Hi there, I have an issue that I have a main menu and I have created a visited state for my shapes on that menu, but when the user clicks the buttons they flash the visited state before changing slides. I tried using the selected state and I can't get it to stop doing this. Can anyone help? I would be so grateful!!!
Hi Meghan, that sounds like expected behaviour to me. The visited states behave more like a "this has been clicked" state and so it will not wait until you have visited a target slide until it shows the visited state. Once clicked, the buttons is effectively visited.
If you wanted to delay this you would have to use a custom state which is set using variables. For example, each menu button would be assigned a boolean variable (default False). You would then set the boolean to true once the conditions had been met (visited a slide?). Then when the menu is viewed you would use the boolean to determine if the button should go to its custom state.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need clarification or a demo.
