and then "Mystery, WA 98801"
Make sense?

Wipe is not supported in IE and Edge as they do not support masking animations in HTML5
Hi Rachael,
I wanted to pop in and share the documentation for the information that Phil mentioned above.
It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.
Thank you Leslie :)
Good to know!
