Using picture as slider, not only thumb (slider itself invisible)
When you insert a slider, Storyline automatically creates a number variable to track the steps.
Typically, the user moves the thumb, and that automatically adjusts the variable. However, it can work the other way: if a trigger adjusts the variable, that moves the slider. For smoother movement, you need more steps.
This post has a file that explains how to get continuous movement with a dial. The same type of programming would work on sliders, too. You'll just have to experiment with the number of steps you use.
Personally, I think using a motion path would be easier and would provide more control.
Thanks for your response Judy, I'll check out that resource you mentioned.
Let's suppose the target someone is going for isn't necessarily smooth movement. Or for whatever other reason, they want to use a slider. Is the answer to the question is that it is not possible to replace the slider thumb with a picture?
