Hover state

Hi Debra

can you upload the slide

Hi Debra! Looks like Wendy has popped in to assist you here, and it is most helpful to see the .story file in some cases :)

Hi,

Thanks so much for the quick replies. I won't be able to load the file. I
would have to get permission,etc. I was wondering if there were any
troubleshooting tips, etc.

Thanks,

Debra

Hi Debra

from what you say, it seems the hover state may be on the graphic as well and not on the object.

Are you using a hotspot?

To clarify the graphic takes up the whole slide, then the shape is on top of that?

Looks like you are getting some great assistance here Debra ;)

Yes, I am , Leslie - thanks, everyone. I haven't had a chance yet to go
back into the project and look at the different suggestions. I will, and
then report back.

Thanks!

Debra

Sounds great! Thanks for the update.

Hi, Wendy - If you can still look at the file, I would appreciate it. I took it out of my project and put it on a single slide. I don't believe it is grouped with the computer graphic. This file has a hotspot, but I have also tried a shape with the transparency set to 100%. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Debra,

Because Hover is a default SL state, when you have an image with that state, SL is automatically going to show the hover state when you hover over the 'object'...in your case it was hovering to show the 7:00 tag info. Whereas you wanted only 'show tag' when you hovered over 7:00.   I removed the hotspot (I personally prefer shapes to hotspots) and put a transparent rectangle and removed the triggers. 

See if this what you are after

Thanks Wendy :)

Hi, Wendy

Thanks! It works the way I want it to; however, I cannot figure out how you did it. I will have to put hovers in a few other places.

I am looking at the source file but I can't figure it out. Can you point me to the directions? Thanks!

Hi Deb

I added the popup to the hover state of the transparent rectangle - I added the whole picture but you could just add the actual popup bit if you wanted. Click on the rectangle over the 7:00am field and view the states.

Oh, my! I got it. Thank you so much. I appreciate your help.

Glad you got it sorted Debra...have a nice weekend ;-)

Glad that Wendy was able to assist you here Debra :)
