Simulating code development in Storyline

Do you have an example of a simulation for typing code blocks? Storyline text entries do not seem to support typing in multiple lines. This is for a course on web development where we would like ...

Hi, Walt,

I agree about tool choice. Using Storyline is a client requirement :(

For other clients, we've used IBM Skills Network. It has a cloud IDE and other tools.

    I do agree with all that Storyline isnot the proper tool for this. However you can build sort of simulations of how code works and let users play around with the options in the code.

    I did build several samples of GSAP code where the user can change something and the code will be executed.

    The sample added in the post above shows that internally you can work with different variables being set in Storyline and then execute the proper function with 'eval(stringtoExecute);' in Storyline javascript. Purist in development probably will state 'eval' is a no-go zone, but it happens to be the only method to get things like this done in Storyline.
