Can Storyline lock a hotspot in place in a scrolling panel?

Hello Heroes...

I've got a problem where I've created a scrolling panel with text that needs to be highlighted. When I put a hot spot in the scrolling panel to make part of a sentence highlight, the hotspot doesn't get pulled into the panel. Instead, it stays in place as though its on the slide and not inside the scrolling box. Grouping the text box and the hotspot together within the scrolling panel doesn't seem to work either.

How would I get around this type of error? Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Or come up with a work around if this is a bug?

Thanks for your help,

Jesse Spinella

    Hi Flora,

    This is a much older thread, but if the hotspot isn't working you could look at using a transparent shape instead of the hotpsot. Just make sure the transparent shape includes a fill and an outline and then be transparent.

    Another suggestion is use text as a hyperlink. Then add the trigger for that link to do what you want.

    The hyperlink worked great in this case. You can take off the underline and change the color of your text to match whatever you're using for clickable text.
