How to animate a card flip?

Hello everyone,

I want to animate a card that flips when the user clicks, something like a memory card. By just changing the states, the card has no movement and the animation paths in storyline starts with the timeline, not by a click. Is there a simple way to realize that?  

Really looking forward to your ideas! :)

    I put in a feature request over a year ago to have this be a built in function like Rise and other programs have.  Not sure whatever happened with it.  We should not have to create all these steps for a simple action that should be built into the product.

    Again.. Where are we with the feature request from over a year and a half ago.  Flip card is a pre-Built element in almost every authoring tool, including many LMSs.   Articulate already has it in Rise 360.  For SL, it should not require watching how-to videos and creating states and triggers. 

     

  • Yes, please, make it a feature! This is really essential for an authoring tool, please add it to storyline. 

    I had the problem with flipcards too and I could solve it. So here is my fix for storyline:

    I am cutting the Swivel Interaction in two parts and added layers for the interaction going forward and backwards. The result looks quite similar to the rise Flashcards.

      Hi Michael!

      Thanks for sharing the feedback and also for sharing the sample file! I'm sure other users designing a similar interaction will find the workaround very useful!

      Have a great rest of your week!
