Drag and drop - going messy

Jul 17, 2020

Hi,

I dragged the gear and placed it over step 1, however, the text DRAG ME still appears. 

This makes it look messy. Could you guide me on how to remove this drag me text and making it look neat.

The "drag me" is part of the hover state. 

You change the state of the object to drop correct. But drop correct has nothing in it. So Storyline has a drop correct state with nothing in it and a hover state. And it gets stuck in the hover state, I think because your mouse activates the state quickly and it has nothing to return to.

The video explains it.

I'd just get rid of the drag me text since you already have instructions. But if you don't want to, I think you need to place a transparent shape in the drop correct state so that it doesn't confuse the mouseover effect.
