Button Hover States are getting stuck
Hi Community! I'm editing a project file that has a few menu slides throughout the course. The buttons are built with the standard Normal, Hover, Selected, and Visited states. When you return to t...
When you click on it, you are also hovering over it. So if your slide is set to saved state on revisit, the hover state is still showing. It will show until it feels a the cursor moving off. You can set the slide Tom restore to initial state, and that won’t happen. Of course, the visited state won’t show either.
One cure is to delete the hover state. Another is to reset the slide on revisit, then when the timeline starts, set all the buttons that have been clicked to visited. You’ll need to create variables (T/F works best) To keep- track of them.
Personally, I prefer not to use hover unless it is the only action. If the button has to be clicked to function, I don’t use hover. I always use variables, for the increased reliability and flexibility they give me.
Hi Walt,
Thanks for the quick reply! I've checked some of our other project files with a similar menu screen set up, and all buttons show only the visited state when you return. The only difference is that there are not Selected button states on this menu. I tried deleting the Selected state of a button in the file with the stuck Hover state issue, but it was the same result - when you return it is showing the Hover and Visited state.
It does seem like this can be fixed without variables as the other project's buttons are remaining in only the visited state when you return to the menu screen.
Any ideas on why there is a difference between these two projects?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
