It may help if you could point to an example of what you'd like to see.
Also, I'd also suggest reaching out in theBuilding Better Courses side of ELH and see if there is anyone who can help! That side tends to focus more on design and how to.
The only way I've seen that done is a web object where the image is wider and taller than the container. That would automatically create the scroll bars.
Keep us posted what you come up with in case it helps others in the community!
I am trying to get both the horizontal and the verticalscroll bars at the same time. I need this for building an eLearn for some policies.
I wasn't able to insert any table as a part of the scroll bar. And, I changed this table to an image but as this image is wider I would also need a horizontal scroll bar now.
I know it has been 2 years to this post. I wanted to know if there has been any luck in building the same. Please suggest. Thank you!
We don't currently offer a horizontal scrolling panel in Storyline 360. As you can see, many community members have created workarounds that are definitely worth checking out.
In the meantime, I'll add your comments to our current feature report.
Dear Lauren, We would highly appreciate a feature for horizontal and vertical scrolling instead of workarounds. We have numerous exercises with large images and it is not possible to create a separate HTML file per each to embed them as a web object.
Thanks for reaching out! Horizontal scrolling is not a feature we've added to Storyline yet, but we have a report of folks who have requested it, and I can add you to that. Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.
This... like other Storyline features that I have requested seem like they would have been added. Feature requests seem useless at this point given that I have put in tons of great ideas that seem to have been discussed for over 5 years now...
This request is similar to another issue I am trying to figure out a work-around for without adding a stupid amount of time: Zooming and self-navigation of images much like you would with something like: https://zoom.it/ or as you tend to view a PDF. I landed on this thread because the zoom image features of Storyline don't really allow for a self navigation of a blown up image without custom programming the interaction. I thought that I could perhaps find an easy work-around with a scrolling panel.. but alas this too is limited to only vertical navigation.
I have a ton of images that require this sort of interactivity for training technicians and doctors to read x-rays and other body imaging and art historians who want to zoom in and browse artworks, playground inspectors who need to hone inspection skills. The possibilities are really there and every time I have to jump back into storyline for a client, I get ready for the frustration at the apathy Articulate shows toward actually making a product that can compete.
Yes... I have an answer to my problem that seems to crop up in this forum and others, which is to host material outside of the SCORM packaging and embed it within the Storyline presentation. This is not a clean solution as embedding the interaction within the package would result in a cleaner and more resilient final product.
