I have created custom buttons using flash and inserted them as flash files in Storyline. Then I have given a trigger to open a lightbox slide. But the trigger is not working! :( Does triggers work on flash files? If they work just fine, Can any one tell me where I am going wrong?
I'm not sure if this will work for you, but have you tried placing an invisible button (full transparency) over the object and assigning the trigger to that, instead of the Flash object?
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that earlier, but the problem is I cannot see the flash animations on hover. :( So, will this be a feature request then?
I am now think of creating these custom buttons within Storyline by using PNGs in the different stages and animated GIFs in the hover state. Unfortunately, the quality of these buttons won't be that great. :(

Solved the problem! Here are the steps:
1. Create a custom button using PPT/Storyline/Photoshop (I have used Photoshop to create the custom button)
2. Add hover state in Storyline to the custom button that you have created
3. In the hover state add the Flash animation/SWF of your choice
4. Add a transparent PNG on top of the SWF (do not use a transparent shape from Storyline)
5. Add the trigger
Good morning Dhurjati! I hope you had a great weekend
I apologize for the delay. However, I'm very happy to hear you were able to resolve this. Thanks so much for sharing the solution!
