Can I change the state of a scrolling pane?

Hi Julie,

Not really - layers are best:

Thanks Bruce for helping Julie out here! 

Thanks for the info, Bruce.

That leaves me in a bit of a bind since I already use the layers in most of my slides.  I suppose I can add it to all the layers on every slide, but that seems like a lot.  I keep thinking there must be a better way!

Here's something I'm playing with.  I save the text box that contains the closed captioning as a Picture.  That way, I can hide it and only show when the user clicks the "closed captioning" button.  I can't hide the scrolling bar, but it is off to the right and appears as part of my overall navigation, so it seems to work fairly well.  By doing it this way, I can still use my layers for animations and other interactions.  

Closed Captioning Off and On images:

Thanks for sharing Julie!

May I ask why you can't toggle the visibility of a scroll container? It seems like an easy feature to add, which would also increase the usability of your product.

For example: I have a scene, in that scene are three tabs that toggle layers. In one of those layers are four images. Clicking each image would update header/body copy of varying lengths below said images. The easiest way to do this would be to contain the header/body copy for that image in its own scroll container and hiding the scroll containers not related to that clicked image.

The way it is set up now I have to hide each and every header/body text field. When a user clicks an image I have to show the relevant header/body text and manually hide the other ones.

Please consider this a feature request.

Thanks.

Hi Justin, 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here in terms of a feature request, and you'll also want to send them along here if you didn't do so already. 

Thank you, Ashley. I've made the official request, along with five other things that I feel would enhance the usability of your product. Thank you for responding.

Thanks Justin - the more information we have about what you need/want to see - the better it is! So keep the feature requests coming. :-) 

I've submitted a feature request as well. Creating layers in my case (toggling text boxes on and off) is an unnecessary burden and really complicates what should be a simple change state. ::fingers crossed::

Thanks Bobbi for sharing your thoughts in the feature request - if there is anything else we can assist with please let us know. 

I'm having the same issue with using a scrolling pane for transcript text - and I'm using layers as well, so its just frustrating I can't 'hide' the pane.

Would love to hear when this feature is finally available.

Hi Ashley,

I see it's a couple years or more since someone requested to have this feature added. I have 360 and still cannot change the state of a scroll panel. Any updates yet on this? Thank you.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for reaching out again in this forum discussion. There isn't a change to the scrolling panels to allow them to have states yet. I would love to have a little more detail about how you'd like to use the states setting with the scrolling panels so that our team can use that as they look towards continued improvements in Articulate 360. Any examples or mock ups you're able to share would be great too - and you can always share those here but you can also submit them on this feature request form.  Hope you're enjoying Articulate 360!
