Hey there! I'm doing an instructional video of our company website and have several slides with hotspots connected to layers. I want to create some sort of restriction that prevents my users from continuing until they've visited each hotspot. I know this has to do with triggers, states or variables, but I can't remember which, and I can't remember exactly where to put it (slide or player??) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
You may want to use transparent objects as your "hot spots". By doing so, you can create a "visited" state (hot spots don't have states) that you can evaluate to determine whether the learner can move ahead or not.
I was wondering why I couldn't "edit states" with the hotspots. Your example was really helpful. And I think I'm understanding better now... a shape versus a hotspot, but any shape can be "clickable," right? Thanks, again.
You're correct, any shape can have a trigger associated with it that when you "click" on the shape, it triggers X to happen. If you need anything else, let us know!
Thanks so much for your suggestion, Lara - and even though this thread is older, hopefully it will be of assistance to folks who are searching for some help! :)

Chrissana,

I've attached a sample for you to review.

Hi Chrisanna,

Utilizing the hover feature of a transparent shape AND tie navigation control:
Why would you want to do this? The hover feature has the restore on mouse leave feature which may be helpful in some interactions.
