Selected state deselecting when I move my mouse

Hello.

When I click on an object it selects it, but when I move my mouse away, it is no longer selected. 

Kindly advise me on the objects in slide 1 of the attachment.

Thank you.

    Hover and Selected are built-in states that are called automatically, there is no need for triggers. You can delete all of them.

  • Hi Iffaf. As you'll see in the attached copy of your project file, I disabled all the state change triggers as these were performing the same actions that Storyline's built-in or default states perform. That is to say, if you create a Hover state for an object, then there is no need to create a trigger telling Storyline that the Hover state should be applied to that object in the case of a mouse over (if you want the object to change to the Hover state by some other action...like when the user clicks another object...then yes, such a trigger is needed). The same goes for the Selected state: Once created, Storyline doesn't need a dedicated trigger to have the object change to Selected when it is clicked.
