Positional problems with moving objects in articulate

Hi all,

I am trying to build a storyline file where I want an object in this case a circle, move from one point of the screen to another. If you look at the attached file and preview it, at the start of the movie, it moves horizontally from one position of the screen and then stops until it's left side is just behind the the vertical black line (which is what I want). However, when I publish this to the Review 360 platform, it does not stop in the same position.

I don't quite understand why it is doing this so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Keith

    Thanks! But if you look at the movie, I am not using motion paths. I am using javascript!

    I have a solution with variables that you might be able to augment. If you open "Group 1" in the timeline you will see the digit Focus "Rectangle" that you can turn into your circle maybe. Then look at the DialStepperBottomTL1 variable triggers. This is the only trigger that you need to copy. When the large grey dial turns (the trigger) the rectangle (blue highlight rectangle) moves one space. 

    I hope this helps.

    You can reference a circle using the new "object()" function. It should resolve your issue.

    const oval1 = object('6Dio9gtDM4Z'); // change to your object id
gsap.to(oval1, {duration: 2,x: "+=180"});
