Creating an accordion interaction
Hello Adrian Thinkaway​ . It's me again. Once again, I didn't understand anything in the file. 😀 It's so unnecessarily complicated that it's a crime. Frankly, apart from proving that it's possible, it's of no interest.
Unless you want to understand it (you should always be curious), I suggest an ultra-simplified version (it took me 10 minutes to make) with... layers.In this specific case, to reproduce your screen exactly, you don't need anything else. The advantage is that you can easily access your layers (not the states of text boxes stacked on top of each other) and change their content if necessary, which is the most important thing.
First, preview the second screen of the attached file. If it meets your expectations, take a look inside.No variables, no complicated states, only 6 triggers (or 12 if you want advanced navigation), and it's impossible to make a mistake! You can add 10 more layers if you want.
I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
Thinkaway​ Great! Thank you for letting me know that the solution is suitable. Happy for you. The simplest is the smartest.
Thanks again! Hopefully I'm allowed to ask this here but do you do any freelancing work around Storyline? The reason I ask is, I'm largely self-taught (which is why I keep finding my way to complicated samples that are posted online!) But I'm keen to get in touch with someone that understands simple and clean ways to build interactions in Storyline - to help us out by building a few templates (this would be freelance paid work of course!). If that's something you'd be interested chatting about - you can get in touch with us via our website http://www.thinkaway.com.au No worries if not, but thought it would be work asking! :-D
