Triggers - how to show a layer when the learner clicks on another layer

Hi Louise

instead of using layers, I would recommend you:

1. Add a selected state to all the rectangles
2. Set the initial state of all text boxes to hidden using the states tab (see above image)
3. Create triggers for each text box  eg: change the state of the text box 6 to normal  when the state of rectangle 2 is selected...repeat for all text boxes.

Hope that helps

Hi Louise,

Please find attached file i have done with using layers. Now its up to you what you prefer. You can achieve functionality using layers or using states that wendy done above.

Hi Louise,

PFA, let me know in case of any more requirement. Hop this is fine. :)

Thank you so much for the knowledge sharing guys - I have been able to do it both ways now, so some great learning for me! 

Hi guys

thanks for your help - I just had a couple more questions on the same slide if anyone can help me with that.......

1. I have added a new text box 'Rectangle 7' - I want this to appear - only when the learner has clicked on all the other rectangles - 2,3,4,5 & 6

2. I don't want the learner to be allowed to click on NEXT (to go to next slide) unless they have clicked on all of the boxes

Attached is the file.

Thanks in advance, Louise

Hi Louise

I have changed the initial state of the Next button to disabled using a trigger when timeline starts.

I have changed the initial state of Rect 7 to be hidden and made it display using a trigger when state of all Rec 2 - 6 are visited.

I have enabled the next button to be normal when state of Rect 7 is normal.

Hope that helps

That works perfectly - thanks for your help Wendy :) Learning heaps!

Glad it worked for you Louise - good luck with your project and shout out if you need more help.

Hey Wendy

I thought it was easier just to add to the same thread. I am almost ready to publish my course for a few key people to review. But there are 2 things I am struggling with.

1. Can I add a progress bar throughout the course or even just a page numbering showing completion such as Page 10 of 50?

2. On the home page I would love for the colour of each scene to change to green when the learner has completed each scene?

3. I have created a scene for resources, and tried to link this scene to the first 3 slides of my course to check that this was working OK, but it doesn't appear to be. Am I doing this correct - or is there a simpler way to link the 'resources' tab in the top right hand corner to the scene with the link to resources?

Thanks again for your help - much appreciated. I have attached the full story file.

Thanks, Louise

I think the file is too large to upload. I have tried to upload as a zip file as well. Is there a way of getting the file to you to take a look?

Louise

Hi, Louise -- Thanks so much for reaching out once more!

#1 - Regarding some ideas for progress bars, you may want to see the following:

• Storyline custom progress bar?
• Who can recommend an easy way to build in a progress bar?
• Progress Meters in E-Learning #60

• Storyline: User-Generated Course Plan with Progress Meter
• Elegant Navigation with Progress Meter 

#2 - For working with theme colors, please see here. 

#3 - Please see this information on How to Link to a Resource in the Course Player.

Hope that information helps, and if your file is too large, you may want to consider paring it down to a few slides that illustrate your areas of concern, and then share the abbreviated version. :)

Thanks Christie

I will take a look at the links and if any problems I will load a few slides as suggested.
