Layers, Slides, or lightboxes
Ok, I need to explain what I want to do in real-world terms, instead of Storyline jargon, so you all understand what I am trying to achieve in the Storyline environment.
Imagine you are creating...
@Walt--I am sorry Walt, my example was hypothetical. I was using it as an example to illustrate an experience I am trying to create. I already have the pictures and text boxes created. It is more like choose a card from this stack and choose a card from this stack and look at them and read the text. Think of it this way. You are given two stacks of playing cards and you are asked to pull one out from each stack and view them simultaneously. I am trying to have the students pull from a finite stack of pictures and a finite stack of textboxes not by looking at each one. Instead, I have created a random number generator of sorts where first they pick a number for each stack. Each picture and text object has its own unique numbering system ie p1 or t1. Then I want the picture object and text object they choose to appear in the same place (i.e. slide, layer, or lightbox) at the same time. So, the students are picking numbers that correspond to picture and text objects, not actually shuffling through stacks of pictures and text to "paste" like an actual art project. Basically, the dilemma is finding a way to have both pieces appear in the same place at the same time.
