Quick confirmation of Storyline limitation

Hi folks, 

I had a quick query I was hoping you could help with. I'm trying to create a scrolling effect as students go from one point to the next that have been mapped onto a slider. So let's say students drag the slider down to point 1, element 1 moves down into the screen, students drag down to point 2, element 1 moves down off screen and element 2 moves down into screen, and so on.

The problem I'm running into is that while the animation with the motion path works right in one direction, it doesn't switch directions when students come back to point 1 from point 2 (in which case the direction of the motion should reverse for directional consistency with the slider, so elements should move up not down).

Is this a limitation of Storyline? I believe so, but I'd appreciate a quick confirmation.

Thank you!

    Not sure is this would be helpful, but the Scrolling panel might work exactly the way you want this feature to be. If you need to match it to the slider, you might try grouping all of the components together to get them to move together. Not sure if that will work, but it might be worth a try.

    Hi Joshua, thank you for responding.

    I think you are saying that the scrolling panel can be connected to the slider, correct? I'm not sure if that's working for me. Would the idea then be that we can hide the slider's bar out of the viewing area and make it such that when the student hits slider point #2, the scrolling panel will pull up the second illustration, and so on...?
