Storyline: 5-Step Action Interaction

David, I really like this interaction and would like to use it but after downloading the file, I find that I am unable to edit it,  Occasionally when I have downloaded templates from the community I have been asked it I want to make them writable but was not prompted to do that with this file.  Can you help? Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary - Sorry about the download issues. I just zipped the file so that should help. Can you try downloading again? If that doesn't help, I'll post the file to a different server and send you the link. David

Thanks David, I downloaded again and this time I did get a prompt to make the template writable.  The 5-Step Action Interaction title is now editable but the other text such as the  action title on each layer and the Step 1, 2, etc. cannot be changed.  Perhaps the step text was not meant to be changed.  Not sure if I am missing something in getting this to work for me.

Hey Mary! Glad to hear that worked. When you open the file, take a look at the Timeline and locate the "frame" object. If you click the eye icon, you can "hide" the graphic. Hiding the graphic lets you select each of the step tabs below. From there, you can edit the text for the tabs. After you edit the tabs, turn the frame object back on by clicking the closed eye icon. The frame graphic is also found in each of the slide layers, so don't forget to turn it off when editing the tabs on each slide layer. Let me know how that helps. I can put a quick tutorial together tomorrow if you think it will help.

That was it - thanks so much!

Great!! thank you

thanks

i am a brand new user and want to include this template in my new project.  how can i put the template in my project?  Or do I have to recreate it from scratch. Sorry for such a silly question, but I am trying to learn.

From within your storyline file ->  click Insert -> New Slide -> Import -> Storyline -> navigate to where you saved the template -> doubelick it -> import. Hope this helps.

Hi David, I have used this template and love it. We are working to be 508 compliant.  For some reason when I publish it I cannot get JAWS to pick up anything.  Do you know why this might be happening? Let me know if you want to take a look at the file. Thanks, Mary

yaaaaaayyyyyy

David, I seem to be having trouble with this. I downloaded the file and selected that I wanted it to be writable. I tried going into the object on the timeline and making it "not visible," as you stated it an earlier comment, but when I try to change the content, it will allow me to change it in the left-hand column of the timeline, but not on the actual timeline or screen itself, if that makes sense. I'm sure it has to be something I am doing. Do you have anything else I can try to get it to work? Thanks in advance!

Nevermind David, I was able to figure it out. I have to bring the object forward. It wasn't letting me edit it since it was behind other objects. Thanks and great interaction!

I know it is an old thread but I am trying to download the file and it keeps appearing in a word document.

Hi David, This is a brilliant template. I was looking for a simple blue and white template for a school project. Thank you so much for sharing your design!

Great one David..

Very nice interaction. Thanks!

This is nice. Using it for my project.
