Using a trigger to start an animation?
I thought I could use a trigger to play an animation, but I'm not seeing it as an option.
I'm trying to have an exit animation play before a layer is hidden when user clicks the "X".
Turns out that to make the object animate on hover, you need to make a copy of the object within the state after creating the hover state (or at least that's the only way I could make it happen), and then add the enter animation to that copy within the hover state. Phil, it looks like that's how you did it as well.
Jeni, I replaced your icons with images that are not transparent in the middle, as the base icon shone through under the animation. But they do have the hover animation working. Also, had to ungroup the icons from the main group, as otherwise, the hover animation was triggered by hovering anywhere over the group. Lastly, I had to shorten the length of the icons on the timeline, because otherwise the hover state was triggered again after clicking them because the mouse was still there.
