Change state of the shape based on the value of the variable using Javascript

I do have a shape(Rectangle 1) in my timeline and added multiple states(10, 20, 30). I have also created few variables which changes based on check box status. Now I want to edit the state of the rectangle based on these variable values using javascript.

var getprogressrectangle = document.querySelectorAll("[data-acc-text='Rectangle 1']");
if (userval1 == 1 && userval2 == 0){
getprogressrectangle.setState({state: "30"});

}else{getprogressrectangle.setState({state: "10"});}

But I'm getting "getprogressrectangle.setState is not a function" error.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!!

    Why you think 'setState' should work ?

    If you check your console you will notice a state change will change quite a lot in the HTML...

    If you make a simple sample with a few states and run this in your console....
    DS.shadowDOM.state.children
    you will get a list of ( i presume ) all elements in view with their states and a lot more info.
    Selecting one of them...
    DS.shadowDOM.state.children[0]
    will simplify the info and you can see quite a lot of info on your element.
    including a property called hideShowState: "show"
    That one might be the one needed.
    But as is the code inthere is way to complicated to decipher. For me at least.

    Hi Math,

    Thank you for your response. Yes, this seems complicated. I may go ahead with multiple triggers and variables.
