List of Functions in Storyline

Mar 24, 2016

I'm new to Storyline and I'm trying to understand the ins and outs of Javascript within the program. Many people point to this article when asked:

https://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/javascript-best-practices-and-examples

That's a start but it shows that there are custom variables and function that you can call using Javascript. Is there a reference for the built in Storyline library that people know of?

Examples of things I'd like to know:

How can I use JS to run animations?

Can I change item states with JS?

Are there libraries that people typically use for JS?

There isn't a whole lot you can do (that's supported) in javascript to interact directly with the player, outside of changing the values of variables that you've created. I think many of us are hoping that a future release will expose much more functionality and player variables. You can use js to change a variable though, and have a trigger act upon that variable.

That being said, you can still do just about anything you like with javascript inside of a web object. With some help, I was able to build a search feature for our courses that searches the closed captioning of the video, then takes the user to that spot in the video.
