Are the player controls supposed to tab in order or do they get split up by the slide elements? When I am tabbing through a slide, the tab order will hit the menu/toc then volume control, the seekbar and rewind button, then what's on the slide. After tabbing through those, I am returned to the prev/next buttons.
Is this the correct order? I would think the player controls would all be tabbed through in sequence, then the actual content.
Thanks, that works okay and I've successfully customized the tab order of elements on screen (my posted image is just for ref). My problem is the skipping around of player nav elements when tabbing through. I am not sure why the screen items get put in the between the nav controls, then the tab focus goes back to prev/next button. The order currently is:
Within the Flash output of Storyline 2, here is how the tab order will work. As a general set up for tabbing it will also from the top left of the slide to the bottom right. If you've got a set up that seems to be behaving differently we'd want to take a look at the .story file with the player you've set up.
Hi Ashley, I think it is behaving strangely. The .story file is attached. This tabbing problem has happened with everything I've published. I have already uninstalled Storyline 2, then reinstalled to no effect.
Hi Janet - I'm not seeing the same behavior that you are reporting above. Here is my Peek video on the behavior I am seeing. You can check out my published output here. Are you seeing the same behavior with my output?
Hi Leslie - it may be misunderstanding on my part. :-) I thought the player would allow me to tab through the player controls in order - volume, seekbar, rewind, prev and next with the slide elements coming either before that set or after.
Ah, perhaps so. The custom tab order is available for the objects on the slide and the documentation that Ashley shared above will assist if you were wanting to skip any of the player navigation.

Hi Janet
You can't customize the tab order of player navigation elements, but you can skip them when you're tabbing through a slide with a screen reader.
