Make custom seekbar in articulate storyline 2
Oct 14, 2014
Is there any way I can make a custom seekbar I dont want to use whats in the default player, instead I want to make a seekbar of my own because I want to make a responsive project for which I have rendered frames in which there is a space dedicated to seekbar, please tell me any way to make a seekbar. Or just suggest me a way by which I can link my video playback to any object that moves with my video playback in a straight line and when I drag it the video will have to be forward or back in regards with forward and backward direction of the object just like the circle in the seekbar or youtube.
Please help me....

Hello Digital Link, and welcome to Heroes!
Here is a thread that may be able to offer some assistance.
Sorry to say, but it didn't helped me...:(

There is no real way to make a seek bar natively.
You could build one in flash or use a streaming service which allows you to change the player
Hi Phil,
Can you share a storyline file sample with the custom seekbar using flash.
Hi Ajay,
i'm not certain that Phil is still subscribed to this thread - but you could look at setting up something custom using the Storyline SDK.
I have created a demo lesson with a seekbar and pause/play/rewind controls.

I'm trying to find a way to give interactive control to the learner in the same way as the base frame seekbar works. I don't have Flash development skills and anyway I need this to work on iPads. If anyone can tell me if this is possible with the Storyline SDK it would help. Alternatively, is there anyone out there with SDK skills who would like a short contract to build something for me?
Hi Bruce,
The SDK only supports Flash, not HTML5. But in terms of looking for contractors you may want to also post in the Developer and SDK forum here.
Thanks Ashley, I'll do just that - thanks
Hi all,
Was playing around with sliders to achieve this effect which I did. However, there may be a few limitation as to what type of course this could apply to.
Happy Dev!
Hi Kingsley,
Thank you for sharing the file. Its good.
However can we try to make it a interactive seek bar just like the one we get in the default player.
Would like to know your thoughts.
There's a Storyline SDK?!
Sure is Jay - you can take a look at download it here.
Thanks, Ashley!
Hi Jay,
Is there any other option for the seek bar. I want it to be accessible so that user can drag seek
Hi Sameer,
This discussion is a bit older - but I'd be happy to help.
The seekbar in Storyline 2 (and newer versions) allows for a read only option, meaning the user could see it progressing but not drag it. Otherwise the default option is that they can drag it or click around it to navigate to other sections of the timeline.

Hi Bruce,
It seems like the link is broken, could you share the link please?
Hi Anil,
I'm not sure if Bruce is still subscribed here, as the post is a bit older - but you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!
Best of luck with your project!
