Showing One Page Without the Player
Hello. Is there a way to show one page without the player showing. The reason is for navigation instructions. I want to have arrows pointing directly to MENU, GLOSSARY, RESOURCES, etc. That can be done now, but within the confines of the player. Up to this point I am using instructions click on " " in the upper left, upper right, etc. If I create a movie, the movie is of the player which is undesirable being inside the player in itself. Or any ideas for alternatives?
It would be helpful to know if it is possible to have pages without the player or if its either on or off. Thank you.
Hello Gary!
Happy to help! It's possible to completely hide or remove the player from your Storyline course. Note that this setting will be true for the whole duration of the course. Here's how:
You can hide the player features, such as the Menu and Seekbar, on a slide-by-slide basis by following the steps here.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Another option would be to create a slide and make it a lightbox - The slide could contain an image of what you want to show.
We generally have a similar approach to yours, where we remind users of the navigation, etc.; using a single graphic with large arrows pointing things out is a good idea (and efficient).
Thank you for the response. Turning the player off is the ultimate empty canvas. My company moved from Lectora to Articulate so Im still learning the differences. The player provides everything Lectora was weaker on (without javascript) in a format Im being to directed to create. The GLOSSARY, RESOURCES, and configurable option on the MENU are all welcomed. It does not sound like its possible to turn the player off for a page being all or nothing. Ill experiment with the light box.
It comes down to arrows pointing to what is being described. If there were a way to insert images over the player that would be a solution. I have not been able to find a way of doing that.
That actually sounds fairly simple: just create a layer for each arrow that appears/disappears when the learner hovers on/away from the object. Try that.
