Hotspots within states

Hey Matthew,

Thanks for the idea.

I've never used them to be completely honest but will have a look at this thread and have a go!

Thanks!

Hi Matthew,

I've set this up and it works perfectly apart from the pop up menu icon doesn't appear infront of the pictures on the screen when in normal view and preview. 

The actual menu when it pops up does but the menu button sits behind everything, is there a way to solve this?

Thanks,

Hi Emily

can you upload your story file

Hey Wendy,

Of course -

:)

I think I've solved it!! x

I added a layer for the button as well and rather than the triggers hiding the other layers I redirected them all back to the button layer which looks like the base layer!

Hi Emily

I assume you are talking about page 1 - the boy with the soccer ball.  This is because the slide master is your lowest layer, then anything on the slides sit on top again. Think of the master layout as the bottom sheet on your bed, then you put the top sheet (which you see and it hides the bottom sheet), then the blanket, which hides the top sheet. - hope that makes sense.  So what you'd need to do is have a guideline that sits at the top of your popup menu icon so you know where you can build objects on each slide.   I've drawn a line on the screen to show you what I mean and I've resized the image so you can see. 

I have attached your story file with the changes.Hope that helps - shout out if you need more help

Thanks Wendy - good work around!

I managed to come up with a way of doing it so that the image can fill the whole space so as not to interrupt the design. 

I created it so that the layers interact with each other rather than the base slide and set the button layer to show when the timeline starts - that way it's always infant of the image.

Well done Emily - glad you got it sorted

Hi Emily,

Hotspots appear disabled in states so I assume they don't work within states. The 100% transparent shape also does't seem to work within states, however variables do. See the attached file which shows layers being triggered from "buttons" within states using variables. Slide the slider to step 3 and 4 to see buttons. Hope this helps.
