Changing "Selected" state of checkbox?
I'm using a Freeform Pick Many slide for an interactive..test your knowledge slide.
I have changed the Selected state of the "right" checkboxes to have a green checkmark.
However, there are no Xs for the "wrong" answers. Is there a way to achieve this without Inserting a X shape, coloring it red, then setting up triggers to switch to a new state named "wrong." ?
What I'd like to achieve is this:
EDIT: while I can insert the red X and create a state and trigger to show the red check when the learner clicks the wrong check, StoryLine doesn't count it as a "wrong" answer.
The alternative I guess is to change the wrong answers' checks to red (indicating 'wrong') but generall, check marks are used for "Right" while Xs are used for "Wrong"
Thank you!

You can insert a red X shape directly into the Selected state of a checkbox.
With that solution, there's no need for a triggering a special state. That's what I did in the attached file. I also changed the default checkmark color to gray, so it's not visible behind the red X.
- Note: An object inserted while editing a state has its own accessibility setting. In the attached file, I set the red X so it's not visible to accessibility tools.
You could also create custom checkboxes to get the desired look and size.
Of course, a red X reveals that an answer is wrong before the question is submitted...
Thank you, Judy...that is a very elegant solution!
You're welcome. Pay it forward when you can. 😊
By the way, I even did a related post about avoiding groups:

P.S. I'd appreciate it if you would click the "Mark As Solution" button on my earlier reply (not this comment). Yes, selfishly, that ups the count of solutions on my Profile page. More importantly, it marks the issue as SOLVED, which might help others find the answer when they have a similar question.
