I am trying to develop a free form drag and drop activity in Storyline. I don't want to use the player SUBMIT button. I created one myself and added a trigger on it. I also created two states for the drag items: drop correct and drop incorrect.
However, what I found was that the state change worked fine when I used the default player SUBMIT button. It didn't work when I used the SUBMIT button I created.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there a solution for this?
I just tested and got the same results as you - i.e., that the custom submit button doesn't show the states. Not sure if someone has come up with a solution for this.
It would be easy enough to set up the Correct layer so that all the objects change to the correct state when the timeline started, but I can't think of anything for the Incorrect layer that wouldn't involve a lot of triggers with states and or variables...could get unwieldy quickly depending on the number of drags and targets.
There's a known issue with the custom button not working properly with hotspot quizzes and the solution was to put the Submit button on a separate layer...and start that layer when the quiz timeline starts. But that didn't work for me here.

Hi Xin,
It looks like Jerson and I are also helping you in this thread, so I wanted to connect for anyone else following along.
