Tooltips

Hi Victor:

I disagree (slightly) with your assertion that Khaja's example doesn't have tooltips.

In the strictest sense of the word, your statement is true.  However, the basic truth is ToolTips are an example of a Microsoft Windows Control, and are not likely available for easy Insertion into Storyline projects as a result of a number of different reasons.

That said, it is not hard to create a ToolTip manually.

Echoing what Walt said earlier:

1. Add a Shape (Object) to a Slide, you wish the user to interact with. 

This doesn't have to be a Shape per se.  For example, it could also be a Text Box.

2. Create another separate Shape to act as the displayed ToolTip that results when you mouse over the Object created in Step 1. 

Typically this is a Rectangle, that could be changed to look more like a (perfect, if you create and hold the SHIFT button on the keyboard down while sizing) Square.

2a. Change the formatting and characteristics of the ToolTip, to make it look like a ToolTip.  

Microsoft, for example, has plenty of ToolTip resources on docs.microsoft.com that discuss these aspects in detail.  Primarily, I would suggest looking at the colors and formatting, to ensure your shape looks as much like a Windows-style ToolTip as much as possible.

3. Change the default characteristics of the ToolTip Shape from Normal to Hidden.

You do not want the ToolTip Shape to always display while your project is running.  To ensure this, change its initial default state to Hidden.  Repeat this for all ToolTip Shapes you need to create in your Slide(s).

4. Add a trigger to the Interactive Object created in Step 1 to enable MouseOver functionality that changes the state of the ToolTip Shape to Normal, and ensure that it changes back when you MouseOut.

Hope this helps!
