Component States Not Applying

When I try to create text carousels and image carousels, my new component states aren't "sticking". If I make a secondary state and adjust the horizontal location of my carousel, the default state shows that adjustment too. I'm really frustrated because other components of mine are working, including a sliding button that does have a shape that moves horizontally.

I've tried putting transparent and opaque shapes behind my moving images/text to see if it was just those specific text boxes or images. I've tried pasting all of my images as one file instead of a group. Nothing works. I've inserted a gif below showing what I've described, and how after the adjustment, no changes are shown.

You're moving the component itself, not the things inside the component. Double-click to go into the component and then move the items (on one of the states) and then it should work.

Hi!

 

I have a similar problem which makes me sooo frustrated. I change the states and it doesn't work. The flag I add to the state, applies also to the default state. Please see the recording. I very much hope in your help. Thank you!!

You can change the visibility of the flags between each state.
