Conditional slide transition?
I'm using a slide transition for illustrative purposes (push, from bottom) and it is working effectively on advancing slides, however on selecting the previous slide, the push transition moves in the same direction (from bottom) confusing the illusion of movement and the learner on what is happening.
This topic has be covered in another thread, with no resolution.
I am now looking for a way to disable the transition on clicking the previous slide button, whether as javascript workaround - or by jumping directly to a cue point in the previous slide on clicking the previous button.
Are either possible?
Many thanks!
Hi JH24,
Sorry, I was thinking of an animation on an individual component on the slide, not the slide transition.
I tried the cue point idea but without success.
There is a way to accomplish what you are wanting without JavaScript, if you want.
It would involve creating duplicates of slides with the slide transition animation and removing the slide transition animation on the duplicates. You could disable the Next and Previous buttons that are enabled by default on the player and use your own buttons on the slides to control navigation. By doing this, you could program the Previous buttons to go to the slides without the slide transition animation, i.e.-go to the duplicates, not the originals.
Hi JH24,
Your idea of a cue point might work as you are trying to force the slide to go to a certain section of the timeline upon a slide revisit. However, you can also set the slide to do that without a cue point.
If you would, try this:
- Go to the slide that contains the animation.
- Click on the gear icon on the bottom right of the Storyline interface.
- In the option for "When revisiting:" use the pulldown menu to select Resume Saved State
- Select OK
This should allow the user to see the slide at the end of the timeline upon revisiting the slide, not at the beginning where the animation is.
I think this would accomplish what you want.
You can see the attached Storyline project as an example.
Hi Kendal, this would be a potential solution - but slide transition animations seem to be triggered between or independent of slide timelines, so the slide transition plays, even when returning to a resumed state.
This is why I thought jump to cue point, skipping over the transition, but maybe this would also encounter the same issue.
Ideally a javascript snippet that would conditionally disable/enable a transition on a slide would work...but I'm not advanced enough yet on this.This could be a workaround! Thanks Kendal.
