Using Storyline as a presentation
I'm developing a 4 hour course and that will be presented virtually. I thought that using storyline to create the slides would be helpful and a really cool idea. I was wondering if anyone has done t...

Yes! This is what I was thinking. I'm planning to add a 'menu' button to the slides that I want to return to the 'main menu'. This also allows me the ability to cover sub topics within a bigger topic using icons for navigation. The presentation takes on a branching appearance instead of a straight vertical line. I also like the idea of using states for icons so they appear greyed out when I've finished showing them to the audience.
The script will be on a separate screen, so I'm not too worried about that.
What I am worried about though, is allowing text to appear on the screen when I want it to. If I set it to appear after I click a button, ALL the text appears and not line by line. How can I make text show up easily when I want it to and not all at one time?
If the text is all in one text box, you could have it animate on by paragraph (instead of as one object).
FYI: when you do that, the text becomes a Group in the Timeline, and you can adjust the timing of each paragraph individually.
Another option would be to put the text in separate objects, and then cue their appearance by clicking separate buttons. Or have the first one animate on when the button is clicked, and have the subsequent ones animate one when the animation completes on the previous one.
Just make sure your script includes info about what to do on each slide to show the content.
