I have a activity whereby I would like the user to be able to click a button and return a draggable image to it's original position on the slide.
I see three ways of (potentially) doing this. Have the trigger:
1) Change the image's x,y coordinates
2) Restart the slide
3) Move the slide playhead to 0
Since none of these are built in triggers, I am thinking that javascript is the way to go, however, I am unsure of what the variables (??) are for these controls. (I really don't even know JavaScript nor programming, but if I can at least find out how to control one or any of these things, then I can go from there.)
not sure if I am understanding, but did you know that there is a drag and drop option to return 'item' to start point if dropped outside target...is that where your activity is going?
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I do know about that function, and use it (for another activity). This activity allows the user to explore an image with a stethoscope (nursing students). There really isn't a correct or incorrect location. I fear that the stethoscope image will get lost in the body image, so wanted an option to click a button to return the stethoscope to its resting/original location.
I was wondering if you found a solution to your stethoscope project. I had a similar scenario, using a magnifying glass over items to "zoom in," but haven't figured out how to drag/drop the image without it locking up. I tried using "magnified" layers, but even with multiple variables, I couldn't maintain user control of the image (as closing the layers seemed to interfere with the hover states that opened the layers). Any discoveries?
