Changing States when key is pressed Jun 01, 2017 By Mike F Scenario: Storyline 2 Shape1 on screen with initial state set to 'Hidden'. Object Trigger - change state of Shape1 to 'Normal' when user presses the 'H' key. Not working. I want to use an object trigger so I can copy/paste object w/triggers to other slides as needed.

Mike F Author Wendy Farmer almost 7 years ago06/01/17 at 3:04 pm (UTC) Thanks Wendy. However, that is the point. I don't want to use it on the slide. I wouldn't be able to reuse the object on multiple slides because the triggers are tied to the slide not the object.
Mike F Author Jeff Forrer almost 7 years ago06/01/17 at 3:04 pm (UTC) Thanks Jeff. I'll look into this. Looks interesting.
