Dial Intersection
Thanks, Michael. I have a really intense slide set up and I've been sandboxing this problem in the project I uploaded. For the big project, I have objects moving, otherwise I'd 'assume' the intersect. I ended up creating a triangle with 36 different states, and depending on the state, it will correctly show an intersection, with motion. I'm linking it to the dial (I'm married to the dial at this point) via the dial's variable and putting it under my background. I did discover a few things though, for anyone else interested:
1. Storyline reads transparency in the alpha layer in a .png file as part of the object for intersection purposes, even if you can't see it.
2. I don't know that dials were intended to be used as intersecting objects - they don't show up in the menu if you try a drag and drop interaction, which seems like what the intersection feature was built on.
3. Any shape created in Storyline as a 'shape' will register an intersection with a second object when their boundaries intersect, and only then, as opposed to transparent alpha layers.
4. I had some problems with intersecting shapes when I chose "No fill". As long as there was a solid color, even with some transparency, things worked well.
That glitch does seem like a bug, but I wasn't sure if anyone else had even attempted what I'm doing. I really don't know.
