Captions and Variables

Have a look at the attached revised file and see if that works for you. I move the Caption selection button to the master slide so that you don't need to set it on each slide. I also created a custom state 'complete' for the image button that is set correctly even if you set the slide properties to Reset to Initial State. Hope that's what you wanted.

Hey Jonathan -

I'm not seeing a problem. The T/F variable and checkbox should maintain the same logic state, correct? If you want to make sure the checkbox sets to the state of the T/F variable no matter what, use two triggers to change the state of the object based on the value of the variable:

Hey Steve -

Thanks for your comments. I ran your attached file and the issue I'm having is when I return to the Home Page slide after I've viewed the captions, I can't get the captions to "turn off" when I deselect the captions checkbox. Once I select the captions, they are on for good. I need the checkbox to function as a true toggle for the captions.

Hey Michael -

Looked at your example. Not wanting "Click for Captions" option to appear on every slide...only the first one, so adding it to the Master Slide may not be the best option. Also, in looking at the variable list, I can't see that the "Cap" variable is doing anything to the Captions layer on the Image 1 slide.

I like where you are going with this with regard to the "Return to Initial State," but it is not quite what I need.

Ah. I misunderstood the problem. Give this one a shot. Added two triggers to the checkbox each with a condition for the state of the checkbox.

Thanks. I tried this as well, but it would never display the captions. However, I moved the "False" trigger above the "True" trigger and it worked...all from inverting the variable order!

Hmm... shouldn't matter. But if that fixes it, great! There's a problem with the Set Cap true trigger. Looks like it's missing a state reference.
