Scrolling panel with trigger
Hi all, I have a project with a scrolling panel on one of the slides, and I want the next button to be hidden until they are done scrolling. Is there any triggers/variables that can make it possible...
ok. Actually, I was playing around with this and I had a slight problem with it. In order, for the hot spot to be triggered the user has to let go of the scroll bar and move the mouse over the embedded hot spot. Not a big deal, but functionally annoying.
So, I thought. Wouldn't it be better if the trigger point occurred while the user was still holding the scroll bar?
The issue I found was the difficulty of placing a hotspot over a scrolling panel. The hotspot becomes a part of the scrolling panel content.
Solution: Place the hotspot over the scroll bar, not the content, and extending outside the scroll bar.
I'm glad to say. It worked perfectly.
Here is how I am using this technique. To trigger audio layers when the user scrolls to certain points within a fairly long scrolling panel. The next thing I'm going to try is to see if I can get the trigger to temporarily remove the ability to scroll while the audio is playing. If I can get it to work I'll let you know.
