writing custom jQuery/Javascript to manipulate slide assets-HTML5

Jason,

It would be hard for me to point you in the right direction without knowing or having an example of what you are attempting to do. Since Articulate does not support "hijacking" or manipulating the code beyond what it was designed for, again, it would be hard to suggest something outside of our support policy. Are you absolutely certain Storyline can't already do what you want it to without having to hijack?

David:

I would like to be able to do something very similar to the following examples:

It would seem to me, if Storyline is publishing to HTML5, any asset (image, audio, etc) would have to be placed in an HTML tag somewhere that I could manipulate however I choose. Is there some other non-HTML5 magic going on in the background that I'm not aware of? Thoughts? 

Thanks in advance!

Jason,

There is nothing special happening with the html5 content outside of what is expected. In theory, you can manipulate the Articulate published html5 content anyway you choose, however, this might not a straight forward as you would hope. Currently, there is no SDK, so access to some of the functionality you are looking to tap into might not be possible, without some major "hacking".

Based on the examples you have forwarded, you might have your work cut out for you. I wish I could give you more information, but can't due to the size of your request. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Good luck.

I don't mind the "hacking" but can you just tell me where I would expect to find an image for a particular slide within the HTML (or Javascript parsing equivalent)? If this is simply HTML5 output, it has to be placed within a tag at some point. From the looks of the code, it's processing those tags through JavaScript as opposed to a traditional, straight-forward HTML page.

In other news, I hear an SDK is planned...any word on a timeline?

Any new information on this? Again, it seems if it's publishing to HTML5, those assets have to be accessible somehow. I'm just asking for a nudge in the right direction, regardless of how difficult it may prove in the end. Thanks!

Jason,

I'm sorry to say, I don't have any new information on this.

Is this like a "secret sauce" thing? I'm not sure what would be so complicated about targeting the assets after publishing for HTML5 from people who built the tool? Ok, I'll have to continue to look into this on my own unless someone out there knows...

I have also a query. How can i run self ajax and jquery inside articulate courses. For ex: at the end of the course there is a button and when user clicks on that button all the information should be saved into my database. so i want to known how this is possible inside articulate files. 

I have one more query that how can we use embedded code for a button inside articulate courses.

You can add a javascript trigger to the button and place your code inside there
