Function Keys Interactivity in Storyline Using JavaScript
I am creating simulation for a software in storyline. This simulation has function keys interactivity - F2,F3,F10,F11.
I was able to write trigger code - Jump to Slide when user presses F3 keys. ...
I have never been able to get that code to work when I put it in, but could be user error. However if you want to eliminate using java in your program the storyline 360 is the way to go. All I had to do was create a trigger to jump to the next page when user clicks F5 and its good to go! But it is good to know that it is a possibility to get done in S2!
Chelsea - If the function keys are all working for you with 360, that is amazing! When you publish your files, have you tested this function in Chrome and Internet Explorer? Our learners are split about 50/50 between these two browsers. With what Owen has helped with, it worked on IE, but not in Chrome. Additionally, with the F1 selection, does it open help? I sincerely appreciate any info you can provide on this.
I'm using chrome and it works for me. Cross browser support is always tricky.
Try this code as an alternative to disable all of the function keys instead of what i listed before and see if you get a better result:document.onkeydown = function (e) {
var key = e.charCode || e.keyCode;
if (key >= 112 && key <= 123) {
e.preventDefault();
} else {
// non function key so do nothing
}
}See attached SL2 file with alternate code.
Do we open the html file in note pad to make the change? Not sure where to go in note pad to in my case disable F1 and F4.
Add a trigger to execute JavaScript when your slide timeline starts. Copy and paste the code into the JavaScript code window in StoryLine. Once published, the function keys should become disabled when the slide timeline starts.
