On-demand menu for mobile player courses
May 03, 2012
Does anyone have suggestions about providing an on-demand menu for courses running on iPad via the mobile player? Since the mobile player doesn't recognize tabs placed in the topbar, I'm burning brain cells trying to pinpoint a way to provide a slide-out menu that behaves like the regular Storyline menu - i.e., visited topics are displayed in a different color. The same question goes for setting up a slide-out Glossary.
My development group is trying to steer clear of using a left sidebar. Right now everything I've considered will require a fair amount of manual labor.
Any ideas, brilliant people?

You could use a lightbox slide. You will have to build states for each visited slide and use variables, its not an easy one.
Or using the same idea you could use a slide master and add a layer with your menu on, seperate states for each controlled via a t/f variable for each. Again it is a bit o work. But will do what you want
Thanks, Phil - that's pretty much what I'd come up with thus far. At least I know I'm not barking up the wrong tree!
Good idea for a free give away template to help get started.
Here's a good example of a custom menu/player. That may inspire some ideas.
Could do this using the master slide as well. Triggering master slide layers will cause them to jump above the rest of your base slide and slide layers.
Wow, cool example, Tom - thanks for sharing the link!
About a free giveaway template - a big thumbs-up to that. And Steve, good point about using the master slide.
Thank goodness for this forum!
