And that is NEVER update Articulate Storyline immediately when Articulate sends an update.
As they done it again. The latest update ( 3.86.32080.0 ) fails to work with older Javascript triggers. Downgrading to the version before it... ( 3.85 ) and all works properly again.
i would have expected there to be problems between version 3.83 and 3.84
the logic of user.js* has changed - it is now loaded very early and has new undocumented functions
* all Javascript triggers are saved here
Didnot notice any problems between those 2 versions... not sure why now... no too complicated code...but it did not work. Storyline crashing in 3.86 when opening a JS-trigger. Same Storyline in 3.85 i can edit the JS normally.
Hi Jürgen, have you dug into any of those functions yet?
Hi Math,
We haven't had any reports of issues with JavaScript triggers since Update 86 was released ~3 weeks ago.
To confirm: are you experiencing an issue with your JavaScript triggers working in your published output, or with opening and editing them within Storyline?
The moment i try to edit the existing Javascript trigger Storyline crashes.
I test it when i have time with some other files.
PS: And maybe im mistaken in the version number...but the latest one. I got a message about updating yesterday and did it immediately. So not 3 weeks ago.
Thanks for clarifying. I have a theory about what might have happened. I will email you with more details.
For what it's worth, I'm on 3.86 and have not encountered any issues with JS triggers.
the new emphasize animations are solved with normal javascript in user,js, e.g.
function ExecuteScript(strId) {
switch (strId) {
case "5iJndnVgyvU": // trigger on timeline starts
Script1();
break;
case "6NRem5OttDF": // trigger emphasize animation
Script2();
break;
}
}
window.InitExecuteScripts = function () {
var player = GetPlayer();
var object = player.object;
var addToTimeline = player.addToTimeline;
var setVar = player.SetVar;
var getVar = player.GetVar;
window.Script1 = function () {
console.log("hallo world");
};
window.Script2 = function () {
const target = object("60g35ET153K");
const duration = 750;
const easing = "ease-in-out";
const id = "6l0E5nUIcp0";
const growAmount = 0.2;
player.addForTriggers(
id,
target.animate([{ scale: `${1 + growAmount}` }], {
fill: "forwards",
duration,
easing,
})
);
};
};
the consequence is
Ah, thanks.
