I'm trying to create an interaction using the trigger feature as follows.
The user drags the object over one of four textboxes.
Each textbox would reveal its separate layer when dragged over.
The textbox would (optionally) return to the original layer when user drags object away from that layer.
This feature is different from the Mouse Hover, as the user has to move one object over another object to show each layer.
I can't get the layers to return to the original layer when the user drags the object away; instead, the layer gets stuck being revealed and no other objects respond to the triggered interaction.
Wow, Wendy, thanks for the quick reply this holiday weekend.
Actually I would like to be able to drag an object without dropping it into a slot. The dragged object would be like a magnifying glass to see the other layers when hovered over.
I have had a go...I stripped out your triggers and have only done triggers on the first two head to test. I also slightly redirected the magnifying glass as the drag action to get to Head 1 quite often dropped on Head 2 first...This may not suit you at all but might give you some ideas.
You really know how to use variables! I guess the only way to hide the layer is to have the button, as you have shown. I was thinking it would have been possible without variables but I'm out of ideas. I might shrink the size of the magnifying glass so it won't interfere with other objects, but I'm grateful for your input. I learned some new ways to implement variables. Thank you :)

Hi Kyada
here is a sample based on what I think you want...always hard when we don't see what you are trying to achieve

If you notice anything strange about my file, please let me know. It seems to be larger than yours for some reason, when it should be smaller.
