Rotating square
Dec 19, 2017
Hi all,
Whilst searching for some inspirational Einstein quotes, I found a web page with a whole pile of them, neatly hidden behind images of the man himself in little squares. I love the way it's been done, and would really like to take this idea, and use it for the eLearning I'm building!
However, I can't find an easy way of doing it, and thought I'd see if any of the clever folks here could find a way of replicating this action. Here's a screen recording of the animation I want to try and replicate

It's just a square that spins round a centre point, with different text on the back, that rotates with the square when it's hovered over...
If anybody can replicate this in Storyline 360, I'd be very grateful! :-)
Thanks, and Happy Christmas to you all
Paul

Hi Paul, I did something similar (but with a click and with addition of expanding text box) a wile ago, as shown in below. I did this on my home 360 licence and only have SL2 here at work. Will try to come back with how to later on.
Yep, can just do it with a swivel.
e.g. have a square, add the Einstein image on the state. Add a new Selected state, delete what is there, past the square again in the position of X 0 and Y 0 and put the swivel animation on this.
Thanks Michael, I tried the swivel animation, but it does the whole 360 degrees, and doesn't seem to have an option to just go round 180... and doesn't fold back over the way it came.. :-(
Hi Paul,
I've had a go at creating something in SL360 although it's a bit messy. Personally I don't think it's a useable solution as if you want lots of flip cards on a single slide you're going to have a lot of layers, triggers and random shapes to contend with. However, I wanted to share it with you just in case it gives you any ideas.

Thanks David, That's pretty cool.. Like you say, to put 4 or 5 cards on one slide would be a bit messy, but thanks for the ideas. The site I viewed had a load of these flip cards, and when you mouse over them, I like the effect... https://360.articulate.com/review/content/3979ec21-8d6b-4c2d-a547-3a5b3ba4747f/review
It's not an issue in any way, I'd just love to be able to reproduce it in SL. Maybe a feature request on the animations is the way to go... more choice on how far to swivel, or which way etc...
Thanks again :-)
No problem.
It might be worth submitting that feature request as the flip cards are available in Rise so who knows, it might not be a massive leap for the developers to add them to SL360 too. They'd definitely be a good addition.
I've just requested it to add an extra voice, here's the link: https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request
Done, but I don't hold much faith in them doing anything with it...
Thanks :-)
