Trouble with "Drop Incorrect" state

Hi Amit,

  I've checked your file. The problem is with the feedback layers. Once an item is dropped incorrect, it shows the corresponding feedback layer and when the user closes that layer, it hides the layer. But the state of that draggable item still remains "dropped incorrect". You have to reset the state to "normal" before hiding the layer. The simplest way to do this is to assign "jump to slide" to all close buttons and set the slide revisiting to "Reset to initial state". I've attached the modified file. Please check. Hope this helps.

Hi Sanal, 

Thank you for the response.  I see what you did, but now when it jumps back to the original slide, it resets all of the other items on the slide as well.  For example, if I have successfully dragged items 1 and 2 to their correct locations, if I then drag any item to an incorrect location and close the feedback window, items 1 and 2 have also been sent back to their original locations.  Does that make sense?  I attached a screenshot document to illustrate.  

Thanks

Amit

Hi Amit,

  Yes I was aware of that. I just pointed out the simplest way. We may need to manually change the states on every layer to achieve what you said. I've attached the file again. Hope this is what you need.

Yes, I think this is it!  Thank you SO much for your help.  I am going to apply what you showed me here to a few other Storylines that I'm working on.  

Thanks again!  

Glad I could help. Good Luck with your projects :)

Here are some more options for showing correct and incorrect drops.

Walt (thank you for your additional storyline) and Sanal, 

Just curious about something.  What if I wanted to change the feedback components on my original drag-and-drop?  That is, what if I'd like the same feedback to show every time an incorrect item is dropped on # 1.  The items on the left would still have drop targets, but the feedback would be identical if any item was incorrectly dropped on # 1.  And the feedback would be identical if any item was incorrectly dropped on # 2.  etc.  

Does that make sense?  I thought I could do this with states (seems easy enough), but I'm still trying to figure it out.  I've attached my Storyline with a failed attempt and also a screenshot doc to explain.  

Any thoughts?  

Awesome community teamwork!  Glad you're getting such great input, Amit, on these challenging design issues.

Thank you, Crystal.  I've been using Storyline for a while, but I've only recently started to do more complex design.  And the people on these boards have been very helpful.
