I'm following this tutorial to change the expression of a character on a button trigger and the List of Expressions does not appear on my Trigger box when I select the Character, as it does in the video. What am I doing wrong. Here's my box:

Based on your screenshot, it looks like you have a photographic character on your slide. As far as I know, the expression states used in the tutorial are only available for ILLUSTRATED characters.
Hi Deb! Looks like Michael is taking care of you here. Just let us know if you need anything further.
That was the problem, which I figured out. But why is this? I need to use photographic characters. It seems there is a way to use states with photographic characters. Is that a workaround?
you can use states there are just no built in states like there are in the illustrated characters
Hi, Deb: With the photographic characters, you'll need to manually create a new state--e.g., "shocked," "casually contemplating Infinity" and so on. Just head on down to the timeline, click on edit states, and there's a button down there for creating new states. Then you'd just insert the character with the pose/expression you want.
