Javascript to print out content of Scrolling Panel in Storyline?

Hi Julian,

Did you figure out how to do this?  This is exactly what I am looking to do.  Althought, I just have text in the scrolling text box.

Thank you,

Julie

Hi Julian, and welcome to Heroes! 

Although we don't support the coding of Javascript, I wanted to point you to this article of best practices and some examples to get you going. There are also a number of community members who are well versed in Javascript and they may chime in here and be able to help you out. 

Ashley and Julian,

Thanks for the replies!  I decided to go a different route.  I’m working with our IT department to create a hidden folder on our network that only has “Read” access.  I’m going to create a slide at the end of each path in my branching scenario that has a triggered button or hotspot (see image below) which will launch the user out to a file.  I’m creating my feedback documents in Word and then going to .pdf them so the user can Save or Print them.

I wish there was an easier way to Print (and email) content that is located on slides in Storyline.  I hope they add this type of functionality to future Storyline updates.

Thank you,

Julie

Thanks Julie for posting this in both threads to update people! 

I'm having a similar problem, but cannot find a fix. I want to print the content from a scrolling panel. 

window.print(); alone doesn't work.

I also tried the following to no aval:

window.print();

var name = player.GetVar("Variable2");

Would appreciate any advice

Hi Sam,

This thread is a bit older, so I'm not certain if folks are still subscribed but you may want to begin by reviewing the Javascript trigger elements here and then sharing a bit more of your file so that folks in the community could take a look as it's not something we can offer support for. 

I am having the same issue with the JavaScript not working I am using window.print(); as indicated in the Trigger elements but nothing is occurring. 

Hi Helena,

Are you testing the published output in the intended environment? I know that's a common hiccup, as the Javascript won't work when you're viewing the content locally. If you're not ready to place within your web server or LMS you could look at using one of the options here or SCORM Cloud. 

I have tried it in the LMS and it shows a blank page instead of the actual content on that slide. 

Hi Helena,

You may want to post the Javascript code from your entire file here so that those in the community could assist.
