Conditional Animation Triggers Not Working
In the attached Storyline file, I'm labeling a diagram using custom-built markers (Oval shape for the marker, Callout shape for the pop-out dialog). My intent is to have each marker stand out with a ...

Brilliant! I had considered putting the animation on the animations on a separate layer, but not quite how you implemented it, and I have never thought about the applications of using object States in this way. This was a big help, and I've learned a couple new tricks. Thank you!
Glad I could help, JeffHerman
