Working with States
A radio button object comes with 8 built-in states. They control its look when users interact with it.
- Normal (Default): This is the initial state when it first appears in the output.
- Hover: The state when users hover the mouse over it.
- Pressed: The state when users click on it.
- Disabled: The state when it is disabled. In this state, it is still visible to users, but they cannot interact with it.
- Normal Checked, Hover Checked, Press Checked, Disabled Checked: These are the states of selected checkboxes or radio buttons.
You can customize those built-in states or add more states if necessary.
For more information, see How to Change States of Objects.

These objects don’t have actions when you first use them, unlike some others. But if you add feedback messages, SmartTutor 360 will automatically create actions to show the message when needed.
On Check | Occur when users uncheck it. |
On Uncheck | Occur when users check it. |
On Timeout | Occur when users don’t respond within the specified time. |
On Mouse Enter: | Occur when the mouse rolls over it. |
On Mouse Leave | Occur when the mouse rolls out of it. |
