Drag and Drop: Move drop object behind another item.

Hey Zoe!

Have you thought about changing the drag items states to Hidden when they are dropped on their correct drop targets? Here's the trigger you'll need:

Hi Alyssa, thank you for the reply. 

I had considered this and it will probably be my fallback but I'd prefer a smoother transition as the state change can be quite jarring - I'd worry the learner might think there was a bug. I tried applying animations to the state change but it did not work. 

Hopefully the community can chime in and share their tips, as well. It might be helpful if you could attach a sample slide so they can see what you've got set up so far. 

I'm having a similar but different problem. I'm wanting the top most drag & drop object set by "reveal drag items one at a time" to be in the foreground of the drop zone items. However it seems like the target zone objects are given foreground status regardless of any other settings. I would have thought that the top most item to drag & drop would be given foreground status. Any suggestions? Not sure if this is just a limitation of the feature or my lack of knowhow.

I know how to do this! Can anyone hold my beer so I have two hands working on this? ;)

Hello Ben and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

You're in the right place to be notified of updates we have to share regarding this.

Thanks, Daniel! It's five o'clock somewhere and I look forward to seeing your solution.

Hi,

Here's my prototype of drag and drop simulation where the dropped object animates behind. :) I called this fancy drag and drop. If this is Flash, I can control the SwapDepths and have a smooth animation.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ewan,

You are correct. This issue is still open with our team, but this conversation is attached so that we can share any updates with you here.

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering the same issue with the latest version of Storyline. Has the issue been resolved since 2020?

With Javascript you can change the z-index of elements so they go into a lower depth as before... or higher if wanted...
