Newbie to Storyline......can someone tell me where to look or provide some tips in creating a drop down box, similar to a filter box in excel that would allow me to choose between a list of user names or a series of numbers.
You could also build a drop menu using shapes and triggers with different states. I've attached a rough example of how you can build one below. Once it's built, you can use the buttons as triggers to call up specific information in other layers, states, or even use variables.
Wendy-
Is there a way to override the 1-1 sequence to drop menu format of the question? That would save so much trouble from the above, I just couldn't get it going.
Update: provided a more put-together example with some variations
There isn't a way to override the basic formatting and functionality of the sequence drop down set up. So if you've got a custom method that is working for you - that would be the best option going forward.
Hi, Ray -- Looks like you have received a lot of great feedback, but as you mentioned you new to using Storyline, I also wanted to share a moment to some general info on Getting Started with Articulate 2. And this link will provideeven more details on everything that you can do once you become a bit more familiar. Please let us know if you need anything further! :)

Hi Ray
you could use the quiz template for sequence drop down - that may work for you.
Insert > New slide > Quizzing > Graded > Sequence Drop-down

Nice solution, Bill. I'm saving that for future reference.
