Two thoughts: research shows that receiving words through the audio channel and visual channel simultaneously creates more interference than reinforcement. I know, it seems counter-intuitive, but the strongest reinforcement is seeing a picture while hearing a description of it. Kinetic text also seems to have good results, but is very time-consuming to produce.
Still, if you have to do it, I recommend a small text box with a variable in it. Assign one or two lines of text to the variable, and change it at the appropriate time to pace the narration.
Walt, I understand what you're saying, but I don't think what I have in mind would be too difficult for learners to follow. Basically, I have a scrolling panel of images that are similar to a flow chart. As learners flow through the images, I wanted corresponding audio narrating.

I am bumping this old post because I have the same question.
Hi Laurel!
I've seen a user post a solution here utilizing motion paths to simulate, but it is not using a scrolling panel.
Hopefully the community will be able to pop in and assist with your design.
Hi Laurel
I think there was a post about using motion paths not scrolling panels - can't put my finger on it now - will keep looking for you.
Oh there you go...I should have refreshed my screen - Leslie has it at her fingertips!

Haha Wendy - it doesn't happen often - Heroes rule!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well Walt. Very insightful.
Thank you all for the help.

I might actually end up doing something like the Manhattan map example shown here: https://community.articulate.com/articles/are-scrolling-panels-in-your-e-learning-bag-of-tricks-they-should-be
Sounds great Laurel! Glad you were able to find a resource to assist you and fit your need. Good luck with your project!
