rising balloons or falling confetti?

Does anybody have/can anybody find a template where there's balloons rising on a layer? I remember seeing this in one of the templates on this site months and months ago, potentially as part of a feedback layer. I'm trying to find that now and I can't find it. Either rising balloons or falling confetti or *some* kind moving "yay" item to include on a yes feedback layer. Thanks in advance!

  • Hi Gloria!

    Looks like Wendy has popped in to assist you and I wanted to share a similar question here that was asked yesterday as well where another user is getting some assistance.

    Hi Zsolt

    I’m trying to add your example to a project I’m working on but I just can’t get the confetti to fall. 
    I imported your slide into my project and then copied the triggers over, created the WebObject variable but can’t get the confetti. What am I missing? 

    Lastly, do you know where i can find the  Js code?  It is no longer available on github. 

    thanks so much!!

  • In case anyone is looking for a super simple and low-tech way to do this, I just inserted some illustrated balloons (an illustrated bunch of 3 in different colors to make it faster) from the Content Library onto my slide. Then I duplicated it (CTRL+D) to make several of them. I made some smaller and larger and distributed them across the slide, then selected them all at once on the timeline and made them each last only 2 seconds before flying out of the slide (via exit animation). I then changed the speed of the animation on a few of them for more variety in the appearance/to make it look more realistic. This sounds like a lot but it only took a couple of minutes :) When the learner reaches a "congrats, you've finished" type slide, the balloons fly out.

      Hi Kayleigh!

      Thanks for reaching out and sharing that streamlined way of adding a balloon animation to your Storyline 360 course! I'm sure other users discovering this thread will find it very helpful!

      Have a great rest of your week and happy authoring!
