Triggers to change states
Sep 03, 2013
Hello heroes,
I have a slide where there are a series of images. I can set it up to where images change states, and when the state changes to "visited", it stays visited.
However I'm trying to control these states through a shape via triggers, and it works, but the image's state does not stay a visited when I move the mouse away from the shape.
For example, when I hover over the shape, it changes the state of the image to "hover."
When I click the shape, it changes the state of the image to "visited."
So far, so good.
However, after I move my mouse away from the shape, the state of the image reverts to "Normal". I would like it to stay as "Visited."
I've tried setting up a condition, but that did not work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ed

From your description, it sounds like that the trigger on the shape that changes the image to "Visited" is set up for "When Mouse Hovered Over" and the "Restore on Mouse Leave" option selected.
The trigger should be set up for 'When user clicks".
Hi Ed! Looks like Michael is taking care of you here, just let us know how that suggestion works for you and if you need anything further.
Thanks Michael.
I think what I want to do is not doable.
Here's what I would like:
Right now, the above works until I re-hover over the shape, at which point the state of the image returns to "Normal."
I've set up a condition for the trigger on the shape:
Change the state of image to "hover" when mouse is hovered over shape on the condition that the image's state is "normal,"
but that does not do the trick.
One option would be to trigger the image's hover/normal state from another shape that is slightly larger than the first one. Clicking the original shape would hide the second one and with that prevent the image from having subsequent hover/normal states. See attached a quick example and here is the published version. Hope that's what you wanted.
Thanks Michael for sharing that example!
