Getting past seekbar restrictions
May 18, 2016
Hi! I have a story that I'm trying to fine tune as far as the player and navigation settings are concerned. I'd really like to have the seekbar as read-only so a learner knows how long they have to stay on a slide before my next button works (next button will only work when the timeline of the slide is complete). Definitely don't want them to be able to skip ahead and miss audio.
The main issue I'm running into is that many of my slides have activities (drag and drop, fill in the blank, etc.) so the setting on those slides is "resume saved state" when revisiting, which means the rewind/replay button on my slider doesn't work on those slides...boo! How can I get around that, any better navigation ideas or seekbar replacement options? I'm attaching a scene from my story for reference.

Hi Molly,
I don't think there is a need of seek bar as long as your next button will work when the slide is complete.
I am not able to access the file, give me some error when I download the file? Can you please re-upload the file again or send me via email? hassamhanif@gmail.com
What is the ideal scenario? Would you like the rewind and reply button to be working when a learner revisit your content?

The ideal scenario is that the rewind and replay button work when the learner revisits and if they are revisiting a slide with an activity (drag and drop, fill in the blank, etc.) that they don't have to redo the activity when they get ready to move forward again.
I've also emailed the story to you.
Thanks for sharing the file. Here is what you going to do:
Let me know if it helps :)

Hi Mohammad - Unfortunately that didn't work. On the slides where I have the option checked to resume saved state, the rewind/replay button still doesn't work on the seekbar. I'm going to forget about the seekbar and do things a little differently. I'm officially over the seekbar struggle! Thanks for taking a stab at it with me!
No problem. One suggestion, Instead of replay. Try clicking on Back button to see the saved answers because the Reply button will only restart the running the slide. If Back button is not working then there is an issue with the version. Meanwhile, I am sending you package file where the back button works pretty well.
Have a wonderful day.
The replay button is what I'm talking about that isn't working when clicked. I'm wanting that button to work on the slide and it doesn't. I have no issues with the back/previous button.
Check this out now :)
I still don't see it working on all the slides. Some slides, it works because I don't have the option checked to resume saved states, but on all the slides where I have it set to resume saved state when revisiting, the replay button doesn't work. Examples of slides that don't work: Manage-up Forecast, Respectful & Supportive interactions (with the fill in the blank),
Hey there! Circling back to this conversation to let you know that update 21 for Storyline 360 is here! What's inside?
Please welcome the Conditional Seekbar in the Modern Player! You can use this new feature to prevent learners from skipping ahead until they've completed a slide. The seekbar is locked the first time learners view the slide. After that, they can drag the seekbar back and forth.
Plus many more goodies; check out all the new features and fixes here! 🎁
Here's how to update Storyline 360 to see everything the latest release has to offer. Be sure to let us know what you think!
