Welcome to the community, John.
Just an FYI for you and others that if you're using Storyline 2, you don't need offstage shapes. Articulate have added functionality so you can link state changes to the timeline. See the screenshot:
- Change the state of an object when the timeline reaches a specific time - or -
- Change the state of an object when the timeline reaches a cue point you've set on the timeline
Guess maybe I should add an instructional video for SL2, eh? Remind me
And tx again for posting.

Awesome thanks. So glad I scrolled I'm using SL2 and I'm happy that I don't have to go through the adding shapes off stage process. I did try changing states set to the timeline, but maybe it goes off the timeline for the object, and not the "slides timeline"? I'm not sure since the object started at the beginning of the slide. I'll have to play with it.

I know it has been a few years since you wrote that answer but I can´t find a newer one so I add my question here. I try to use what you describe but it doesn´t show when I play the scene. I have chosen illustraded characters. I show them on the timeline to the end. And then I try to change state of the character when the timeline reaches a certain cuepoint. Is there anything I miss?

Hi Anna
can you share your story file or even just the slide so someone can try and help you.
