Zooming and Triggers

Hi Leandra,

You can achieve all of what you describe except the zoom animation when user clicks. In your case, it may be best to set every zoomed area in its own layer which would also contain the audio file.

Hope it helps,

Alex

Thanks Alex - I was hoping to develop everything on one slide. Didn't know if Storyline has a way to do the multiple zooms with triggers.

I do not see a way to select the zoomed area and have it on a layer. Are you talking about croping a copy of the area to the layer?

Yes that's right. You would have to crop a copy of the required area of your image and put it on a layer. Then use a trigger for each element to get to the relevant layer.

Technically, you can include everything in one slide (without the use of layers). However you will make your life extremely difficult for no reason (especially since multiple audio files are to be included in the slide).

Another way you can go about this is to use the integrated zoom tool (although you would still have to slice your image accordingly) or Storyline markers. Granted, this may change your desired functionality somehow, but it arguably adds some interactivity...

Hope it helps,
Alex

Too bad...this is just not the functionality I am looking for.

Thanks anyway.

You cannot zoom a layer or trigger a zoom you can fake this (see the file I have attached  and there will be other ways to achieve what you want, the key is to work with the tools you have or find another tool most things in life are smoke and mirrors

Thanks for the .story file. I will look into your "smoke and mirrors" and see I can use them.

This was very helpful.  Thanks very much!
