Click to Reveal Interaction
I am new to using storyline and am trying to make a "click to reveal" activity. Is there any easy way of doing it besides making 40 different triggers?? I've attached a picture to what I'm trying to achieve along with a demo. Or if you know of any good tutorials that would show me how to do it, I would really appreciate it!
The triggers get really confusing once I have so many inside the interaction.(This is the website that it's on. Go to the Click to Reveal section on the menu to see a live demo)

These are all actions built into SL. They will work if you let them, but if you create triggers to make them take these actions, you will mess them up.
Change when you hover over them, but not permanently. This will happen if you give the object a state called Hover. It returns to original state when hover leaves it.
Display different state when clicked. This will happen if you give the object a state called Selected. Selected is a toggle state; when you click, it is selected, when you click again, it is Normal.
Reveal content when clicked. This will happen if you create a trigger: "Show Layer 'XXX' when learner clicks on object 'YYY' if state of object 'YYY' is = Selected. Layers default to hiding all other layers, so a layer will show only until another object is clicked.
Return to original state if different button is clicked. This will happen if you select all the objects, right-click, select Button Group, and select a name, making them a group. Only one button in a group can be selected at any one time, so all others will return to original state when another is clicked..
Thanks for this information, Walt, greatly appreciated!
