Does anyone know where I can get the graphics that are shown in the tutorials? I have been through all the downloads none are listed there, and it's not clear in the tutorials where these graphics came from.
Can you elaborate a little about which graphics you're talking about? Can you maybe take a screenshot and add the picture here in a comment? You're not referring to illustrated characters, are you?
Attached you will find a screen print of the tutorial with graphics we were inquiring about.
I do have a second question…..is there any way to make static characters into animated characters? So for example, if I wanted to take one of the illustrated characters in Storyline and make their arm move with the pointer in it how would I go about doing that?
Sorry we have LOTS of questions we are just starting to use this AMAZING tool, so gathered in a room for a week and just trying to figure it all out!
Thanks for posting the graphic you were referring to. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where that specific example file is located or even if it's available for the public... But it's a pretty simple graphic, so I recreated it for you in Storyline, and attached the .story file here.
It's a simple drag and drop Freeform slide, and you can edit the interaction to work however you want, but at least it's a starting point. I'm also going to provide this link for the step-by-step tutorial on how to edit and work with a Freeform drag-and-drop interaction in case you have questions about how to make edits.
About your question about illustrated characters... animating them is not a feature that is currently available in Storyline. It would definitely make a great feature request, but at the moment you can't animate their arms/legs. etc. However, you can add entrance and exit animations to your characters.

One option for adjusting the characters to fit your need is to export them and take them into an image editing application. If you right click on the character, you can save it as a picture to your desktop. Then you can make some minor adjustments as needed. If you have a graphic designer available, they can probably make these adjustments easily.
Another option is my site. I sell characters that are compatible with storyline. I also create custom characters as well.
