Getting State to change back to normal after Hover

Hi Marcia

can you upload the story file or a few of the slides - easier for someone to help you if they can see your setup.

Hi Wendy

Attached is the Story file.  As you will see, I have tried to get the states of the objects to change back to Normal after they had a Hover trigger activated.  From some of the other forum posts, it looks like the "Restore on Mouse Leave" option is causing some issues for other users as well, but maybe I am missing something really obvious. :)

Thanks for the reply!

Hi Marcia

I have rejigged all the triggers and states.  See if this is the behaviour you are after.

Hi Wendy

That's exactly what I wanted, thanks!  I was hoping that I wouldn't need to individually add a state for each dimming effect since I will eventually probably have 20 - 30 tools on the board, and that means the triggers are going to take forever, but it looks like I won't have much choice.

If the "Restore on Mouse Leave" changed the state back to Normal it would have allowed me to set up a single trigger for all the items on the the board. I am sure this is just a bug that will hopefully be addressed with one of the next updates.

Thank you so much for taking the time to rejig these, really do appreciate the help! :)

Hi Marcia

I find hover state can be fickle so I always try and tighten using lots of triggers.

Perhaps someone else will chime in with an easier solution. 

Good luck with your project!

Thank you Wendy

Since this section will be one of the main focuses of the project, it will be worth putting the time in to make it work properly :)

Whoever says E-Learning isn't challenging and fun all at the same time is clearly doing it wrong... LOL.

Thanks again for the help!

Hi Marcia, Wendy did a great job for triggers. But if there will be 20-30 tools, let's take 20 for example, you will need 20*20 triggers for changing states. Here is another way to do it, please see the attached file. In this way you only need to deal with 40 triggers for the same amount of tools.

Joanne, thank you so much!  

This is definitely a much simpler way with WAAAAAAAY less triggers!  Using the background picture with a hover trigger is great, because I can use it for every tool I subsequently add to the board as well. 

I believe you may have just saved me a huge amount of work! :)
