Button text

Hi Kathryn

Can you share the story file or even just the slide

Curious, why are you using the disabled state? You have to create a trigger to change the state to disabled when the object is clicked, right?

Have you tried adding a trigger to hide the button when clicked?

Hi Tom! I liked the idea of the outline of the button still surrounding my text, which is why I went with a state change with no fill and deleting that text. I specifically chose "disabled" because "visited" allows the button to fill back in after clicking, which is not preferred.

I am sure there's a better way to achieve what I'm going for, but the main question of why the text is showing as deleted in my states editor but then not when I preview the slide is still something I am interested in learning, as it'll probably help me make better decisions about states in the future.

Thanks!

Hi there,

The issue is in slide 1.4, Miscellaneous uses of commas. Thank you!

Hi Kathryn

As per what Matt mentioned above I cut and pasted the visited state to the disabled state and it works to remove the ? mark.  See this peek of what I did

Thanks, everyone! Wendy, I was able to accomplish what you and Matt suggested, but it doesn't preserve the outline of the button that I'd intended to preserve. I think I just need to learn more about what functions are the best to use in certain situations. I am glad to know that it wasn't a serious misunderstanding on my part about how states are intended to work.

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for the response! I will certainly be spending some time reading through your blog!

Hi Kathryn 

you can edit the states and change the shape outline /weight if you need to.
