I have a wide figure - can I have the scroll bar on the bottom of a slide?

Have you considered putting it in web object? Scroll bars will be automatically added as needed.

No I have not. I'll look up how to add a web object to my slide.

I thought I could just rotate the existing scroll bar from the right side of the screen to the bottom - NO?

Veronica,

Please see this.

You beat me to sharing that link Seth - thanks.

Also Veronica, just an FYI responding via email includes your signature here in the forums which are public. You are welcome to edit the post to remove that information if you wish but it's ok to stay on our account. 

Hello Ashley!

Thank you for your tip about my signature - I don't mind leaving it the way it is for now.

I attempted Seth's procedure to rotate the scroll bar. I'm not sure if it worked since I didn't publish the slide yet. I'll do that today. I was also thinking of using panels or web object if the rotation procedure fails. I'm thinking that using panels would be better for maintenance reasons - someone else editing this slide in the future will have difficulty accessing the content if it has been rotated.

Thanks everyone for your assistance. I'm on the way to finding a solution.

Cheers,

I'm not sure what you meant by panels - but if someone else will have to edit in future, I'd look at the web object - that way they could edit the HTML page where the web object exists and as long as the link isn't changed, then you won't have to update the Storyline file. You may want to instruct users to clear the cache to ensure it'll load a new copy of the web object - but this way is less editing in the Storyline file. 

Thank you again for the tip.

The panel idea came from responses written after the procedure to rotate the scroll bar. The idea is to cut the figure into pieces and to add navigation buttons on the bottom to move through the slide left to right and back.

I'll try to figure out the web object idea next and then panels to see, which option looks best for our purposes.

Ah, got it Veronica - in the other thread. Got a little confused - but it sounds like you've got a few options to investigate so best of luck with those!
