Hi Math,

Many thanks, you are awesome.

My learning: To "select" an object of the storyline product, it is required to use the "alt text" which can be defined via: right click on the object - Accessibility - Alternate Text.

The name of the object used within the timeline is purely used by storyline. :-)

Many thanks for this lesson, Math :-)

    Small correction... To act on any element in your Storyline using Javascript you first need to be able to select it. I use the 'accessibility names' as selectors. Its easy, you can create groups of elements as they act as classLists...and more benefits. It is only needed when using Javascript, and there are more options. You can use jQuery as selector and more...but it is at the moment the most versatile method of selecting elements in Storyline...
