Simple branching issue with triggers

Hi Guys,

Quick question, I have a branching screen with 5 Freeform shapes going to 5 screens.

Freeform 1 = screen 1

Freeform 2 = screen 2 ect

When I sent the ‘Jump to Slide trigger’ on say Shape 1 togo to Screen1, the rest of the other four Freeform shapes inherent that trigger. If I edit the ‘Jump to Slide trigger’ on Freeform 2 togo to Screen2, then the Freeform shape 1 inherent that trigger and goes to screen2.  I have used format painter to make sure no buttons have any triggers – however when I place a trigger back on freeform shape 1 togo screen 1 – all other 4 buttons have the that same trigger. Edit or add any other trigger again – all buttons will have the same trigger.

The trigger wizard is treating these 5 Freeform shapes as a Object Trigger (Picture)

Clearly missed something simple.

Thanks

Garry

Hi Bruce,

Thnx for responding.  I have PM'ed you.  I imported the shapes from standard PPT. 

I have tried importing the arrows in varous ways: cut and paste, as grouped and ungrouped shapes, import the arrows as a whole slide via powerpoint import, converted as a PNG...I think standard shapes are fine.....

I think this is known issue.  The problem is with SL importation of powerpoint smart art.

Did anyone find a fix for his?

Cheers

Garry
