Slide does not respond as per set triggers
Mirjam,
I can help you with your issues.
1. The textbox doesn't appear because of a combination of issues. The text box has an animation, but the button also shows a layer, which is set to pause the base timeline:
The timeline is stopped before the textbox can fade in far enough to be seen. The next time a button is clicked, the timeline of the base has finished. There is no timeline for the layer to interrupt, so the textboxes continue to fade in. Deselect this setting, and they will fade in the first time.
2 - 3. Two and three are the same problem, The second button does not hide textbox 1; it hides the environmental liability box:
4. The fourth issue is probably the most serious, although the results are not obvious. It is these triggers:
The built-in states (like Selected) all have super powers. Selected's superpower is that when an object with a Selected state is clicked, it automatically changes to the Selected state. When clicked again, it turns to Normal state. It is not merely that these triggers are a waste of time, there is something more sinister at work. When you write a trigger that duplicates the superpower, it causes interference, which may cause results that are spectacular, but seldom desirable. The built-in state takes great offense at you messing with it, and seeks unpredictable revenge. At the very least, you need to remove those triggers, but I would make another change. Should the learner click the button a second time, it turns back to Normal. If you use Visited state, once clicked it remains in the visited state even when clicked again. If that is what you want, Edit states, choose Selected, duplicate it and name it Visited. Then delete Selected, and don't write triggers to change to Visited. It will do that automatically.
The sample I attached doesn't have the questions, because I had trouble getting them to upload.
