Is there a way for users to try out the beta builds?

Generally speaking customers that are interested in using the private beta builds can be added to the beta program by e-mailing beta@articulate.com  and requesting access. 

For Morph Transition, we are hosting an Early Access program that will give a small number of users access to the feature before everyone else in the private beta. If you’re interested in Early Access for Morph Transition you can fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTN4suEZMCCp4fC-GzVdWSsga_HUmOTDYSjzVo-Yntij9b5A/viewform

    Is there any way Storyline can talk to embedded web objects? For example, when I embed a web page inside SL, it would be great if I can trigger some action inside the SL from my embedded web page. Let's say, when I click the button inside my web page, next button inside SL appears.

      I don't think the exact scenario you're describing wouldn't be very easy to do, and honestly any interop between Storyline and embedded web object is technically possible, but would depend a lot on what the embedded content is and what you want to be able to control within Storyline. This is not something that we currently offer first-class support for, but you may be able to get something to work. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

      Using postMessage you can talk to any WebObject.

      Showcasing that here...

      https://360.articulate.com/review/content/b3935817-adfd-42b0-ab26-0326c9fec333/review

      The buttons apparently donot work ( anymore as they did originally :-( ) on Review.
      But you can notice logs in the console, so it is working.

      You need to setup a eventlistener in your index.html for your Webwindow/iframe. The index.html for my sample is like this.

      <body>

<object
      data="./SERMaIEL.pdf"
      type="application/pdf"
      width="100%"
      height="700px"
   ></object>

</body>
 <script>
 window.message = "";

window.addEventListener("message", function(event) {
    let data = event.data;
console.log("event called");
  if(data.length > 4 && data!= "clickedPrint" && data!= "clickedSaveAs"){
  }else if(data === "clickedPrint"){
       console.log("print called");
    window.focus();
    window.print();
  }else if(data === "clickedSaveAs"){
    console.log("saveAs called");
        window.focus();
    window.saveAs();
  }
 
});

</script>



      In your Storyline you need to select the iframe and then use 'PostMessage' to call the event in the WebObject/iframe.

      For the printbutton thats like this:

      const iframe = document.querySelector("#slide-window > div > div > span > div > div > div > div.slide-layer.base-layer.shown > span > div.slide-object.slide-object-webobject.shown.cursor-hover > div > iframe");
const iframeWindow = iframe.contentWindow;
iframeWindow.postMessage("clickedPrint", "*");

      postMessage is the approach you can target any functionality in an WebObject or iframe.

    Good morning, has there been any further development of the Morph tool? Is there any indication of a more general test release?
