Delaying a hover state

May 03, 2016

Good morning!

I have a slide with three icons. Each has a "hover" state, so that it glows when the mouse hovers over it. Now the client does not want the icons to glow until AFTER the audio has completed. This seems pretty simple, but I'm stumped. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Shel,

Do you want all three icons to hover at the same time once the audio has completed?

If so you can great a disabled state the same as normal state which wont allow the user to activate the over. Right to control when it is allowed to work create a trigger to say, CHANGE STATE of Icon 1,2 & 3 to NORMAL when MEDIA COMPLETES then pick the audio file on that page.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice, Stephen! I'm just trying to figure out how to prevent the hover from happening when the user hovers over the disabled state. I have created a trigger to change the state of the icon to NORMAL when the media completes, but the glow still executes when the mouse hovers over the disabled state

Here ya go Shel,  

I placed an fully transparent box atop the buttons until 50sec. Any transparent object will block items underneath, This includes videos, webObjects and the like. Strategic placement of a transparent object can be utilized as safegaurds for a variety of purposes. Hope this helps.
