Sigh, I'm trying to get a colored box to appear when hoovered over each category. In my file, I've set up different states for the first 2 categories but I still can't get it to work. Does anyone have any tips on what I could be doing wrong.
Sarah, I only have one trigger set up. I've tried it with the object being hidden in the original state and it didn't work. I've also tried it where there is no object in the original state and then it is supposed to appear when hovered over. Unfortunately, that didn't work either. Thanks though!
Hard to say without knowing what it is that's not working, or what it is that is happening. Have attached a sample of what I think it is you are trying to achieve.
Usual mistake that I make when adding hovers is that I fall out of the edit mode (or get into a routine and forget to go into edit on about the third instance). Make sure you are in the Hover instance when addding the effect - even if you are looking at Hover, when you click Edit, the instance will switch to Normal.
Sorry, missed the attachment in your initial post. Have played with the second column - roll over the square at the top of the heading. Is this what you are trying to achieve?
OMG...Yes that is exactly what I was trying to do. I'm going to look at how you set it up. I'm heading into a meeting and may still have questions but wanted to say THANKS!
No problem. Will be in and out of the forum for the next few hours. In the meantime, have given a second option (this one with triggers and states). In the third column, the outline box has an initial state of hidden. On rollover, this state is changed to normal (via trigger).
To set initial state hidden, go to states and there is a dropdown to set initial state.
Lance this is incredibly helpful! I didn't know that if I'm utilizing the "hover" feature in states then I don't need to set a "rollover" trigger. Thanks a bunch!

I know that your triggers have to be in the right order, could that be it? Maybe one is overruling the other? What is the initial state set at?

This example uses states, not triggers.
