When I have users hover over an object on the base slide, other objects on the base slide (all text) are hidden. I want to restore the visibility of those objects when the mouse is no longer hovering over the one object. I've tried a number of approaches, including a hot spot across the slide for which hover over was supposed to restore the objects to Normal -- did not work.
Change state of a particular object to Hidden when user hovers the mouse over a different particular object. I do this for each object I want hidden, and "Restore on mouse leave" is set for each of these.
It sounds like it's set up correctly, but it would help to take a look at your .story file and see if there is anything else interfering with this. Could you share a copy of it here with us?
This is in progress, so may not make a lot of sense. Basically, certain words on the base slide are supposed to be joined with additional words on each layer -- to make complete sentences -- then when I leave a given layer all the words on the base should reappear. I'd love if I could simply hide words on the base slide and have them be displayed again when leaving a layer. (Otherwise, I'll probab copy the background from the base to each layer... as I have begun doing...)
Thanks very much! I realize in looking back at my file it was kind of a mess, with some half-attempted solutions in there. Your rectangle that adopts the background of the base slide works great! Just to show what I originally had in mind -- and it's nearly complete now -- I've attached my latest file.
By the way, my interest in Storyline is mainly about marketing rather than elearning. I think the tool has great potential for interactive marketing. (But I also wonder if some minor changes to some aspects of SL could make it more usable for marketing.) I think that marketing media producers might be a good-sized target market for Articulate. If there's anyone at Articulate who is interested in that, I'd love to chat/brainstorm.

How do you hide the baselayer objects in the first place?

Thanks for any feedback you have.
Hi there Orson!
I made a few changes in your file -- take a Peek at this video to see exactly what I did.
Is that what you were looking to achieve?
