Tap/click to show navigation
Jun 18, 2012
Hello everyone,
I'd like to introduce myself by submitting my first simple story.
This is a simple "tap or click" navigation template using layers and a single variable.

This saves some precious screen real estate for your slides. The hotspot appears for 5 seconds, then automatically disappears.
There's a help button (that you need to link to your appropriate help slide). There's also a change narrator button (disabled by default) just in case you have 2 different voices in your courses (again you need to modify the trigger manually).
Let me know what you think ! Any ideas to improve this would be greatly appreciated.
Last but not least, congratulations on what looks as a ground-breaking product!

Sweet! Nicely done, Alex! And welcome to Heroes
I can imagine some really cool uses for this kind of template. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is awesome Alexandros! I'm adding this to my Storyline template folder.
People are always looking for new ways to save screen real-estate - this template lets you hide it until you need it - what a great idea!

To those who need "simulated" swipe functionality, I am uploading a variation of the above story, that includes one.
Just swipe in (virtually) anywhere but the "navi reserved" hotspot area to get to the previous/next slide. This works surprisingly well in HTML5 as well.
This functionality is recommended mostly for slides that follow a non-interactive path (although I'm sure it can be included in cases of interactive content - albeit with a little bit of tweaking). But hopefully this is a good way to start playing with something like this...

Other than that, not much else has changed from the other template.
Looking forward to your comments and suggestions!
Enjoy!

Very nice Alex. Ingenious use of hotspots.
What I can't figure out is how you got rid of the "Next" "Previous" buttons on the player?
Oops, cancel that question. I figured out how to get rid of the next and previous button. It's in the slide properties... easy...
Hi Saffir,
Have a look at the following link. There's a better version there :
