Custom wrapper with menu

Jun 25, 2019

I have a slide out menu built on the master slide with text links, that include a roll-over and visited state. The issue is that the visited state (on click) does not seem to work. I would like the visited state to hold & stay when visiting the other slides in the program. Any suggestions?

Thank You

Hi Tim,

I'd love to help, but we'll need to see your .story file to take a look at how you've set this up. Can you share a copy of the .story file here with folks in the community?

If you need to share privately, send along to our Support Team. They're happy to help too!

Thank you for the reply. This is not completed. I'm just trying to add some placeholder menu items until I need to flesh out the final. Thank you so much for the help.

You'll need to add two triggers and a variable to your master layer for each item you want to remember it's visited state.

Create a true/false variable called INTRO
Add a trigger to set the variable INTRO to TRUE when the user clicks the Introduction text box.
Finally, add a trigger to set the state of the Introduction element to VISITED when the timeline starts for that object IF the variable INTRO=TRUE. This is needed because the master slide resets itself for every slide, over and over. These variables will thus reapply the Visited states as needed since it is recording them outside the master slide itself.
