Hi there! In this video we’ll 
be talking about multi state  

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,640
object in InDesign, so let’s get started.

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,680
You’ll find that I have this document with half 
text, and half empty space. It’s because in the  

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,320
empty space I’m going to insert images on top 
of each other, so let’s place those images.  

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,480
Let’s go to file, and then place, and 
locate the images on the computer,  

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:38,640
and hit open. Once my cursor is loaded, I’m going 
to click and drag to restrict my images within the  

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,360
margins. Once all the images are placed, go to 
object states. If you can’t find this option,  

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,400
go to window, and then interactive, 
and select object states from there.  

9
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,840
Let’s click the object states panel to 
populate it, and then click the small  

10
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,240
plus button at the bottom of the object 
states panel. You’ll find the objects,  

11
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,960
which in our case are the images, populating 
already. Let’s rename our object name to ‘bikes.’

12
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Now we need a button to trigger the 
slides, and for that I’ve already  

13
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,440
got this button downloaded, so 
let’s place it at the bottom.

14
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,560
With the button selected, let’s open the 
buttons and forms panel. From the type dropdown,  

15
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:31,120
let’s select button. Let’s also rename our button 
‘clickme’, and the event should be ‘on click.’  

16
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,280
Click the plus button to add the action that you 
want to associate with the click of the button,  

17
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,800
so let’s click ‘go to next state’, because 
that’s exactly what we want the button to do,  

18
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,880
so the moment we click it, it should 
bring the next image, and then the next,  

19
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,560
and so on. If you want the image shuffle 
to stop at last state, or last image,  

20
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,760
check the box that says ‘stop at last state’, but 
since we don’t want it to stop at the last image,  

21
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,560
we’re going to let it remain unchecked, so 
that it runs on a loop, which means once  

22
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,000
the shuffle reaches the last image, clicking 
the button should take us to the first image.

23
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,600
After you’ve set the button, let’s click 
the play button at the bottom left corner  

24
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,920
of the buttons and forms panel, to preview 
it on epub interactivity preview. Clicking  

25
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,040
the button should take you to the next object, or 
image, and once you reach the last one, it should  

26
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,000
bring the first one, and the loop continues. 
So guys that’s multi state object in InDesign.

27
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Alright guys! That brings us 
to the close of this session,  

28
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:43,440
and I should see you in the next 
one, in just a bit. Good bye!
