Hi - I want a picture to display when the user clicks on an object (in the attached file it is a sign that says vp1). I am hiding the picture when the timeline starts and create an action for the picture's state to be normal when an item is clicked, however it is not displaying - I'm not sure what I'm missing and would appreciate any advice please.
You can set the initial state of any object to hidden, then use a trigger to make it visible. I've attached the modified file, and this is what I did to get it working:
Removed your triggers that changed the state of the stop sign shape and textbox when the timeline began
Clicked the States tab and set the initial state of your shape and textbox to hidden
Added a trigger to change the state of your textbox to normal when the rectangle shape was clicked (the trigger on your stop sign worked after I made the changes above)
Hi Elizabeth, I know this quite an old post, but I've managed to fix my own slide by following your instuctions. Can you please tell me why we shouldn't use a trigger to hide an object when the timeline starts?
