Nesting objects

I can't find a way to animate a menu with multiple "buttons" (objects with states) so that the menu fly in from the side as one object. 

If anyone has a solution that you'd like to share I would be super happy!

Thanks

  • Hi Fredric,

    Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! ✨

    I understand you would like your button menu to fly in as one object. I'm happy to help! I recorded a quick video that showcases the process.

    • Select each button (you can use the Ctrl key).
    • Select the Animations tab
    • Find Entrance Animations, and select Fly In
    • Click Effect Options to choose where the object will enter from, then select As One Object

    You can learn more about adding animation, here. I hope this helps! if you need additional assistance, you can share your .story file with us here, or privately through a support case. We will delete it from our systems when troubleshooting is complete. 

  • Hi, Kelly

    Thanks so much for your reply. So, it seems like the "As one object" options is available using proper buttons and text boxes but not other objects, e.g. shapes. Any thoughts?

    Have a great day!

  • Hi Fredric,

    To create the buttons in the file above, I inserted three rectangles and added text to each one. You can also have shapes Fly In together by grouping them!

    Here are the steps:

    • Select shapes you want grouped
    • Right click and select Group
    • Select the Animations tab
    • Find Entrance Animations, and select Fly In
    • Click Effect Options to choose where the object will enter from

    Please let me know if you have additional questions. I'll be happy to help!
