Place a Web Object in a Scroll Panel?
Aug 30, 2013
Hi,
I'm trying to insert a web object into a scroll panel and it does not display. The web object does display just fine outside of the scroll panel. Is this possible?
Alternatively, I was using the web object to display text. This text needed a scroller so I wrote that into the css and it worked great in the story.html version on a standard web browser (Chrome). But when I view the mobile version through the Articulate app, or just call the story_html5.html file, the scroller breaks. The text is still visible but unscrollable.
Is there a way to get that web object to scroll using the mobile css?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian and welcome to Heroes!
You should be able to insert a web object into a scrolling panel, and the scrolling features and web object should work fine in the Articulate Mobile Player. Are you able to share your .story file here to send it privately to our Support team?
I know this is an old thread, but this issue persists. I have found something very interesting though. A web object does NOT show it's content when put into a Scroll Panel. The exact same web object copied to a new slide that is not inside a scroll panel shows up fine.
Here's the kicker... If I have Flash Player installed in my browser, does not work inside scroll panel. If I disable the Flash Player (same browser), is does work inside a scroll panel!
Hey Steve - Would you be able to share your test .story file for us to take a look?
I had to recreate it. First slide has video at bottom of scroll panel. Second slide has the same web object just on the slide itself. Both play fine if browser does not have Flash Player. Only the second slide web object shows at all if Flash Player is enabled.
Thanks for sharing the file and allowing me to take a look Steve. I see the behavior you are reporting and I am going to share this information with our QA Team to take a look at as well.
Hi Matthew,
It looks like this one has been around for a while... 😕
I can see we do have a bug filed for it in Storyline 360 and Storyline 2, and it's specific to the Flash output using a scrolling panel. Are your learners restricted to using IE11 with Flash? If they're viewing Storyline 3/360 output it should work fine in the HTML5 output.
Since Flash is on it's way out, I can see how this issue hasn't been a priority. I'll let the team know it's still something you're struggling with to see if we can get confirmation around any potential fixes.
Thanks, Matthew and I absolutely understand the necessity of this fix, given that Flash is still very much a part of a lot of learners experiences and the other issues you've run into. The added insights you've shared here are beneficial too.
