Disappearing buttons and hover state suggestions

Sep 23, 2014

Hi, all.

The built in hover states for buttons don't allow me to remove the base text on a button, so I created a custom state that changes the button  shape and displays an image instead of text when you hover over it. These buttons appear all throughout my project.

Unfortunately, I'm getting really buggy results with them in both Storyline1 and 2. Individual buttons will randomly disappear at different times (both during preview and publish). From what I've read here, this is probably happening because I'm not using the built-in hover states.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can either fix the disappearing issue or mimic this look using the intended hover function?

Here is a quick snapshot of what I'd like the hover to do:

Thank you!

Hello Jeana, and welcome to Heroes!

You can edit the built in states. When you select the shape, click on Edit states and when you select the built in Hover state, you can change the shape, color, effects, and insert pictures, and change the text. 

Here is tutorial on how to work with built in states.

You could also attach your .story file here with the paperclip icon if you would like us to take a look.

Let us know if you need anything else.
