I was looking at a gym website and thought this page was quite a neat idea:
http://www.reebokclub.co.uk/personal-training
So I decided to try and turn it into a Storyline story. I've attached my attempt. I'm sure there are probably neater/better ways of achieving this so any suggestions/improvements welcomed - just thought I'd share it in case anyone finds it useful.
NB: I haven't added in the 'more' information pages at this point.
Cheers,
Greg

Really nice Greg! Thanks for sharing here!
My only thought is if I click on a particular person - there is no way to get to any of the people who appear behind the information pop up? Maybe a simple close button or a way when the hover off of a particular area that layer closes?
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your comments. I put transparent shapes over the box containing the text so you can still access the characters 'hidden' beneath the box containing text. This did stump me for a while as I wanted to keep it as close as possible to the original but overlaying transparent shapes seemed to do the trick. Of course this isn't directly obvious but nor is it in the original website (you can just see the names under the text box) so I think it would require a level of intuition (or instruction!)...
I first tried this using states with the text appearing as a hover state but I encountered issued due to the hover state appearing behind actual slide objects...hence why I ended up with layers and lots of state change triggers!
It does seem to work ok but of course as always with these things they can be improved!
Hi Greg -
I had the same thoughts as Ashley. Great design and concept. I did find myself wanting a close button on the information pop up but quickly figured out just clicking on another area would close it.
Some ideas to consider:
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

IT is a nice idea and well implemented. It prefer the way you deal with the bottom row instead of the web version.
I would set it so clicking on the caption hides it rather than opens the next person, really nice idea, thanks
That's very nice design, Greg
Love when this old threads keep inspiring others Joanna :)
