Navigation Issues
Jul 12, 2014
Hi All, I'm a newbie to Storyline, and sure I'm missing something obvious.
I have a 6-scene articule story. Each scene has a number of slides. Anywhere from 3-15 slides. I'm publishing just HTML5 to the web. No iPad, LMS, etc.
In the menu, I just want the scene headings. Not the individual slides. I.E. the student should just be able to jump to a new scene, not in the middle of a scene. In storyline player, menu, Options, I have navigation restriction set to free. The menu appears to be setup properly, with the scene headings.
However, when playing through the web, I can't skip from scene to scene. I do have several ifile html statements to stream video from the web, but I don't' think that's the issue.
Could someone take a look? Again, I think I'm missing something obvious.

Michael - It looks like you're pretty new to E-Learning Heroes, so welcome!
I believe that your menu is only displaying the scene name, not the name of the first slide in each scene that the student can freely navigate too. That's also why nothing is highlighted in the menu as you proceed through the module.
Here's what I did to bring back the functionality.
Now when the student clicks the name of a scene name, he or she will jump to slide 1 in that scene. One weakness of this approach is that the scene name won't be highlighted if the student is on slides other than slide 1 in that scene. Maybe someone else can figure it out.
I've attached the updated project for you to check out.
Much appreciated Robert, that's what I suspected. I renamed the first slide title to match the scene, and followed your steps. Things are working perfectly at this point!
Thanks!
I'm glad it was able to help, Michael. I hope the project is successful!
So far so good, here is a working demo: http://www.esafeteen.org/courses/Healthy_Visions_Connect_Smart_Demo%20output/story.html
If any of the Articulate developers are reading this, I'd suggest an option that if a user points to a Scene in a navigation action, the navigation will automatically direct the user to the first slide of that scene.
Hi Michael,
I'm not one of the developers, but if you'd like to share the idea with them directly you can send your thoughts in the form of a feature request here as those go directly to our product development team. I'm glad that Robert was able to assist you here.
