tutorial on 508 compliance?
I would love (love!) to see a tutorial on how to use the 508 features in the new Storyline software. All the video tutorials you folks post are really helpful and since Storyline is said to be 508 ...
Hi, Jon -
That's a tough one. I think the order resets when a new object is shown and the tab order around the edge is a little goofy and unpredictable. One way to help is to build some keyboard navigation into your slide master using key triggers (Jump to slide > next slide > When user presses a key > Right). That way there's a convenient way for the user (including fully physically capable folks) to use convenient navigation using the keyboard.
The other way you might be able to get around this is by putting next / back navigation off the stage to the right of your interaction. Since tab order goes left to right from top to bottom you can leverage the mechanic by placing navigation elements specifically for use by keyboard tabbers off of the slide. By adding this to your slide master it could minimize pain of adding these to every slide.
Using this same mechanic you could skip over repeat links by adding slide level buttons at the top of the slide, just out of view.
Hope this helps,
Steve
