Drop-Down Menus
I didn't have much time for this challenge, so I knew it had to be short. So I thought about what I wanted most. And I knew right away what that was: Drop-down menus!
The majority of my job is training people how to enter information into the system we use. The information is full of long drop-down menus. I have always wished there was an easy way to make these. In Storyline I make individual shapes with the menu items, naming them all "Menu- [Answer A]" etc. Then I make a copy of these and name them "Ans- [Answer A]." All the items start in the hidden state. Then I group all the answers into one stack with a hotspot on top. Now when a user clicks on the hot spot, it opens all the menu items. When you click on a menu item it changes the state of that answer to normal and every other menu item and answer to hidden. My triggers go on forever! =)
Just look at one of these menus!
Anyways, I decided it would be easy to vibe code a drop-down menu for Rise. Below are my results. Now I need to figure out how I can use this in Storyline!
