Creating Flipbook using Storyline
Hi,
I'm new to storyline but i loved the features after trying it for nearly 5 days. My teaching process have been lot easier with Storyline. Thanks alot. However, im trying to create a flipbook (similar to Engage but with interaction) in storyline for my studies, but i don't know how. I tried importing the flipbook file in Engage to Storyline, still it was not working as how i wanted (flipping). Please help me. How can i create a flipbook using Storyline from scratch, or any template available. Thanks alot. I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hi Jeanette,
Thank you for your response. When I download the flipbook-images.zip it download as a TGZ file format. Is that correct? I tried open it in Storyline and it says "Unable to Open this file. It was created in a newer version of Storyline."
Thank you,
Arturo

Hi Arturo - the attachment I posted a few minutes ago is a zip file, so you'll need to extract (unzip) the contents. There are 3 .png files in the attachment.
If you are using Storyline, however, you can alternatively use the source file posted earlier, near the top of the thread. Here is the link to download the Storyline file (but keep in mind, it too is zipped, so you'll need to extract the contents before you can open the file in Storyline).

Hello, Any chance of getting a new link to download the Storyline file for the flipbook as mentioned above? That link no longer works, and I'd sure like to have a copy of it. Thank You.

File does not seem to want to download anymore - it just goes to a bunch of code

Thanks, Jeanette. Added to my resources. Question: is the page curl (for the hover) an image? Did you create it yourself? I'd like to be able to do that with some of the things I'm working on. I see it a lot, and I like it!

Thanks, Jeanette. So here's a question. I tried that page curl out on 4 different pieces of paper: yellow ruled, yellow sticky, white paper with a grey tinge, and white lined paper. In "real life", when the page is lifted up, the "underneath" page looks just like it: yellow lined, white lined, etc. But not with this page curl. So how would you create that real-life effect in Storyline? Or perhaps PowerPoint to import into SL?

Jeanette,
Thanks for the Screenr and tutorial links. I created a page curl. It probably won't look so great to y'all with "eagle graphic designer eyes" . Just trying to play with it relatively quickly to see if I could push through to where I want to be and then get advice from y'all.
I'm uploading a PPT where I placed the curl on top of yellow lined paper. This is what I'd like to achieve. When the page is curled back, I'd like it to show the same color, pattern, what have you as it would if you did it in real life.
If you look at the notes inside the ppt, you'll see what I did. Any suggestions for improvement are much appreciated!

Wow, Jeanette. That looks great. I just pulled it apart to see more clearly what you meant.
Question: Is that page curl really OK? If so, I can use it on other things. And I don't want to spend time finessing it. But I rely on your (and others with graphic design experience) critical eye, and if I need to tweak it I will spend the time.

Hey Becky! As with any visual design element, there's no end to how much changing or tweaking you could do. For what it's worth, to me it looks great. Like you, I am not a "trained" graphic designer. I rely on great ideas that I observe in print & web designs, and I try to adopt the things that seem to work really well.
