I have created a drop down menu in the master slide. When presenting the menu choices I have no problem using different types of states. Se enclosed file.
However, I also wish to use a state (Active) in the main menu to show that the active choice/slide is connected to that menu. I can't figure out how to solve this. Is there someone that could give me some tips?
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually solved it after a good nights sleep. The problem was that the triggers didn't work when: Times line starts OR Variable changes. However, when created a que point 0,1 seconds in to the production the variable is read and I achieve what I wanted. Se the enclosed updated version.
Thanks Madeleine for the update and sharing the updated file - that may certainly help someone else who stumbles upon this thread. The "when variable changes" trigger is a tricky one, as it's looking for the variable to change at that moment - so if you've changed it just prior on another slide say slide A, the trigger will not execute on the next slide B. If you need any other help, please let us know.

Hello!
Try to change main menu option state when its layer appears, and change it back when you hide the layer.
