Changing States on Mouse Over
Oct 01, 2012

Hello,
I read some past posts on a similar issue, but the discussion doesn't seem to adress my particular issue. I have two text boxes and a button on a frame. The initial state of "Text Box A" is normal. The initial state of "Text Box B" is hidden. I created 2 triggers with a mouse over of the button. Trigger one changes Box A to become hidden. Trigger two changes Box B to normal. I have them both set to restore on mouse leave. When the mouse leaves the button, Box B disappears (as desired). However, Box A does not reappear. Can anyone explain how to have Box A reappear in the situation I described? Fundamentally, I want the two boxes to toggle with the mouse over.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike change to hidden might not return to normal on mouse out (never tried but there may be a bug here), You could probably achieve this using a layer instead and hiding the object on your base layer on the layer timeline, this would allow the toggle and would need less triggers (just show layer)
Good Afternoon, Mike.
In your situation, since the trigger is hiding the button, the button can no longer receive trigger commands. This may or may not be desirable behavior, and the Articulate Quality Assurance Team has it on their radar to evaluate this functionality.
Phil's solution is perfect. Some others as well:
Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks!
Thanks for the responses, Phil and Justin.
Just had a similar issue with Normal State restore after hover and came up with a solution off of a tangent on this thread. Thought I would share. Very happy with the way this performs...take a look.
Nice work, Tim. This works great!
