buttons not working in preview
All of a sudden when I preview a slide the buttons to layers or other slides are not working. If I preview a scene they work. WHAT's going on with SL3??? Help please!
Well, I just discovered if I insert a new shape and give it a trigger to show a layer THAT works. This is beyond frustrating. Does this mean I will have to replace EVERY shape and button to get it to work?
I'm wondering if this is related to having to divide out my original file in order to export for translation and then importing into the divided file?
PLEASE get the translation bugs fixed!

Hi john.
I've created a dummy project with just a button.
When I remove the fill, the button does not change states. UNLESS, I rest the mouse over the border. So, I removed the border and rest my mouse over the button and the states do not change.
I look forward to your feedback and Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Erik,
Thanks for sharing the file! I see the dilemma now. As it turns out, this is the expected behavior of buttons because without a fill they can't be selected.
A workaround for this is to set the transparency of the fill to 100%. That allows you to see through them, but the mouse will still recognize the fill.
I hope this helps!
Technically, with no fill, there is no pixel inside the object to catch or recognize "The cursor is above me". the same thing can happen with pre-designed icons.
