Flashing circle that needs to have other states

Nov 05, 2012

I have a new challenge in Articulate Storyline.

I've been given this menu with a flashing white circle telling the student which section is next.

The customer would like to have the same in Storyline.

I think that, as the circle must have different states (normal, hover, visited) is not possible to have this flashing effect, but I'm not sure about it.

I'll appreciate to know if it isn't really possible, so I search for other workarounds.

Thank you very much!!

I would recommend against that but there are ways to acchieve this

you could create a swf in presenter and publish that out, or just put a marker in there instead. or a video of a flashing dot

Thank you Phil.

The thing is that the output should be seen in iPod, iPad, so I think it can't be a swf??

I'll try with a marker... but in fact if you don't recommend it I think it's not a good idea... I'll try to look for other solutions instead.

Thank you very much!

You could create an animated gif, I just dislike flashing objects on slides

Animated GIF's work pretty well in states.
