Could someone help me resolve a problem I'm having adding triggers to buttons with icons? I grouped the icons/buttons but when I tried to create a trigger for the first one, it didn't work. I've attached the slide I'm having the problem with. Many thanks in advance!
it's always tricky when you have groupings of objects to add triggers. I would recommend two ways you might want to do it.
One is to create a button and add the icon > group then export as a picture and bring back in - that way it is one object which can have different states.
You could add a transparent shape (any fill colour with 100% transparency - not NO FILL) over the grouped button and add the triggers to that.
Thanks so much for responding to my question. Does that mean I have to change the state on the button? Could you possibly explain the steps of the option you're suggesting ?
I'm glad to see that you're getting such great help from the community.

You could also put the icon inside of the normal state of the button. Then your trigger can apply to the button. No grouping needed.
