I've been trying something which I feel should be simple in Articulate Storyline 2, but for some reason it's not working for me. I'd like the hover state for a true/false quiz object to be 50% transparent - but for some reason it's not displaying. Instead I get the full colour state. Can anyone provide a quick solution here? I've attached an example .story file.
Hi Julia - Thank you - but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I can see you've changed the other states so that they have no fill colour, which then allows the Hover state to display with it's 50% transparency (in the same fill colour). I would like to keep the fill in the Normal state, since in my actual project I have an image as the background and want the text to be easily read.
I just find it odd that the Normal state seems to be displaying underneath the Hover state - it's not the behaviour I would expect. I'd like to understand what is happening here to better understand how states behave. My assumption has been that they simply swap over, but here they appear to be layered somehow.
Yes it is! Very clever - using a white fill on the Hover state at 50% transparency achieves the effect somewhat. It's strange how the normal state sits underneath the hover state though. Thanks! If any staff are reading this any link to an explanation of why this occurs would be a nice to know. Cheers Julia!

Hi Brett,
Please see attached, hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Brett,
Is this the effect you are looking for?
