I was browsing some sites today for any design inspiration. Finally I got an idea to mix slider and a map to present some data. I picked my 5 favorite places around Bournemouth where I live.
Slider is placed vertically, so you need to move the compass north (up) and south (down) to navigate among the attractions located in different places.
Awesome combination of interactivity and design. I am getting some ideas of my own to re-create it in SL1 [without slide]. Will keep posted for the same.
Only suggestion I think might help is to split the content up into multiple slides rather than one slide with multiple layers. I have found that splitting the content up helps when troubleshooting is needed and makes it easier to expand at a later date.
I know I'm being dense, but when I download the source file and unzip it, I get a package in various folders rather than a .story file. Just wondering what I am supposed to do with this. Thanks.
David...yes I was showing you the contents of the zip file (there was no story.html file). Joanna...I renamed the .zip extension on the downloaded source file to a .story extension and it opened fine. Maybe doing that is obvious to everyone but me. Thanks for you assistance and responses.

This is amazing, Joanna! I can't wait to peek under the hood to see how you pulled it together. Gorgeous design, too!
Happy New Year!

Thank you, David.
All the best in 2015 for you and this awesome e-learning community :)
Thanks Kawstov. I'm looking forward to seeing your example :)
Nice one Joanna!
This is Great. Thanks for sharing!
Joanna,
This is fabulous.
I would change the action of the names on the left to be more consistent. I suggest either:
1. When the slider moves off one, it disappears so only one name is visible, or
2. Once they are all revealed, they stay revealed.

Are you showing us the contents of the zip folder after you downloaded it?
Just choose to open it with Storyline 2 when you click the download link.
EDIT: whoops. I see now that you downloaded the published file. Extract it and look for a story.html file, and then double click that.
Hi Kevin,
just like David wrote - after the download just open with SL2, you don't need to unzip anything.
