    Yeah, i do think its because of the way Storyline implements its timeline. Basically Storyline's timeline is a GSAP timeline. If we could only hack that internally, that would be way better.

    You might consider forgetting about Storyline's timeline. I mostly do. Building interactions in Storyline without using the timeline and layers i prefer. Never any problems..and with GSAP build in into SL360 im good.
