I designed and set up interactions for a horizontal scrolling section of a webpage before turning it into a component set. It has a timed horizontal 5-second scroll and any item within the frame you click on will be scrolled to.


Before component-izing the frames, I dropped in the “starting point” frame, which worked like a charm on my page. After I created the component set from the frames, the Prototype view still shows the many interactions I added, but none of them are working.


Even the 5-second timed scroll interaction I added simply isn’t going. It’s as if creating the component set shadow-deleted all my interactions while the UI is telling me they’re still there.


I’m at my wits end; I’ve tried everything I can think of and nothing is working.




This is a screenshot of the available interactions within the prototype presentation view. None of the interactions I have set up are showing up in the prototype.


Alright, I finally solved it.


All of my interactions had been Click → Navigate to: :Frame].


Since creating a component set technically deleted all the “frames” and instead turned them into variants of the same component, those Navigate to: eFrame] interactions weren’t being recognized by Figma and became null.


I had to manually change every interaction to Change to: nVariant] instead. It’d be nice if Figma automatically converted all of those interactions when creating a component set.
