Dragging to reveal content?
Hi Agadja, yes—you can create that kind of drag-to-reveal interaction in Storyline! The most straightforward way is to use a drag-and-drop setup:
Create the object to drag and the hidden content that will be revealed.
Set a drop target (even if it’s invisible) on the slide where the content should be revealed.
Use triggers so that when the object is dropped (or dragged past a certain X/Y position), the hidden content becomes visible.
You don’t strictly need a slider, though sliders can be useful if you want smooth, progressive reveal. With drag-and-drop and triggers, you can make it feel like the user is directly dragging to uncover content, giving a more interactive experience.
Thanks, Clarabelle.
Would you know if any examples/samples exist out there because I feel like it would take a lot of time to create a lot of triggers to reveal the content underneath if--let's say--the content being revealed is long and rectangular. That would mean a lot of triggers have to be created to create a natural flow when dragging.
