I am currently working on a project in Storyline 2 which involves using a slider. For some odd reason every time I land on the number zero of the slider, it's hard to re-position my mouse to move the slider thumb. The slider thumb seems to work fine when it lands on other components of the slider. Not sure if this could be the issue, but I replaced the slider thumb with a picture/image. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this issue?
I don't see a problem with it, it is odd that the slide drops below 0 and that there are steps where things don't happen, but works fine in preview and in html5 version
In Storyline 2 Preview, I'm seeing the same issue you described. It seems the "0" textboxes on both the baselayer and layer 0 somehow overlap the slider thumb. If I turn both these textboxes off, it works as expected. I would try and replace these two textboxes.
Really? I still think it's a little bit off. When the slider thumb is on 0, and I hover my mouse to the center of the slider thumb image, it is harder to adjust my mouse to move the slider thumb, in comparison to the other numbers/shapes.
Also, thanks for pointing out the steps situation. Do you know a better way to make it so that every time I move the slider thumb, it only takes one step to move to the next number/shape, so that I could avoid landing on areas where nothing happens? The reason for the number of steps in the slider, is so that the slider thumb would fall on the shapes in between the numbers. But if you have any suggestions of how to program it, I would greatly appreciate your help! And by the way, thanks for your prompt reply!
Alright, so this is what I did. I hid the 0 text boxes on both the base layer and the 0 layer, and then added a new 0 text box to both those layers. Oddly, this method seems to work, and the slider thumb is now easily accessible. Thanks a lot for your help Michael!
