Hi. I put in a slider with 6 points, 1 layer for each point. It works but it doesn't seem to slide very easily when I preview it. I'm afraid my participants won't be able to get it to move. Any hints?
have you played with these settings on the Design tab (when the slide is selected). I know sometimes I forget to change and the result I get isn't what I expect. Hope that helps
Thanks Wendy. That is indeed what I did. I moved it from slider is dragged to when learner releases. That helped a lot but it still seems to get stuck on the last 2. It's almost like it needs to be 'broken in'...
@Sue, maybe some other object partially overlaps the slider. You could also try to increase the number of steps, to make the slider thumb movement smoother. In any case, you can always share your .story file here so that we can have a closer look.
Thanks everyone. Yes, I am working exclusively in the VM, no shared files. I just find that it doesn't matter, it's very buggy working on a VM on a Mac.
I'm going to assume this will work fine once it's published so I really do appreciate all the reviews.
I just deleted the file as it is proprietary stuff.
Thanks Wendy. If I can't get it right once I publish, I'll get back to
you .Do you find you have quirky things happen on your system? I swear I
have to do many things 2x b/c it doesn't 'take' the first time. I had
Articulate share my screen with some issues and they too were mystified.
Made me feel a bit better.

I was playing with a three-stop slider and found that by adjusting the steps down, i get a much smoother slide. See screenshot... Maybe this will help?

Anyone on staff willing to weigh in here?
Hi Sue! I took a look at the file you shared and I am not seeing an issue. The slider moves smoothly and where I expect it to.
Could this be a MAC/VM issue? It's getting stuck when I preview it...and yes I am working only locally?
Thank you.
That is a possibility Sue. Are you working on your software/file exclusively in the Windows environment?
Sue, I had a look at your file too, and didn't expereince any issues either.

I wotk on a Mac with Parallels - happy to take a look if you like. You can use 'contact me' to send file if you like.
