99 Practical Examples of Javascript in Storyline
UPDATE: No book but a live document collecting 99 Practical Online Programming examples with JavaScript. Pop(99);
https://www.rabbitoreg.com/examples/p99/#/
After years of coming up with practical solutions in javascript to support Storyline development, it's time to wrap them in a book. All in one solution for non-coders. Examples, how to use them, how to tweak them. Best practices, worst nightmares... Limited fluff. Limited geekness: IT'S ABOUT PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION.
There are great courses out there to each you to code. Yet, many of you said you found them boring. Why? Because they're teaching you how javascript works, not how to work javascript along with Storyline to build something faster, easier, better. That's the goal. It will be too light for programmers and too heavy if this is your first time opening up Storyline. If you're inbetween, and you want your elearning design/development to pop, you'll find 99 ways to do it.
Would you be interested in the book?
Would you be interested in contributing some real-life examples to the book?
Let me know!
As a reminder, Articulate does not officially support javascript (beyond the Execute Javascript trigger).
I am interested in this book. Is it available?
Yes please!
I’d be interested in a $3.99 Kindle version, for sure. But any more than that I would probably just look up the code myself or find another way of achieving what I want. Great idea though!
Zsolt - add me to the very interested list!! Great idea and it will be extremely useful!
Thanks everyone for the interest! Good to know that there's an audience out there. Update: some great minds joined in and started sorting out the content areas. Thanks for all who jumped in!
Then life happened (with projects and all)... I'm picking it up tomorrow. My goal is to complete it by Dec 31st. However, not as a book. As I was digging into the supporting materials, links, sites, videos, code, etc. I think it would be much more useful as a living online document (which we can edit any time and we don't have to wait until it's all written and published), so you can use it along with Storyline.
This is good to hear! I look forward to seeing it.
I'm super interested! Let us know when it's ready.
I'm interested too, sounds like a great project.
I can't wait to take a look at this. Great idea!
I have many examples of using JavaScript in storyline。
fullscreen,control the objects,control the progress,control the backmusic ,control the scroll panel,control other html5 file,show tips,draw in the storyline,send an e-mail to the teacher,show a picture when start,run only on a certain domain……
storyline with javascript can do anything.
It would be great to have some sort of searchable, central community repository for these examples. So valuable! Especially for those of us who are new to javascript and don't yet have a sense of these possibilities.
Can you share how you are able to control objects such as shapes and text using JavaScript? For example what is the JS code for moving a rectangle 100 pixels to the right and 50 pixels down? Can you change properties like color, transparency, and scale?
