Issues with the button state Selected
Jan 28, 2016
I am building a course for an ELearning Challenge and added two button states of Selected and Hover (in that order) to the course. The issue: When I click on Tab 1 it changes to yellow, then when I click on Tab 2, the Tab 1 stays yellow (the Selected state), and it does not change back to Normal. So if I have 5 tabs, all 5 tabs will remain on Selected state once they are clicked. I tried to troubleshoot myself and used Nicole's tabs template as a reference and everything on mine appears to be the same as this one and I can't seem to fix the issue. https://community.articulate.com/download/storyline-2-color-block-tabs-template
Thinking that maybe my file was corrupted somehow, I started a new project and created a 3 tab, 3 layer interaction and same issue is occurring where the buttons stay on Select states once they are clicked and don't return back to Normal state.

That is the nature of the Selected state; it stays selected until it is deselected.
One option is to make them all part of a button set. That automatically deselects all the others when one is selected.
I thought so Walter. Whats weird is that I followed Nicole's Tabs Interaction to the tee and her buttons return back to Normal and she had the same two states Selected and Normal. I will need to read up on button sets - I will check that out now. Thanks, Dana
OMG Thanks Walter. I have never used the Button Set before - it worked like a charm. thanks again.
