Looping animation

Here are some animation examples I did during Storyline 2 beta testing. The second and fifth example show looping animations.

Thank you, Michael. You can be relied on.

Michael,

How did you loop the second (sin) animation?

@Ethan: That's easy to do in Storyline 2 with the new 'When Animation xyz completes' condition. See above the trigger.

Hrrmm. That was the solution I had tried however when I play it the cloud I am trying to move across the top of the screen in a loop only moves once. Thoughts?

UNSELECT the Relative Start Point path option for the animtion, otherwise your cloud keeps moving to the left into infinity :-)

And just like that...it works! Thank you so very much!

Thanks for the update Ethan!

Glad to hear you got this to work for you.

Michael,

Did you use Java for the tooltips from screen 1? I can't wrap my mind over the on-click expansion :)

This thread is a couple of months old, so you may want to ping Michael directly  using the "contact me" feature on his profile. 

Best of luck with your project! 

If you are referring to the 'Sights Of Berlin' example, these are built-in Storyline markers, no need for Javascript.

I'll be damned! How did I let such a cool feature pass by... :)

Thanks for your reply! Much appreciated!

Yep, markers are a nifty feature. Here is some info: https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/adding-markers-in-articulate-storyline-2 

Yay! Thank you for information on how to do this!!!!

Hi Christina and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! It's great when older threads are still assisting users and thanks for popping in to share.

I am trying to use the information in this thread to continuously loop multiple animations, one after the other on the slide.  I can't get it to work right...think I am missing a step or too.  What is your suggestion on how best to do this?  Slide attached

Kim,

Try this. I didn't test it (for obvious reasons), but there is at least a small chance that the animation will end about the time the audio ends, if my math is close.

this is perfect Walt.  thank you so much.  You're a genius.

You're welcome.

You know, that's what my mom used to say all the time, too. :)

:) Of course she did.

Just to add to the thread, here is one more example of looping animations.
