Drag and Drop - Within a Box
Feb 17, 2017

Hi everybody, I'm relatively new to Storyline so still trying to work a few things out...
I'm trying to create a very basic scrollbar of my own style which runs horizontally rather than vertically (I've only got 2 "pages"), and using the drag and drop feature. The only problem is that of course, the bar can be moved anywhere on the screen, when I want to restrict its movement to the scroll box.
Is there a way to restrict a drag and drop item's movement?

Which version of Storyline are you using? If you are using SL2 or later you could try using a slider.
Hey John, welcome to Heroes!
Here's a trick for rotating a scrolling panel, and if you'd like to try your hand at using a Slider like Michael suggested, here are a few creative examples of that. Good luck, and let us know if you need any help along the way!
Hi Michael and Alyssa, thanks for your input - didn't know about the sliders! (It's Storyline 2)
I was hoping to try and create a scrollbar which would fit with the style of the course overall (perhaps changing the look of a slider as demonstrated in a couple of the examples which Alyssa shared) but I think that's beyond the limits of S2.
Hey John, this sounds like something you should be able to accomplish using Storyline 2. Perhaps you could share a demo file of what you've got going so far, and folks in the community can lend a hand with the design.
Thanks for the offer Alyssa, but I think I've figured it out now after downloading one of the examples and studying the formatting.
Ok great! Good luck, and reach out if you have any more questions!
