I have an animation with a voice overlay. The animation script is placed in a scrolling panel next to animation. As animation unfolds I want scrolling panel to slowly scroll upwards in sync with script.
There is not a way to do this with Storyline's built in scrolling panel - but perhaps a user in the community has some suggestions on ways you could set this up - so hopefully they can chime in here.
Depending on what your layout looks like, you could create a "window" that would mask off the screen, allowing you to move the script up behind the other elements, so that they are only visible while in the window. But, the panel would be non-functional (the user would not be able to scroll; it would only scroll with the animation), kind of a pain to set up unless you have a very simple layout, and in my opinion, not really worth it (at least the way I'm thinking of doing it).
Personally, I'd just use a text box that changes text in time with the animation. Then, you could add forward/back buttons to page through the text, giving the user some control. You'll also save yourself an incredible headache.
Awesome Alphonso and thanks for the update. Learn something new every day - thanks for linking to that blog David. We're big fans of Yukon obviously. :-)

Hi Alphonso,
Weird that you should ask this as I just read a blog post by Ron Price of Yukon Learning (official Articulate certified trainers in the US).
Check out this Ron's post.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Ashley and Ryan for your comments. I went with David's lead (Ron Price) in the end, who offered a simple to execute solution.
Just demonstrates once again how powerful this forum really is.
