Button initial state not working
I have a button on a slide which I've set to 'disabled' as the initial state. I edited this state so the button is transparent. I then have a trigger to change the state of the button to 'normal' whe...
Hi Sam
Yes, I previewed the one you sent back. See attached screenshot.
Hi Sam, thanks for your response. I've tried the following and the button is still visible from the start:
- Changing initial state to hidden - no change
- Creating a hidden state and change it to the initial - no change
- Making the hidden state transparent (keeping it as initial) - no change
Any other ideas?
HI JenniferDickson did you actually preview the content? When "hidden", you can still see the button in author mode, but when previewing and viewing published content, it is hidden. This is to make it easier to work with in the author environment. The Storyline file I attached to my response demonstrates the "hidden" state.

Hi JenniferDickson are you absolutely sure that you downloaded and opened the file I provided, and didn't accidently open your own SL file again. I just downloaded the one I provided, with the initial state of "hidden" and the button is hidden until the 1,2 and 3 have a tick.
If it continues to happen, it is possible you have a problem with your software and may need to re-install it.

I've saved the file as a different version number so you can be sure you are opening this one up. Just download, open up, hit preview, and let me know if you still continue to have issues and don't get the same result as me.
