Hi Geert!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I just used it in this week's valentine-themed #ELHChallenge!  

Here's the demo.

That's awesome Jackie :) Thanks for sharing that this thread is still helping users and thanks for sharing your project :)

My pleasure, Leslie! I seriously wouldn't have been able to construct this unless I'd found Geert's generous share. Just another example of the extensive value of a great community. :) 

I agree, and I love seeing when these old threads are still assisting others :)

Thanks for sharing Geert. Great use of javascript into storyline!

What a great find Jackie, thanks for sharing!

And of course, thanks to Geert! :) 

@Gert - thanks for sharing.

@Jackie - thanks for the link to this thread.

I hope using this trick in any future challenges.

Veronica & Joanna: You're welcome - I'm so glad if you can use this, too!

Wow! That's amazing Jackie! Thanks  for sharing and pointing to this post.

I couldn't find the Java script ... I hope I am looking at the right post.. Would love to learn more.

Thanks

Hi Vanita!

Here's how you can see the actual JavaScript:

1. Download Geert's "spinning_wheel.story" file above.
2. Open it, and on the main slide, select the Spin button. In the trigger panel you'll see its trigger says "Execute JavaScript when the user clicks".
3. Click to edit the trigger. Where it says "Script", click on the ellipsis (see image below) and an editing window will open.
   
   
   
   
4. This is where you'll see the JavaScript (and in fact - here it is!):

I hope that helps!

Thanks for your continued assistance Jackie :)

My pleasure, Leslie! :)

Hi Jackie,

I'm trying to work out my own spinning wheel, but having difficulty with making it work. I've used Geert's example, but I can't seem to make it spin. Could you share your Storyline file so I can see what I'm doing wrong? 

Thank you!

Hi Becky! Geert's .story file is attached to her initial post.

Hi Becky!

Leslie's right - Geert's file is your best bet. Examining it is where I got 100% of my information about the spinning wheel, the javascript behind it, and how to make it work.

I seem to recall it was easy to break when I tried to recreate it in a new file, so I ended up literally using Geert's file as the basis for mine and simply built on top of it. Way easier than trying to pretend I suddenly knew the first thing about javascript. :)

I found that proceeding with baby steps - just changing one image or one layer or one bit of javascript at a time, then testing it to be sure it still worked - was the way to go. It takes care and patience, but the result is a happily spinning wheel.

I am having issues with the spinner as well. I published the original file that Geert shared, and the spinner does not move. Any thoughts?

It could be that JAVA isn't enabled on your machine(s)

Thank you Geert for the idea. I had wondered this myself, and it is enabled. Does this have to be a storyline2 course?

Hi Dave,

No, it was originally designed for a SL1 course

Thanks for your assistance Geert :)

Hi All Heroes,

I have created the same spin wheel in storyline 2 using javascript and its working fine. User will get a random number on every spin also i have added some questions in this spin wheel game. Try it and enjoy...

Thanks and here is the demo link:
