Hover trigger not working properly in lightbox slide for Articulate 360

Jan 17, 2017

I have an issue with Articulate 360. I'm using hotspots on a lightbox slide that triggers show layers when hovered over. When I preview "slide " or " scene" it works fine. When I preview "Entire Project " or publish project the hover feature doesn't work.

I've attached the .story file. Click on the Help tab to trigger lightbox slide.

 

Thanks.

Hi Karen,

 

My bandage solution was to replace the hotspot with a text box (filled with blank spaces such as this:                                   ), within that I applied a 'Hover' layer to the blank text box, and placed the content I wanted to appear within that state.

This has worked without fail for me, but I cannot copy and paste it out to other slides.

 

I hope this helps you!

 

Best,

Josh

Hi Alyssa, it is probably the same bug. I'm experiencing the same issues like Lou and Karen with lightboxes. As long as I only use the hover state of a button/element, everything is working fine. But as soon as I add a trigger to a button/element (show layer when hover over) things got screwed up and the button hover state as well as the trigger (show layer when hover over) are not working anymore and flashes only briefly.
When removing the hover triggers, hover states of the buttons are working.

Please find a lightbox example attached.

Hi there

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I assume I am on the latest version, I am using Articulate 360 and it is not indicating that there are any updates to do.

I have tried it in flash/htlm5 and html5/flash and get the same issue either way. Have tried it in Review in Edge and Chrome and have the same issue either way. Have tried publishing it to our LMS (flash/html5) and get the same issue.

It is fine in preview mode in storyline.

Attached is the story file (in its entirety). It is happening on slide 6.6 Search for an Asset. When you get to layer "Hover over classifications" it just jumps back to the beginning of the slide.

Hope you can help!

Many thanks
Kim

Hey everybody! I'm excited to let you know that we just released update 3 for Storyline 3! It includes new features and fixes - check them all out here.

One of the fixes addresses an issue where hotspots on Lightbox slides to trigger a layer "when mouse hovers over" did not work correctly.

Here’s where you can download and install the latest version of Storyline 3. Let me know how you make out!
