I'm trying to have the user click an object on one slide to select it. And I want that click to trigger a change in a variable that will change the state of an image on the next screen from hidden to normal.
Basically, I want a button that will turn on and off a picture on the next screen. I'm sure it's something stupid I'm not thinking of.
I attached a sample of the interaction I want. Please Help!
I have changed the assignment of your Variable to =Not Assignment that makes the variable toggle so you don't need any conditions and leaves you with only one trigger for the image on the first slide.
Then, on the second slide, the conditions must be looked at when an action takes place. I have modified your triggers so they look at the Variable when the timeline of your slide starts. This is the easiest way to achieve this.
Hope it helps and don't hesitate if you have any questions.
Dan, I think that you are making the variable go in a circle on the first slide which then stop anything from changing. When you're working with variables you can place reference text on the slide which is helpful for tracking exactly what is going on. Here's my example.
Articulate Community strikes again! Thanks for your help Jean. I have never used the toggle effect before. I'm guessing it only works for true/false variables?

Hi Dan,
You were quite near of a solution...

Oh nice Annie, toggle variable. Didn't even know that existed, thanks!

Hi,
@Graham : Yep found that on the forum. Saved me lots of work... and triggers.
@Dan : Indeed, you can only use it with True/False variable. Glad it helped!
Have a nice day!
Annie
