Setting up software demo so clue appears before the click
Jan 28, 2013
I'd like to create a software demo/simulation so that the comment, with the clue saying "Click here..." will appear before the person clicks. This is a great way to teach people to use a software by guiding them through for hands-on experience---not just for knowledge checks. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to do this with Storyline. Am I missing something, or can the parameters be set up before recording? And/or can they be changed globally, after recording, to have the timing of the comment come in before the click/trigger. It's very labor-intensive to make this change for every trigger. Any ideas?

Hi Carla,
Funny you should mention this. I was working on a project yesterday where I wanted to display the Hint Caption after X number of tries. And I was thinking on creating a Screenr for my solution. In the meantime, here are steps for a solution for you and for what I did.
To start the hint caption immediately
Display the Hint Caption after "X" number of tries
Thank you! This information will be very helpful.

i have been trying to do this as well. I began to do this, but I have 200+ slides. Is there a way to change all at once or set a default?
Hi Kristin! Unfortunately no. You may be able to accomplish this from Storyview though (still individually though), which keeps you from having to pull up each individual slide (might save you a few clicks).
