Sharing New 508 Compliance Tool for Storyline 360
Hello everyone. I have created a new Accessibility menu for Storyline 360 to give some much needed features. This is nearing completion and we hope to begin using it as an organization. What I have here is a tab for accessibility that lightboxes in a new menu.
Currently, this menu has four buttons. The first lets you download a transcript of the course. The next two buttons allows you to increase and decrease the Closed Caption text size. The final button opens up a lightbox with the Audio Descriptive Version of the video. There are triggers placed on each slide that create some of the variables the menu uses to function and then to determine if the Audio Description is needed. If it is not, it disables the button and hides it from screen readers and from view. This way the user doesn't see the button and wonder if they are missing out.
If you would like to test the menu here is a link to test it and attached is the source file if you would like to try and implement it yourself.

Two disclaimers currently: I do not own the video or audio content on the second slide. I borrowed a clip from star wars and the audio comes from the Audio Description Project. Both are credited and there is a link to the Audio Description Project in resources.
Secondly, there is one issue with the accessibility menu I am working to try and solve. I am not strong in coding and I can't seem to get my overflow to work on my menu. So when I resize my screen, my buttons get pushed off screen. I've tried forcing the overflow and it just doesn't implement. I don't know if I'm making a mistake, or if its some weird overwrite that Storyline does. I've had other instances of that in the past.
