Hover State "Normal" doesn't disappear on Hover State

The best way to set this up is duplicate the normal state, call it hover then delete the object on the state then insert your shape, this is the way states were meant to work and can be frustrating

it worked!  Many thanks!

Hi Phil - I'm having the same issue but with the normal / visited states.

I duplicated the normal state, called it visited, then deleted the object and inserted the new one but in preview mode the normal object still shows behind the visited object. Any other ideas?

Hi guys,

We're having the same issue here. We tried to duplicate the Normal state, name it Hover, delete the original image, and then add the one we want to use for Hover. It looks good when moving the mouse pointer from one state to the other in the "editing mode". However, when previewing the slide, it doesn't work: the Normal image stays visible at the same time as the Hover image appears....

It seems like the "Normal" state is a base layer that stays visible when on the Hover state is shown. A trick (not very elegant) is to:

- edit the Hover state,

- add a shape with the background you need,

- add the Hover image on top of that shape

and that did the trick.

Would be nice to know if this behaviour is "as designed" or is a bug..

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem I think. I have set up a hover that changes the state of a hidden image and  shape to normal view  and it hides an existing image on the layer. In preview mode the normal and hide states work a treat when you hover over the selected area. When you mouse away the original images revert to the hidden state which is what I want. However the default image on the layer does not return. I have the "Restore on Mouse leave option" checked (have tried it not checked to no avail).

I have also tried the suggestion above about creating a different state called hover with no image but that did not work either.

Any help appreciated. 

Hi guys,

@Peter: sorry for the lack of reply, not very good of me. We ended up having to change our animation so the problem kind of disappeared.

We tried to re-create the issue this morning and couldn't really replicate it (i.e. everything works a treat) so not too sure what to make of it. Obviously happy that it works

@Greg: can you share your source file?

Tks

Shaking head in disbelief and after the weekend and a reboot of my computer.  I deleted the hover state and added it back this morning , making the image 100% transparent  and it is now working as it should. Tried this step on Friday and it wasn't working. A bit bizarre.

Hi,

I have a question about this. I was able to edit the hover state fine, delete the original object, and insert a new object. But when I go into preview mode and hover over the objects, there is a lot of flashing: the 2 states seem to be competing with each other. If I move my mouse off the object and back on the flashing goes away and the hover state object displays. Subsequently, if I move my mouse away and back it performs as expected: that is, the hover object appears when I'm hovering, the "normal" object appears when I move away, and there is no flashing.

I thought I heard or read somewhere that you may need to go in and edit the the additional state object so it is positioned at 0,0 (like the "normal" object). I did this for all 3 of my objects, but I still get flashing on one of them. How do you fix this? I've run into this before with states.

Hi,

I am getting the exact same thing as Rebecca. In preview mode if you mouse over the image it flashes as if there is a hover state on it. I also would be interested in how you fix this.
