Making hot spot from part of a drawing/image
Jul 01, 2017
I imported 3 images CSP, CVI and C vergae. I would like to show them when the mouse is over. I tried to make the normal state "not visible" but didn't find a way to do this, and the hover state visible.
Next I tried to delete the normal state but then I get no reaction when mousing over, probably since there is nothing on the screen (even invisible)
Finally, I imported 3 other drawings (same name-HS) that I made as hot spots. Unfortunately I want only the part of the image containing pixel to act as hot spot, not the whole bounding box. So now the reaction is always to the same hot-spot-bounding-box.
Can anyone teach how to solve this ? Thanks! It is Scene 9- slide 13

Hi Phillippe -
I took a look at your file and think freeform hotspots will be your best option. Here's a quick video on how I re-worked your file: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/eee8e740-a962-4489-92b9-ccb228344cff/review
Fantastic David ! Your commitment to supporting users at Articulate is
really unmatched. I am a long time Director user but i think just the user
support team you have is reason enough to switch !
This works great, i duplicate. I also though but had not tried to make the
Normal state HIDDEN I will try just to learn that
Happy 4th to you !
Glad to hear that will work, Philippe!! I could tell you had authoring experience because the things you were trying made sense from a general multimedia authoring perspective.
I briefly worked in Director but don't recall how transparent bitmaps worked. In Storyline, transparent images are treated like regular bitmap images in that the rectangular area will be seen as opaque and will block interactive objects below the bounding box of the image.
I'm including a related screencast that might help you with similar projects.
Happy 4th of July, Philippe!
