States issue
Hello,
Im having some issues with image states in several projects. They are set to be disabled on a slide until the timeline reaches a cue point or a checkbox is selected. I also have a menu wi...
If the Slide Properties are set to "Rest to initial state," well, the program will revert objects to their initial state.
To ensure proper control, use a trigger with a condition that checks the value of a variable.
- Create a T/F variable with a default value of False.
- Add the trigger(s) to change the variable to True when appropriate. For example, this could happen when the timeline ends or when the user clicks the appropriate button(s).
- Add a trigger that either sets the object to Disabled or to Normal based on the value of the variable. That trigger would look something like this:
FYI: The "Else" option isn't available unless the first part of the trigger has at least one condition.
For more info:
Thanks for the clarification on the "else" option and the info references, Judy!
I actually have the initial states set to disabled so they should go back to that state when the slide restarts. This set up has worked for me on many other projects without involving variables, but that does seem like something I could try as well. Thank you!
