I am building a simulation course for our company technology and need to place a scrolling panel inside a scrolling panel (this most accurately simulates the application). Is this possible?
In another section, I would need to place a horizontal scroll inside a vertical scroll.
I was not able to find these answers in my research. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Scrolling panels can contain text boxes, shapes, pictures, videos, buttons, and more. In fact, they can hold anything except other scrolling panels and objects that originate from slide master placeholders.
But that doesn't mean that nobody has come up with a workaround. The users here are pretty resourceful.
This may not work for your content, but if you have a large content item, e.g. an image, you could add it to an html page and then display that page inside a Storyline webobject. See here an example. Because the image exceeds the Storyline project dimensions both verticallly and horizonatlly, the webobject automatically adds scroll bars.
Hi Walt - thanks so much for the information! I would definitely be interested in a work around. These are great opportunities to be creative. I have been exploring some options on how to present this that would be beneficial for the learner.

Hi Eileen,
Here is a thread where users discuss using horizontal scroll bars, but i haven't seen a scroll inside a scroll which would allow for vertical and horizontal.

Perfect! Thank you

Thanks Michael for sharing that here.
