Can you change the state of a hot spot once it's been visited?

Jun 26, 2014

I know that in view mode, a hot spot is invisible.  But if you have multiple hot spots on one page and you want to be able to show the users what they've already clicked on, can you change the state of the hot spot to be a visible color or shade?

I kinda figured there was no way to change the state of a hot spot seeing how the edit states button was disabled when I clicked on the hot spot.  I was hoping there was a way to trick articulate into thinking that each hotspot was it's own object.  But now that I know what you've told me, it's helped me to look at my project with a different approach.

Instead of a hotspot you could use a transparent object, which then allows you to use the object's built-in states.
