Toggling
Jun 06, 2018
Help!!! I am struggling with this slide i have put together and toggling the buttons. I am unsure if it is the right way to go (toggling or if there is a different option) on this slide so open to ideas. But i am looking for the user to click "Agents", "Av Wait Time", "Occupancy" & "Service Level" and for them to see the data that is behind them.
And once they have all been viewed, for the next button to appear.

Visited states are automatically enabled when the object is clicked. Thus you don't need to create any triggers to change the state.
Here's a quick tutorial on how I'd approach it. Also added a few production tips.
If you need the toggle I would use selected states instead.
As Phil noted, if you need to toggle then using selected states works. However, I'm not sure what the point of the toggling was, so I just assumed you don't need it.
Hate to contradict Tom, but you never need a variable to toggle a selected state just use trigger conditions of equal to selected and not equal to selected.

I thought the toggle was to show the captions, but you could do this nicely and without triggers by adding the captions into the selected states (add an entrance and exit animation the the caption to make it look nicer).

Right, that's why I edited the comment, but you must have gotten the original. :)
Yes I have stopped for the day so replying from my phone.
I assumed that she was going to a layer for the captions. Either way works, though.
I have a similar dilemma, but I am trying to toggle between multiple states. Up to 6 on one slide. I am trying to decide if I should use states vs. layers and hover vs. click-to-reveal (the selected trigger). I need the learner to be able to click through the buttons and hide the other button content as they do so. I can't find a way to do it without building in a whole lot of triggers. Any ideas are so greatly welcomed.
If you are cycling through 6 options, you are going to need a handful of triggers. Probably more than 10 and fewer than 100. I don't know how big your hands are, so I don't know if that constitutes a "whole lot" or not.
Seriously, probably using layers is the key to using the fewest triggers, and you'll get specific and a lot better help if you attach your slide here.
As Walt stated, if you use layers you can go into the layer's timeline and hide objects on the base layer. That avoids using triggers to do the same.
On the move, so I couldn't attach - but I think to save myself from a trigger-induced migraine, I will choose between the hover state and layers. Thank for your feedback
This is awesome! Thank you so much for this :)
How would i do this?
