SL2 Object state not changing when trigger is based on variable set on another slide

Dec 05, 2014

I hope I've not missed something really basic but can anyone suggest what's wrong here?

I have two slides:

On slide 1, I set a variable to be a value 0, 1 or 2. (it comes from a slider position). The variable is being set OK, it's being displayed in a text box.

On slide 2 I have a simple object, a rectangle. It has a 'Normal' state and two other states, each a different size. I have three triggers set on this slide, which are set to change the state of this object when the variable changes to = 0, 1 or 2. This variable is also displayed OK on this slide. 

But when I set the variable on slide 1 and then go to slide 2, the object state has not changed. 

So, have I missed something or can object states NOT be changed by a trigger when the variable has already been set on a previous slide? The only workaround I have found is if I set a new variable on slide 2 to equal the slide 1 variable and then use this (interim) variable in the three triggers. Seems a bit tedious.

Thanks.
