Highlighting in assessment simulations
Nov 19, 2012

hi all,
Apologies if this is very obvious but just wondered if others had this problem. it possible to stop storyline from highlighting clickable areas in assessments? I am developing a simulation of a new product that helps users to search for documents. The problem is that when I run the simulation, the clicakable area is already highlighted so the learner can see straight away where they have to click without even looking - is there a simple way around this?
thanks in advance

Hey Pat,
I don't think I'm quite clear on exactly what you're hoping for. Any chance you could attach a screenshot or screencast of what you're describing?
Hi Pat,
yes there is a way of doing this. Yet it is not as straight forward as you might think.
Assume the picture hereafter is the one you want to have the highlights disappear
Click on the little arrow in the record screen
Select action fine tuning
The 2 bars allow you to crop out the part where the hightlights appear.
Try it out, it doesn't allways work from the first time (frustration) yet this is the way to do it.
May the force be with you young Pat O'conner

great, thanks Geert - i will give that a try
you would make a fine starship commander
Hi It is now the year 2020. Can I change the colour of all the highlights after recording a simulation or do I stilll have to change each one individually on all of my 200 slides?
Many thanks

Hi Harry,
This discussion covers how to use Action Fine Tuning to edit the background and animation that occurs during the screen recording.
Can you provide a screenshot or video of what you're looking to change the color of? This will help me get a better idea of what you're referring to, thanks!
Thanks.
This article was extremely helpful.
I am now trying to simulate a "Right Mouse Click in my simulation but
cannot get one.
Is there anything to help me do this?
Your help is so greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Harry
Hi Harry!
You can either add a trigger that includes When the user right-clicks, or include a right-click during the screen recording.
Here's what the right-click trigger looks like:
