Hi all,

Just working on a tab layout (fluid box) and would like to include hyperlinks in one of smartshape states.

I noticed that the hyperlink option was not available (properties). However when in state view and the text selected I can right click and then I can add a hyperlink. It appears to be added correctly however when I went to preview the course, the multi state slide (11.5 naming protocol) updates the buttons show that they have clicked but the state of the smartshape doesn’t change.

I then realised that the states would change to other states that didn’t contain a hyperlink so I removed the hyperlink from the other state and then it all worked.

Is this a known issue that hyperlinks to other slides can’t be included in states and then used in conjunction with the 11.5 update naming protocol?

Thank you in advance

Sam

I hope you can find a workaround. You can show a hyperlink button with the same action which changes the state of the object. Of course, if it is Fluid boxes you could bump on the stack limitation.

You cannot add interactive objects to states, that is not a bug (has always been the case) but one of the limtitations of states. A hyperlink may not  be viewed as an interactive object but has almost all the features of a button. Have a look at. I will post a oouple of links in a separate comment.
