Printing a certificate from storyline
Hello all,
I am needing a bit of help. I have built a game that incoporates a kind of "choose your own adventure" style (I loved those books as a kid...still do.) which allows the user to collect bonuses throughout the game if they make certain decisions. If the user collects all the bonuses, they are then directed to a unique end screen that is a certificate that shows their "perfect score." The problem I am having is figuring out how to create a button in the module that will print the certificate out so that the user can click it, print it, and display their accomplishment at their station.
I tried housing the certificate on a results slide, but since there is no quiz, just choices tracked by variables, it doesn't quite work the way I would like. Any suggestions, ideas, hieroglyphics or smoke signals would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
JD

Hi JD and welcome to Heroes!
Who didn't love choose your own adventure books?
You may want to check out this thread with an example from Steve Flowers - it's the "definitive" thread on making a certificate.
Thank you Ashley.
I did notice that thread after I posted my question. I was just kind of hoping there was something a little more simple (not that the process outlined is all that difficult). Oh well, I have always been a dreamer.
I appreciate your response!!
Hi JD,
Sorry I couldn't be of more help! But, it's a popular certificate example, but hopefully it's easier than it looks.
Oh no, you were helpful!! I did a little more digging and found another thread that addressed this as well. The solution that was super simple for me was just creating a "run javascript" button with the following: window.print();
Since I am only needing to print the slide that is currently active, this seemed to be the easiest for my desired result.
Thank you again for your help!! I really do appreciate it!

P.S. I am fairly new to the whole E-Learning world, but am finding Storyline to be very easy to use and extremely intuitive for me. I dig it...a lot!
Nice, thanks for sharing that thread here!
