Text disappearing from 3 of 4 objects when user scrolls over link
Aug 22, 2013
Hello,
This is my first time posting to the forum and I really appreciate any advice anybody can provide. I've uploaded the problem slide here.
This is a slide with a base layer and then four additional layers, each containing one object (a thought-bubble). The user clicks an object on the base layer to trigger each additional layer.
Each thought bubble contains text. Part of the text contains an embedded link.
For three of the four thought bubbles, when the bubble appears and the user rolls the cursor over the link-embedded text, the rest of the text disappears (or changes to white, I can't tell).
I can't see any setting differences that could cause this. I've tried copying and pasting the text from the unaffected layer onto the affected layers, and this has't helped. I've tried copying and pasting the the unaffected thought bubble into the affected layers, but the problem persists. I've tried switching computers and the problem persists. I've tried copying and pasting this single slide into an entirely new project, and in the new project, the problem is solved. But how do I solve it within the current project?
There must be something I haven't thought of! Thank you!!
Cheers,
Sarah.

Hey Sarah - just wanted to let you know we were looking at the file.
Hi Sarah! Looks like David is taking care of you, but I did want to pop in and welcome you to E-Learning Heroes
Hey Sarah -
So it looks like there are some wonky things going on with our shape boxes and how we read the caption background color.
Here's a short video showing how you can fix the file you're working with: https://david.viewscreencasts.com/4b545cff4332701adfec4e637c954dcf
Hope that helps.
Hi David,
Thank you so much! I'll try the solution you suggest. Fantastic help; much appreciated.
Cheers,

Awesome Sarah! Thanks for the update.
Hey ,
I recently started using Articulate . and had a problem . Please don't laugh if anyone think that my question is stupid .
My question is when adding scroll bar in articulate , the scroll bar is only scrolling horizontally and not vertically . Is this normal or is this the limitation in scroll bar ????
hope some one will clarify the doubt .
Hi Abhinav and welcome to Heroes!
This is the place to ask questions, so no need to worry about asking "silly" questions!
You should be able to make a scroll bar in either directions (and interestingly enough another forum thread was asking for the opposite this morning!). You'll want to follow the directions here to insert a scroll panel.
thanx Ashley !!!! thanx for ur help . Your help has been of great use ...
thank you once again . so the horizontal scrolling is not supported by articulate storyline scrollbar . right ???
Hi Abhinav,
Happy to help. The built in scroll bar is set up as vertical, but you can use the method in the previous thread linked, or even this thread to set it up as a horizontal scroll bar..
thanx Ashley , the link really helped me . Geert really did a clever job . Thanx once again !!!!!
Glad I could point you in the right direction! Have a great Friday!
hi Ashley ,
hope you are fine . You know that I'm new to storyline .I was surfing the net to enhance my storyline skills . I was watching storyline videos on Youtube , when i saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWwM6D_WLUU .Can this be also created on storyline ??
Hi Abhinav,
I'm not certain if that was created in Storyline, although it certainly could have been but this would be a bit more advanced to set up, especially since they're using their own custom characters. You may also want to start reading the Community blogs included on this page, as all the examples our team share include the .story files so that you can use their files to test and start learning more about how to set those up.
