How do I display full size document in a seperate lightbox/window?

Jun 14, 2012

Hey,

So on my slide I am showing a sample of a worksheet document.

The worksheet is actually a two page document and I would like it so that when they hover and/or click on the image of the worksheet, a lightbox, or window, opens up displaying the entire two page document - either as a PDF document or as a full size image of the two documents side by side. The full document is bigger/taller than the height of the slide.

Any tips suggestions or ideas on how I can best accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Nicole

I created a link from the image of the file and made it just open the file.  It opens it in a new window.  Is that what you mean?  Your file will need to have either a fixed path or reside in the same directory as the .story file.  I attached a small example as a zip.


Hi Brent! I'm trying to recreate this. I have a slide with a map and each segment of the map is a link to a PDF document that opens up in separate windows. How do I enter the URL/file name in the trigger? Do I need a path or can I just enter the name of the document. In Studio '09, I just entered the name of the document with no path and then placed the documents in a folder called Downloads. How does this work in SL? Thanks so much for your help!!!

Hi Deanne,

Perhaps you could create it as a separate Storyline course that is linked to and launched in a separate window? If you want to let me know what version of Storyline you're using I can include a tutorial on how to add links or embed items like a web object. You can also find all the Storyline tutorials here.
