FREE: Emoticon Feedback Slider for Storyline 2

Hi Montse,

I really like this. Thanks for sharing. If I understand your question correctly you want the smileys to show not only when you move the slider but when you hover over the slider as well?

I deleted the hotspot trigger you had and added the following trigger: 

and duplicated for 1-10 on the smiley state/slider value.

That seemed to do the job :)

Nice solution, Shaun!

I'll have to take a closer look. As it stands, dragging the slider back and forth quickly can result in the following.  Curious to see what is causing this.

It's the exit animation on the states of each smiley causing that effect. Each state has a 0.25sec fade in and fade out. Storyline is ensuring each state completes it's transition out, even though it is moving on to the next state. I just removed the fade outs from each state and it stopped the 'after image'.

The icon's entrance and exit animations were intentionally added to create the ghosting effect.

To quickly remove the animations, you can take a shape without any animations, edit the emoji object's states, and format paint the the current icons to remove their animations.

This is a super cool idea, Montse!  Thanks for sharing.

HI Montse,

Thank you for sharing this cool project.  I have a question that I'm hoping you can answer.  The 'Thank You' slide notes that the survey rating has been recorded (variable: %Slider2%)  I'm not seeing where it would be reported to.   The player only allows me to choose to track by number of slides visited.  I've tried all I can think of to remedy it so the slider # would be reported to our LMS after the learner answers the survey (slider).  

Hi Erin - Do you want to pass the slider value to your LMS? That would require some additional JavaScript to capture the custom variable's value and to pass it to your LMS.

A workaround you can use is to insert a built-in Survey slide and use triggers to auto-select the survey values based on the slider values set on the previous slide. I've attached a quick sample for you to look at.

You can use the custom icon slider on slide one to let learners select a rating. Then on the next slide, you'll have a built-in survey slide that can be "hidden" by covering it with a graphic or moving it off slide. Using triggers, you will auto-select the radio button in the survey to correspond to the values set with the slider.

This gives you the functionality of the survey without having to use the survey.

Take a look at the attached file and let me know if this can work for you.

Montse, I found this to be an brilliant solution! I'm wondering what the javascript to capture extraneous variables would look like and where I might learn more?
