Getting Invalid Response layer to work with custom Drop Down interaction
Storyline 360, Windows 10
What I'm looking for is a drop down interaction with a custom answer layer (two of the answers are the same) and an invalid response layer that works correctly when clicking the Submit button first.
I started out trying to do this with a Matching Drop Down question using 4 questions and custom layers. It only went sideways from there. I really don't want the default invalid response layer which comes in the middle of the slide. I want the learner to see what they chose as well as the answer.
I ended up building the same drop down interaction from scratch, with an answer layer and an invalid response layer (slide 1.1). The interaction works well until I click the Submit button before answering the questions. When I click the Submit button, the answer layer shows up with no way to make selections.
I then built a slide without the invalid response layer (slide 1.3). At this point, my brain has tried so many options and I'm not beginning to get this right. I was told to covert to Freeform - but what option? I don't see a good choice.
Any ideas? I'd sure appreciate a fix here.
A file would help . . .
Hi Susann,
I'm sure one of our community members will be happy to chime in with a possible solution to your design inquiry. As for the 'Answer layer' appearing whenever the submit button is clicked, one way to prevent this from happening is to add conditions to your triggers.
Hope this helps!
Yes indeed, Joe,
That is definitely a key item to this interaction. I also learned to add a similar trigger to the Invalid Response layer to show the layer if all objects are in the Normal, unclicked state.
Now my interaction works perfectly.
Thanks much for your help!
Smiles,
Susann
