Shape Animation May 07, 2015 By Steven Hotson Hi, I'm fairly new to Articulate Storyline 2 and I'm really enjoying using the software. I hope you can help solve a query I have. I'm trying to create an animation where a rectangular shape expands downwards into a bigger shape, see screenshots attached. Can anyone advise on how they would do this in SL2 please? Many Thanks Steven Shape_Animation_1.jpg Shape_Animation_2.jpg

I have used states to change the rectangle from shape 1 to shape 2 and trigger the change when the timeline reaches 2.5 secs. you can add any animations you want to the shapes. Hope that gets you started. Steven-SL2_shapes-WF.story
