I want to drag an object. I first hover to read the content. The learner will then drag the object to the correct location. When "selected" and dragging, the object is "glowing" (new state) --- however, I want that "hover" content state to go away when the learner drags.
Appreciate advice on how to get rid of the hover state with the object is dragging.
If you are using the built in Hover state, this is working as designed. Since the mouse is still hovering while it is being dragged, the hover state will remain until the item is dropped.
Thank you. This makes sense. I guess I will need to find another way to set this activity up. I don't like the hover content showing when the object drags because it seems to interfere with the drop target.
I can see that being an interference. There might be a way to have the hover state go away if you use custom states, and possibly have them click the item before dragging. I will have to play with a file to test.
I am sure if others in the community know of a way to do this they will add some ideas as well.
Thanks for the additional thoughts, Emily. I decided to just place a button under each object and place the content on a layer - this way the learner can easily open and close the layer without any text interfering with the drop target. I think it tends to clutter up my slide a bit, but I could not think of any other work around.

Thanks for the update Terra,
Glad you have found a workaround for now :)
