Alternative Text in a Text Box Object
I’m currently using Storyline 360 (Build 3.101.34925.0) with the AI upgrade. While reviewing a text box object (via right-click > Size and Position > Accessibility), I noticed that the Alt Text field is auto-filled with the entire contents of the text box. I don’t recall this behavior in previous builds, and I find it odd that the full text is inserted into the Alternative Text field, especially since that field has a 150-character limit. Additionally, the “Object is visible to accessibility tools” option is checked by default, but I believe I need that checked to have it show in the Focus Order. The inserted text appears in a lighter shade, and when I try to remove it, it simply reappears after I close and reopen the Accessibility window. Interestingly, when I check the Focus Order, the Alt Text field remains empty. I do have Text-to-Speech enabled on these pages, but I’m not sure if that’s related. Is this a new behavior introduced in the latest build or possibly tied to the AI upgrade—or am I just imagining things?Matching Template
Hi We're experiencing an issue with the Matching template in Rise. When using the interaction on mobile devices in portrait mode, the text overlaps after dragging and dropping the items. This makes the content difficult to read. A screenshot has been attached for reference. Thank you! Regards, ShraddhaDark mode for Storyline 360
Hi there Just wondering if there is a way now (or will be...) in SL360 settings to have the build tool adjustable to a dark grey background and tool bars like in the MS Office suite and Adobe CC programs. I jump from those with a nice dark grey to Storyline 360 and it's bright white window is a bit of a jolt on the eyes... Cheers SimonNeeding to delay Set Focus after a state change BUG?
I've been working on a small interaction where there are 2 choices. The choice they select fills the top box, and the choice they didn't select auto fills the bottom box. After doing so, they can swap the boxes around if they think they made the wrong decision. Each box is just a shape with 3 states. Normal, Choice 1, Choice 2. When a state changes I've set focus to the top box to be read out. The thing is the top box would always read the wrong state alt-text, while the bottom box would always read out the correct alt-text for its state For example TOP BOX is set to state Choice 2 (reads out Choice 1 alt text) BOTTOM BOX is set to state Choice 1 (reads out Choice 1 alt text) as it should And yes the Set Focus was always the last trigger in order of operations. So state would change and then set focus would occur. What I have learnt today is that the top box is not reading the wrong state, it's reading the previous state it was on. So to fix this I've had to create a hidden shape that when the boxes are swapped, an invisible object moves along a motion path for half a second and after the motion path has ended it sets focus to the top box and now reads out the correct state alt-text. I don't know if this is fixable, but I'd love to not have to create my own timer delay just to set focus on the correct state.Rise 360 Sorting Activity-issue
Hi, We’ve received quite a lot of feedback about the sorting activity in Rise 360. Many participants struggle to drop cards accurately because targets register based on the mouse pointer position rather than the card’s frame. As a result, a drop can fail if the pointer (or a finger on iPad) isn't inside the drop-target frame when released. Request: Please update the drop-target logic so hits are detected using the dragged card’s bounding box/frame instead of the pointer location. Why this matters: Reduces failed drops and user frustration Improves accessibility and touch interactions (iPad/phones) Aligns with common drag-and-drop UX patterns Also, providing the option to let the learner see the activity-progress would be a useful addition. Thanks for considering this improvement. Happy to provide examples or help test a fix.Player icon images
Does anyone have tips for taking screenshots of the player icons for a navigation slide? It seems like it should be simple, but since the player icons don't scale up with the window size they always come out blurry when blown up for easier viewing. You'd think it would be easy to find the Articulate player icons in the 360 icon library, but I always end up having to search for a while just to find ones that looks similar.Problem with Set Focus trigger
I have a Storyline slide that has 4 tabs on the base layer and 4 layers: each tab when selected displays a unique layer. Each tab selection also has a Set Focus trigger to a text box within that layer. The intent is for those using a screen reader, they select the tab, the text box is read. Issue: When selecting a tab, a yellow line flashes at the edges of the slide (for both screen reader and non-screen reader users). Occasionally, a rogue highlight appears in various locations (see screen capture). The flashing and the rogue highlight seem to disappear when the layer's text box is removed from the focus order: but then the screen reader never reads the text box, even though it receives the focus. Any ideas?Auto-Link Feature Generates Broken Links
Hi, I frequently discuss file types in my courses like "image.png" or "file.zip". Whenever I type a "." after any text, and it has text immediately after, it turns it into a broken hyperlink. Example: So far I've had to manually highlight the text and click Unlink to prevent those automatically broken links from forming. It's been pretty disruptive to my development. Is there a way to turn off that automatic link feature?Grammar Exercise Drop Down activity.
Hello All, I am starting new project where I need to create Grammar related Paragraph and I have to give Drop down in between for learners to answer to complete the paragraph. I have already created one Activity but it's TDS work to do as I have lot's of Paragraph Which need to be created. Anyone having new technic where I don't need resize dropdown box and shapes every time for each word's. Thanks In Advance Amit PI want to change my Storyline player for a more personalized one... How do I do it?
I was searching online and found this course. I noticed it had a different player, so I looked within Storyline's tools, but I couldn't find the option to configure it the same way. There were some similar options, but I didn't like the final result. Does anyone know how to get a player like this? (Is Java necessary, or is there a template you could provide?) The idea is that the user can return to any point on the timeline they want.
