Button states at Master Slide levels
Hi community,
I have been trying for a while to make button states work correctly when using then at master slide level. The issue is that sates are not fully working for me. E.g. the selected s...
The "selected" state will never show because you are leaving the slide where you "selected" the button and going to a new slide.
Essentially, that button you clicked is now gone, replaced by a new instance of it.
This is how the Master slide works - it isnt a continuous slide that exists throughout your whole course. Its a background, so each time you change slide you update the whole slide (including the master)
Solutions:
- I would put a new trigger "when timeline starts" on the Master slide, and set the state of the clicked button to "selected".
You could get fancy here by using variables, which would make your trigger conditions very straightforward to set.
- you could use lightboxes for your slides, this would mean your Master isnt reset
- you could use the "visited" states. That might work?
- you could use the actual Menu of storyline, or the actual Glossary! :)
