Can't toggle a single button between states?

Give the button a Normal state and a Selected state. When you do that, it will automatically toggle between those states when clicked—without any triggers.

You can also "Toggle" a T/F variable; just change "Set" to "Toggle." 

Bert,

Good call.; That's exactly what it's doing, and not many people figure it out on their own. Follow Judy's suggestion, although there are other less efficient, less elegant , more difficult ways to do the same thing.

I'm working on this and still failing.

My buttons will be on a Master Slide, so I've figured out to change variables and have variable listeners to turn things on and off.

But the button-state seems to change, then immediately change back when the jump to the appropriate slide happens.  Attachment shows simple test case.  Your help appreciated! 

Sorry, the published file is no help. To really know why it is doing what it is doing, we need to look at the .story file.

As Walt said, it's best to upload a .story file for troubleshooting. (And, when you want to show how something looks when published, it's best to publish it to Review and provide the link.)

Based on your description, I'd say the button is working as expected. When you jump to a slide for the first time, it starts from scratch (that is, the equivalent of "Reset to initial state"). So the button is reverted to its initial state, which is Normal. 

Since you want the button on the Master, you need to handle it a bit differently, as shown in the attached demo.

• Button trigger toggles the T/F variable (as described in my original comment). 
• Another trigger on the Master changes the state of the button to Selected when the timeline starts, with the condition that the variable = True. This keeps the Selected button in that state when the user jumps to a new slide.

Thank you both Walt and Judy.
Let me work with your suggestions and see if that solves my issues,
and if I do need to ask you to look at something else, I'll upload a .story
file!

FYI: It you have another issue, it's best to start a new discussion. That will help others when they're searching for answers.

It's also a good idea, because someone who answers a given post won't necessarily return to it. (Yeah, you can put "@" in front of someone's name. But that doesn't actually tag them in the way it would on other social media sites. A person has to "subscribe" to a post to get notified about it.)

Got it, thanks!

Thanks, Bert, for the inspiration. I figured others might have a similar situation, so I posted a tip about this topic: TIP: Master Toggling On and Off - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes. 

• It includes an updated demo file with some extra triggers to ensure the button will appear in the correct state no matter how the Slide Properties are set for revisiting.
• That demo also includes an example of how to use the T/F variable to control an object on the slide. 

Awesome! Nice work. Thanks Judy.
