Help with Storyline 3 hover trigger
Apr 30, 2019

Hello. I am new to Articulate Storyline and I'm creating an online lesson for community partners who will access it from their offices. I'm not done with it, but I've discovered the hover feature on one of the slides is not working. When I preview the slide, it works fine. But, when I publish it, the hover only blinks constantly and won't change the state of the area of the slide where the trigger is located.
Any thoughts??
Here's a temporary link to the unfinished project. My issue is in the last slide.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get!

Sorry, it's the fourth slide, not the last one. Thanks!
And, it's a state I'm having trouble with, not a trigger. I told you I was new, lol.
Hi, Enya! Thanks for including the link. I'm seeing lots of blinking when hovering over the rectangles on the Needs Versus Wants slide.
Would you mind sharing your original project file so I can dig into how you built this slide? You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
I wonder what you put the trigger on? The flashing could be because you put the trigger on the text or something that doesn't cover the whole area. But we would need to see the project file.
Alyssa and Paris, thanks for responding. I didn't add a trigger, it's only a state on that layer. As I stated, when I preview the slide, the state changes correctly, but when I publish it to a temp file, it only blinks (like Alyssa stated.)
I did send the original file to Alyssa, so hopefully, you'll be able to find the issue.
Thanks, again!
What item did you put the hover state on? If there is text partially obscuring the box that has the hover state, it will flash as the cursor meanders over the text. But if you added the text to the box that shouldn't be the case.
Thanks for sending your file over, Enya! I just replied in your case. We can keep the conversation going there, if you'd like!
Alyssa, you are my hero! Your suggestion worked. I uploaded a temp file and voila! No blinking when I hover over the boxes.
Thanks also for the short video tutorial. I thought if I remove the box it would simply show what was underneath. But, it makes sense that the mouse has to have a target to change the state.
You guys are much appreciated. I hope you and Paris have a wonderful rest of your day!
That's awesome news, Enya! Thanks for the update. I'm so glad that solution worked for you.
Best of luck on the rest of your project!
