Dial / Base layer issue

I have made a full screen background image to my base layer and I've created a dial on this layer to show different layers as the dial is turned.  However, I would like the different layers to have a full screen background as well and for the dial to remain there, but as the dial is turned the respective background layer/full screen image appears in front of the dial. Any solutions please!

 

 

  • Add the image to states on the base image and change state when the dial changes

    Hello Phil,

    Sorry, I'm new to Storyline so please bear with me. Attached are 2 screenshots.  I've added the image 'bg2'to the base layer. It can be seen listed in the Timeline (Screenshot 1), however, how do I go about changing the state for when the dial changes, as the triggers are greyed out (Screenshot2). 

    Thank you in advance.

      Hello Will,

      Happy to chime in!

      Since your dial exists on the base layer, displaying a layer with an image that covers the whole slide will also cover all of the elements found in the base layer. 

      I've attached a sample project file so you can see how you can display different slide content using states instead of layers. You'll see in the file that a different state of the object will be displayed when the dial is moved. Within this state you can include other objects such as images and text. Let me know if you have any questions with the design.

      Also, I wanted to invite you to our tips and tricks webinars. Once each month at 11am ET, our training team hops on a live call to answer top questions from our customers.

      It's super casual (and they're super smart!), so it's a great place to get expert tips and answers to frequently asked questions from our online community. In short, everything you need to create incredible online learning! You can register for the next call here: https://articulate.fyi/3ZiKgu9

      And don't worry if you can't make it, because everyone who registers will get a recording sent to them afterwards! There's also a huge list of on-demand past trainings available.

      Hope to see you there!

  • Hi Will,

    Your network may be blocking the message to the community when it's sent via email. We received your message to Joe in an email thanking him and stating, "The backgrounds are now behind the dial."

    I'm happy to hear the problem is now sorted out. If you need help with anything else, please let us know here in the E-Learning Heroes Community or privately in a support case. We'll be happy to assist you!
