scrolling windows

Hello- I'm developing a training simulation using my company's database program. Agents working in the software sometimes need to access multiple fields on a page including information that falls below the fold. I can take a screen capture which includes the whole page, but cannot use the tall graphics on a single screen for trainees to interact with, as they cannot read the information in various fields. Instead, I would like to have the graphic display at the full size with a scroll bar to access other regions of the page that appear off screen. Is it possible to program my articulate content in a way that will allow that?
Thanks-
Michael

There are scrolling panels in Storyline which can hold your oversize content and allow users to navigate up and down however if you want interactions lower down the page this may not be the best solution.
Alternatively, separate your content into layers and have buttons to trigger showing layers acting as if you are scrolling down the screen then you can have interactions on each layer. [In storyline 2 this can also be done using a timeline function and an object with multiple states].
If you want to create an exact replica of your software's window, you could use a customized slider, as shown here in the third example ('Quality Report')
I will give that a try! Thanks for your speedy reply!
Glad that you were able to get the assistance you needed here Michael :)
