I'm new to stroyline and have been trying to figure out how a user can hover over a picture that has a text field and receive a description or definition for that text area. I know the markers are ab le to do this however I need button or icon to be very small or it will complete over take the picture. In fact if it were 100% transparent that would be great. Any help is truly appreciated.
One way is to create a new layer that has your text popup on. Then add a Hotspot (under the Insert Ribbon > Controls > Hotspots) over the image on the base layer. Next set a trigger on the hotspot to show the layer with your text popup when the "Mouse hovers over". You could also do something similar using States but I think this is the simplest way.
