State issues

Oct 28, 2014

Hi all!

I have attached two slides I am having trouble with.

1) This slide has 5 icons that I applied states to. The state is the icon plus some text; and a hover state. When I originally created the state, I added a greenglow. I didn't like the color choices, so I removed the glow and added a blue shadow that looks like glow. The first time you view the hover state, it is blue, however, after that, the hover is back to the green glow. I purposedly did not put a visited state. I just want the text to come on in one state and the shadow to come on in the hover state. Any solutions?

2) The second slide is again, very simple use of states. I have three shapes and three texts that come on when the user clicks the states. In this slide, I cannot get the user click state to come on.  If I create any other shape, the states work just fine. Thoughts?

Would appreciate any thoughts/solutions you may have.  I have attached the file here.

Thanks!

Hi Elaine

I am having trouble clicking to open the first slide from the story view — just won't display in the slide panel and open to edit.

2nd slide.  When I click each button I get the text to display, is this what you mean by the click state?  see attached screenshot.

Hi Elaine,

For the five icons, the first three show me the green glow after the click - the last two don't. Everything works as normal with the hover state on those ones, I hover and I see blue - I click, I see the text, and if I hover again I see blue.  You don't need a trigger to invoke a hover state as mentioned here. 

The second slide also looks normal - I hover and when I click, the text flies in from the right, and I can continue to hover and see the blue. 

Since it seems like the behavior is odd and not consistent, I'd want to make sure that you're working on project files locally, and if the behavior persists in this file you may want to try importing into a new Storyline file.
