Hi there, coming to the forum again for your help!
I currently have an object that displays on several slides and has two states - male and female. I also have a variable controlling which of these displays when the timeline starts on several slides.
For some reason I'm getting a little gremlin whereby, when using the variable to display the female state, the male state still appears for a split second before the female state appears. I'm really confused as to why this is happening and would appreciate any advice available on this.
Thanks both, I think I see now my problem. In my original setup the Male state is set as "Normal" and then I created a Female state - "Female". Makes sense if the normal state always appears before the trigger occurs that I'm seeing this flash.
I'll take your suggestions and fingers crossed this will fix it!

Try changing the state from hidden, if the male is the normal state then they will show before the trigger changes the object.
Another option and to build on what Phil says, is to set up the object with an [empty] Normal state.
What you should end up with is an object with three states: Normal [empty], Male, and Female.
The *flash* should not happen now and your variable only has one of two choices to show. The Normal state has been removed from the equation.
