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!

    Hello,

    That's a classic Articulate Storyline quirk! The difference between Preview and the published Review 360 output is often caused by motion path easing.

    Try this fix:

    Select your circle's motion path.

    Go to the Animations tab.

    Click Path Options.

    Change the Easing Direction from its default ("In & Out") to None.

    Easing  can render inconsistently between environments. Setting it to None forces a constant speed, which usually results in pixel-perfect stopping in the published course.

    If that doesn't work, you might need to use the X/Y coordinates on the ribbon to make the motion path's end point one or two pixels shorter to compensate for the slight visual shift in Review 360.
