Animation for disabled state
Is there a way to add animation to an object in the disabled state in Storyline 360? Ex: I want to have several objects fly in to the slide but don't want them to be clicked on yet, so I have them in the initial state of disabled, but the fly in doesn't work. What am I missing? Thoughts?
That shouldn't be a problem. I have three buttons initially disabled, and they fly in from the left when the timeline starts. I'm not sure what you're doing differently. Would you mind sharing the file or uploading a short video to demonstrate the issue?
My mistake on my original question. It is the WIPE animation that I can't get to work, as opposed to the fly-in.
I can confirm the same behavior. The Wipe animation effect is not applied to disabled objects. While I won't speculate on whether this is a bug or intended behavior for the Wipe animation effect, you can certainly submit a case to Articulate for further clarification https://access.articulate.com/support/contact/case
Hi Carl, It's not possible to add animations directly to a state.
But you can add the animation to an object, and then paste the object into the state and it will animate the state.
fyi: Built-in buttons vs custom buttons:
buttons-in-storylineThank you, but how do you "paste the object into the state"?
Hi Carl,
Here are the steps (in case someone else wants to do same) and a video.- Place the object on the slide
- Add an animation to the object
- Copy the object - Cntrl + C
- Click on the state you want to add the animated object to, the chosen state will have a highlight around it and the states content will appear on the slide for editing.
- Click Cntrl + V to paste the object into the state
- Make adjustments as need be: position, alignment...
- Choose the initial state to show (e.g. Disable)
- Click Done.
Would a screen recording help? If so I will make and post. In the meantime this video from David Anderson at Articulate may help:
