Editing States of Buttons
Jan 28, 2015
Hello,
I'm having trouble editing states of buttons. In the course I'm doing now, I have buttons with a picture in each. In the Normal state, which is the initial state, I want the pictures to be grayscale. On Hover and Down and Visited, I want them to be full color. I went to the States panel and created a new state for Hover, and planned to duplicate that state for Down and Visited. However, when I change the color on Hover it also changes the color on Normal. I've had the same issue with buttons in other courses, where changing the color of a button in Hover state also changes it in Normal state. When I then try to change Normal state to the way I want, again, it changes all the states. Eventually, I keep trying and it will inexplicably work. It's maddening! Is there a step I'm missing? I've watched the tutorial on states, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Hi Matthew,
I appreciate the input! When this happened the first time, I thought that might be the cause too. But I am most definitely clicking on the "New State" button when creating the Hover state.
I'm going to bookmark this, because suddenly it's working as I'd expect! I tried making a new slide and adding some buttons, and I'm having no trouble with states. So I'm going to go ahead and smile, and thank you very much, Matthew!
Hello Lynn!
Changing the color in a state should only change that state, not the Normal or other states. Can you confirm that you are working locally with your file? If you do come across this issue again, you may want to preform a repair of your Storyline.
Hi Emily,
Yes, I am working locally. Since this is a recurring problem, I performed a Repair as you suggested. I did a quick test, and it looks like it's working as it should be. Thank you!
Thanks for the update Lynn!
