Help With States

Visited is a built-in state with its own set of built-in triggers that you can't see or change. When you write a trigger for it, they may conflict, with results like those you have seen.

You don't need a trigger to change the state of Text Box 2, it will do so automatically when clicked. I copied the visited state of Picture 4 and named it Completed, changed the trigger as you see, and it works.

Awesome! Thanks so much. And great to know about custom vs template states!!!

Hey Walt,

One follow up question: why does the "completed" state text and mascot "ghost" when the layer starts and finishes? I assumed this was consequence of fading in and out but when I changed the animation, it didn't do anything?

I think it maybe is the video getting cued up. Try a white rectangle on the layer behind the video.

That didn't work. And when I changed the video on the timeline to start after four seconds, the changed state from the base layer showed the whole four seconds until the videos starts (despite the fact I have the slide layer box checked to hide the base layer). Weird. Any thoughts?

Actually, the white box did work, so nevermind! THanks, again!

Hi Eric,

Glad Walt was able to get you set up - and I just wanted to pop in to share the information here in regards to the definitions of the built in states and how they'll behave.
