1. In PPT, there are more animation options than SL2 it seems. I inserted a shape (line) that I want to pulse a few times but can't seem to figure out how as I don't see "pulse" or "repeat".
2. This is my first time using sliders and I have set it up but now I want to have a picture pop up each time the slider is moved to each point.
there isn't any pulse animation in storyline you could create copy of the shape with a glow and make these appear at different times on the timeline to simulate a pulse.
For the slider create different layers with your images on and the build triggers to show each layer when the slider moves.
Pulse: I will try your idea as it may look cleaner. What I did was create it in PPT and saved it as a .wmv (suggested from a previous member a while ago.
Slide: That's what I thought so I will proceed as you instructed.
Phil, I have created the layers. Now I am trying to set the slider points but can't seem to move them where I want. They are set already but I'm not sure how to move them to my desired location. Here is my .story file.
click on the slider and choose the design tab that appears set the minimum and maximum for how many layers you have. I normally set minimum to 1 as i normally number my layers to match

Thank you Phil.

Sorry, Phil. I'm just not getting it. I have looked at samples but I just don't understand what I am to do.
I can't seem to move the slider to the position I want.
When you say "set the minimum and max", is that the Slide Properties "Start" and "End"?
When I create the trigger, for slider 1, I can set it to Condition to equal 1 ? It just says slider 2, slider 3, etc.
I just set the Start at 0 and the Initial at 0 as in a sample I am trying to follow. It still won't let me move the slider to position.
Also, it did something weird and starting flipping back and forth and would not stop until I closed SL2.
Ok, so I have made some more adjustments that may work for me. I will let you know if I need more help, Phil. Thanks.
Hi Daniela,
Glad you got things to work. Let us know if you need anything further.
