HELP! Adding multiple triggers within a scrolling panel

Hi Jeanne,

Have you tried putting a transparent shape over the text and then have the layer triggered from the shape.  That way the user will actually select the shape when they think they are clicking the text.

Just create the shape and have the outline and fill set to none.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Andrew

Well, in the case of a scrolling panel, the text moves as the learner scrolls.  But, the transparent shape, or "hotspot", is stationary. 

Hi Jeanne,

Probably didn't go into enough detail for you.

You need to insert the shape and ensure it is part of the scroll panel and it will work.

I have attached an example for you.

I have changed the font of the link text and underlined myself and then have the transparent shape that when selected will display a layer.  Or you could have it trigger other things as well etc.

Cheers

Hi Jeanne,

Did you have any success with the example I provided?

Hi Andrew,

Yes!  Thank you for the example.  I did misunderstand, so thanks for going into greater detail.  I couldn't get the shape to embed in the scroll panel properly, but I placed the hidden rectangles over the text and then grouped the text box and two rectangles.  Then I put the whole group in the scrolling panel and it works.

Thanks so much!

Jeanne

Hi Jeanne,

No problem, happy to help as I had the same issue when first using scroll panels.

It is a bit tricky as the software doesn't clearly indicate you have it in the scroll bar unless you look down in the timeline and all objects are contained in the scroll bar.

Grouping is a great idea to make it easier to get the objects into the scroll bar at once.  I may use that trick in the future.

Cheers

I was also going to suggest grouping. I would create the text box, position my hot spots over the appropriate text, add the triggers to the hotspots and then group all this together before moving the group into the scrolling panel.

Hey Heros,

I went through the tips on transcript. great !

Now, i have a query, that i want the transcript to appear in the slide along with the voice over. 

for example, in the attached mp3, the text is "Take a look at this table, to see the e-learning fundamentals"

So  I need the transcript text  to split up and appearing the transcript box such that “Take a look at this table” should come first.

 Then when the voice over for the same ends, that text should go from the transcript box and then the text  “to see e-learning fundamentals” should appear along with its voice over.

 I am not using articulate transcript function to write text, instead I would like to use  a customized text box.

Could u please help

Hi Athira, 

This thread is a bit older, so I'm not certain that folks are still subscribed. Have you looked at setting up the transcript items on a layer and triggering it to be shown based on reaching a particular point in the timeline or a cue point that matches your audio timing? I'm not sure I understand your set up entirely, but if you're able to share a bit more information or even a sample .story file with what you've got so far, staff and the community can take a look at that to weigh in. 

Dear Ashley,

I just posted a similar question in an another forum.  Please could you let me know for a solution.  Did you need me to upload the file?  Many thanks,

Indrani

Hi Indrani!

I do see the file you shared in this thread. We can keep the conversation going over there!

OK, thank you so much.
