Storyline state trigger delay when timeline starts

Hello

I’ve searched everywhere for this and can’t find any answers. 

I have a shape that changes state when the timeline starts but the issue is that there’s a slight delay in it happening so it’s visible to the user. It might only be for less than 1 second but I want to know if there’s anything I can do to make it instant. 

I have to do it this way as the state is triggered from a variable that might have executed on a different slide. 
Thank you.

  • If you have slide transition the triggers always fire after the transition.

      Yes I think this is most likely the answer, but I don't think I can avoid it.  I'll have a think and may just leave it. Thanks.

  • Forget the states. Use several images and use Gsap or javascript to show the aprpriate one.

      Not quite sure what you mean with your comments but thank you.  I think the answer is that it takes place after a slide transition which I can't avoid.

        Transitions can cause issues. Add a delay of the same length as your transition to a trigger enkeling your button.
