Issue: Change Object State Doesn’t Work on Master Layout Objects

ActivePresenter Support Questions

Hi ActivePresenter Team,

I added an image to the Master Layout in my ActivePresenter project. I also created an extra state for this image. On my slide, I have a button (set as Top Player) and I want to change the state of that Master image when the button is clicked using Change Object State. However, it doesn’t work.

How can I achieve this?

Hi,

In Slide Master, you should use a placeholder (Insert Placeholder > Image) in this example. That way, when you insert a new slide, you can edit the image. If you insert an image directly into the Slide Master, it will blend into the background and cannot be edited in Normal View.

Also, the button is set to play over multiple slides, while the image is on a single slide. Since they are not on the same layer, you cannot assign an event action to both. Actions can only be added to objects on the same layer.

Best regards,
