FREE Magic 8-Ball Interaction

Feb 25, 2015

I decided the other day to build a functional 100% random Magic 8-Ball just like the one I had as a kid. It is a lot of fun to play with but the Random Number Generator (RNG) Javascript is what I think really is cool about this. Conceptually you could trigger random scenarios for each seperate learner. Anyway, with a little help from  Michael Hinze to nail the scripting I needed, I think I was able to build a fun little interaction. This is my first published interaction here on the forums so any advice, suggestions, criticisms, money...would all be appreciated. I have also attached the file so you can take a look at how I built it.

Have a great day!!

Ah, so I am guessing this question was geared more towards Trina's template. Which is good, because I was totally lost on a show me link on mine. I know I'm a little crazy, but was scared I was going a lot crazy. :)

I will defer to the master on this one! (Trina, I still think you and Kevin are my favorites. Don't tell anybody.)

Hi Connie. Sorry for the confusion. JD created his awesome magic 8-ball interaction in Storyline and few months before I released my 8-ball themed Powerpoint template so I can see how that made searching for help a little challenging.

The good news is that you can easily update the link on that "Show Me" button on slide 4 (or any of the buttons in my template), just by right clicking on the button and selecting "Edit Hyperlink.

Edit hyperlink

Once you've clicked on "Edit Hyperlink" you'll see a pop-up with a field where you can enter the web address of your choice, or you can choose the "Place in This Document" option to link to another slide in your PPT file.

I hope this helps you out, but feel free to reply here if you need any more assistance.
