Thanks Bruce, I am / have reviewed the tutorials but I only see that you can change the state with a trigger - button. I just want state of the character to change from one state to another in sync with my narration?
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm guessing you could have different states for your character, then add cuepoints to your timeline, and set triggers for those cuepoints?
If you have the seek bar that might or might not work like you expect....
Bruce, thanks perfect! I understand it completely and hope other beginners will review your attachment.
I would not have guessed to add the same character multiple times in different poses. I added cue points as one user suggested but don't understand how to add a trigger to the object that links to the cue points.
Please note that I TRIED to have all the states in one timeline or row vs. adding the character multiple times in different poses.

I hope not too many people view that
Cue points are very useful - they just allow you to sit there poking the "C" button, making markers on where things happen.

Hi Kevin welcome to Heroes, and I hope you have fun with SL before you get that job.
You can really change poses in a variety of ways, you can do either of the ways you suggest, or by pressing buttons etc.
If you build in PowerPoint 1st you may be disappointed as not everything will convert - I would build from scratch where possible.
Not sure about "drawing function" but think not.
Text Boxes - again, many ways to make it appear - but can be done by both your ways suggested.
Best think IMHO to do is to go to http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/articulate-storyline.aspx and start to create a copy of something you already have, or something you have REALLY always wanted to do - have fun with it.
Once again - welcome, and I hope things work out for you REAL soon.
Best wishes.

Have a look at the attached, somewhat disturbing .story file vignette to see how you use the timeline to synch stuff with your voice

Hi Kevin, you can add an off stage shape at certain points on the timelinee then add triggers to change state of when that objects timeline starts
...and just before Phil says it - no that is definitely not me talking.
At all.
Ever.

cue points cannot have triggers, you can add a shape at a cue point and use the timelinestart fr that shape trigger

Ah my misunderstanding. I figured cue points would allow for triggers. Seems like a good feature request....
