Overlapping States
I've been noticing a randomly occurring, but frequent, issue since the newest update. On some objects, the Normal/Original state will overlap with any other state (Hover, Visited, custom states, etc...
Hi again Chantall! Thanks for sharing the .story file with us.
You have great states set up on your timeline for the Normal and Highlight states for each of the different menu options on your timeline.
However, the only triggers I see are to jump to the next slide when the menu reaches 8.5 seconds and change the state of Rectangle 19 (which is #3 on your menu) to Highlight when the Timeline reaches 3 seconds.
I tested this on my end by adding another blank side. As your trigger currently says to do, it jumps to the next slide after 8.5 seconds, even though I did not click on anything on your slide. I'm not sure if you want it to do that automatically.
Also, the highlighted state automatically overlapped over Rectangle 19 (also known as #3 on your menu) when the timeline reached 3 seconds.
I think you will want to set up a trigger to jump to the corresponding different slides when the user clicks on other menu options. This article on using Triggers in Storyline should get you started in the right direction.
If you want to use the built-in menu option in Storyline instead of a custom-made slide, you can learn more about customizing the Storyline player menu here.
