Absolute dimension of slides and positioning objects on a slide

Hello,

I came across the discussion about the maximum size of images that are supported by Articulate Storyline (1, 2, or 3), which is 2048 px. I learned that lesson when I was dealing with some very long images in a scroll panel. I thought that I would get clever and chop the images into chunks that are at their maximum 2048 px in height. Inside the scroll panel, I manually typed in the vertical position that would allow my sequential images to appear stitched together.

At a quick glance, it seemed that everything was fine, but when I double-checked the final product, I noticed that my images were not positioned properly. They were much higher up than they should have been. I paid more attention to the value of the vertical position and it was resetting to 4000 px if I tried to exceed it.

I thought that was odd, so I did a little bit more testing. It turns out that +/-4000 px, both horizontally and vertically, are the maximum dimensions of any slide.

Now, you can cheat a little, because those values affect the position of the top-left corner (according to my tests). So, you could have an image with 2048 px of height at 4000 px vertical position inside of a scroll panel. That means that you can exceed the maximum dimensions of the slide (sort of).

What prompted my design choice of the scroll panel, was to simulate a webpage with a long list of names of contacts according to different business pillars. Now, I need to come up with a different solution.

I just thought that I would share this discovery, because I did not find any values listed in other discussions that combined both pieces together.

Thank you.
