Change state of button not working

hello Tex (love that name!!)

I'm assuming you're showing the layer with Button 2 at some point, even though I don't see a trigger in your screenshot.

Any way you could post a couple of slides with this behavior?

Hi Brian

See slides attached.

I can't explain it, but I went back to the trigger set up in your original screenshot and it seems to be working for me (attached).

Also, you may have a preference for not doing it this way, but you can save a trigger by setting the initial state of a button to disabled.

Thanks Brian, I tried disabling the button both ways and it still didn't work.

Anyway, your sample works fine.  I shall reinstall Storyline again and restart my computer and see if I get any joy.  Many thanks again for your speedy help.

I don't see why it's not working - does seem like a bug. I just moved everything on that layer to a new slide and it works fine that way (copied and grouped your background image so you still get the fade effect, or you could do it with a slide transition).

Although I was getting 'can't run javascript' errors in preview, which is interesting when there appears to be no javascript >.<

Very strange Erin.  I didn't get the javascript errors in preview.  I created a completely new slide in a new Storyline project and it still didn't work for me.  Thanks for your feedback.  I'll uninstall storyline and start again.

Was the new slide JUST this text/button element that's on the new layer, or the whole slide? I'm just thinking it's misbehaving BECAUSE it's on a layer - not that it's any excuse, there's still no reason for it not to work. But moving the text field and button out of the layer and into a new slide worked for me.

Hope the reinstall helps though!

Thanks for your input Erin.  

Brian, I had a brainwave yesterday!! I installed the December 19 version (3.35.21017.0) and now everything works perfectly as before.  Whatever was done to the latest February update appears to be the problem I was having.  

Because of this, I am unable to update Storyline and will have to continue working with the older version.  

Aside from this, I also noticed that when you use the built in graded questions, the Check boxes/Radio buttons are much too close to the question words, consequently you either have to create your own or insert a space between the Check box and the Question.  Is it possible to adjust this?  In the Classic mode this was never an issue.

I am still enjoying using 360 and everything you/team continually do to help us is greatly appreciated.

The question words or the answer words?

I always add a left indent on all my quiz answers because I don't like the spacing, how close the text sits to the checkboxes/radio buttons

If the answers are too close to the question, you can fix it by setting up the slide master. I always do this for every course I start because I don't like the default content positions!

Sorry Erin, I meant the answers (brain is a little frazzled at the moment !). 

I will take your suggestion and set up the slide master in future. I need a holiday now!!!!

Tex, glad you've narrowed down the problem... 

I'm not on staff for Articulate, I'm a customer just like you.

You'll want to submit a case with the Articulate support team so that they can look into whatever was done in the latest update to make your project work incorrectly - https://articulate.com/support/contact/case

Thanks Brian - just submitted a case.

Good luck!!
