Tabbing through a Focus Order

Mar 18, 2021

This may be a silly question but in this video at 44 mins 41 secs Tom starts talking about creating a Tab order. 

In it he tabs through his focus order when he previews.

When I create focus order, it only tabs to areas that have an action attached and ignores any text. Has this process changed or am I doing something wrong.

Hello howard!

I'm happy to help! It looks like this webinar is from February 2017. We've changed the tab order, now called the Focus Order, in Storyline 360. You'll find that by tabbing through a slide, interactive objects such as buttons, hotspots, and text entry fields are highlighted. 

If you're using assistive technology like a screen reader, you'll want to stick with using keyboard shortcuts like the up/down arrow to move through text boxes and the tab key to navigate to interactive objects.

Please let me know if you have additional questions!
