Show hide an object on the screen based on a variable

Jun 11, 2014

Is there any way to hide an object on the screen, based on a variable without using layers.  Looking for a show/hide kind of trigger like in Lectora.

w0w.  Thanks for the quick response.  What I have is a rectangle shape, that I want to gray out after the learner has already viewed.  The interaction is set up with a main slide jumping to 6 other slides based on clicking an area on the main slide and then returning to the main slide after choosing.  I want the learner to know what they have already clicked on by graying out the rectangle on the main slide.

Each rectangle/hotspot they click on has a variable associated with it so that I can show a next button when they have viewed all.  

Not sure how to incorporate your response.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nancy,

I think Andrew has pointed you in the right direction. Add a "Selected" state to each rectangle the learner clicks on. Make the rectangle for the selected state a different color or whatever you like to make it look different. Then add a trigger to the menu slide,  Change state of your next button when state of all the rectangles are in the Selected state.

Let us know how it goes.
