Can someone find out what is wrong with my progress meter? The ladybirds are supposed to be activated by a variable change from clicking the last picture of every row, but they can also be set to normal state by clicking the directly. I'm planning to put a mask on the progress meter, but I'd like to understand what I did here.
The last slide with motion path works fine when visited for the first time, but not when I go to the previous slide and then revisit the last one, although the slide properties are set to reset initial state. (Also welcoming any ideas on how to beautify the frog tongue :)).
First of all, when I run your SL file the ladybirds change state when they are supposed to.
The second point is that you don't need a mask over them to prevent them being changed by clicking on them. The reason this occurs is because you have used the name of the built-in state Selected and so, when you click on them they automatically toggle between Selected and Normal.
What I suggest you do is to copy the Selected state for each ladybird, give it a new name (such as "Start", as it is your starting state), then set the initial state of each ladybird to Start and delete the Selected state. Now when the user clicks on the ladybirds nothing happens.

Hope this helps.
Thank you Ned, for the fix and for the explanation!
