I have created a custom question slide where I have text and graphics grouped together to create individual answers (so all 4 answers are groups of text and an image), but if I select anywhere but on the text area, I get the invalid answer pop-up. Is this something to do with the grouping of each answer choice?
Good idea, Wendy, thanks! I now have another issue though. I have a trigger set to change the state of a shape when the hotspot over it is selected, but it stays selected even if you choose other answers. Do you know how I can have it deselect if another choice is selected?
Since you are using the hotspot over top of the items, you may need to add another trigger to change the state to normal on condition that other objects are "selected"
Ok Emily, I added a trigger to change it to selected, but trying to figure out how to have the rest of the hotspots return to normal when the other is selected. i.e. only one spot will appear as selected. I have done it using multiple triggers on each hotspot, but i am sure there must be an easier way so i don't have a bunch of trigger to change. Thoughts? True/false variable? Not sure....
The way the file is set up is working as it should. If there is another way to do this, I am sure others will chime in with ideas. I did notice that the answers were not submitting. You would need to make sure the Hotspot shape is chosen as the correct answer.

Hi Lisa
I often find with 'grouped elements' you can't get the control you need. Have you tried adding a hotspot to the group and see if that works.
Hello Lisa!
Hopefully the idea Wendy gave of using a hotspot will help.

Do you have a file you could share?

Attached is an update.
Thanks, Emily. I just forgot to fix that.
Thanks for the update!
