Hi, I've created a drag n drop free form but strangely enough 1 item is behaving strangely. I've spent hours trying to figure out but to no avail. Could you kindly help?
It's slide number 1.7 and the item is "AND". It does not snap back to its original position when dropped outside the required area, although when dropped in the right area it disappears as it is meant to do. All the others seem fine. Thanks very much.
based on FormView - all drops should be on 'Contrast' for correct response? Contrast is Pic 1 and your trigger for AND is on Pic 2 unless I misunderstand your setup
Hi Wendy, "AND" should drop on picture 2 NOT pic 1. It ought to be 'hidden' but for some reason the triggers don't work on 'AND', FURTHERMORE' and 'MOREOVER'. These words do not disappear as they should. I have attached a screenshot. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Maybe I'm confused - Isn't Pic 2 ADD - so in the form view you have the AND correct on CONTRAST which is Pic 1 and Moreover and Furthermore aren't selected in form view either?
I don't think anything was missing - i try and avoid 'Groupings' as I find they can be finicky. I recommended another solution above to add hotspots or once you group the text and pic together then save them out as a picture and insert them back in as a picture.
There is always more than one way to do things in Storyline - it's just what works best for your project.
You may find if you recreated the slide it would be good but I don't trust groups so I workaround them.
Sorry I couldn't be more definitive.
Maybe someone else will chime in with a reason 'why'. Good luck with your project Robert.

Perhaps there was a mistake, I have rectified it.
The words
AND
MOREOVER
FURTHERMORE
should have drops on ADD.
I have checked it again right now and the three words do not disappear, despite being the right drop. That is the problem.
Hi Robert
I ungrouped the picture and text box and updated the form view (there were missing objects in your original file) - working as expected now.
If you want to keep the groupings I suggest you add a hotspot to each one and use that as your dropzone.
Ok. Just to be sure that I understand. What was the cause here? What was missing? Just trying to make sure that I can avoid this mistake.
Btw, thanks very much indeed.
