Two triggers on one object?

I have a related problem. It seems I can't get two triggers working on a picture - I have to use a hotspot every time. It just feels as if that's the hard way to do it, and I want to know if there's an easier way.

Specifically, I am using six checkmark buttons surrounding an image on the base layer. I have created six additional layers, each with a text box to go with one of the six buttons.

What I want to happen is for the image's state to change (I've created a state that's 80% transparent), and for the text in each layer to show right over the picture. So, I want my first trigger to change the state of the picture and my second trigger to display the layer with the text. However, only the first trigger is working. (I've also tried reversing them, but it didn't make any difference.)

Is a hotspot the only answer, or am I missing something?

Thanks!
