Is there a way to have an rotate-to-landscape prompt display on Mobile phone?
Let me clearly explain what I am trying to do. I have created short instructions in Articulate Storyline in landscape mode and exported them as a video file. Then I go into Review 360 and upload the mp4 video. I then play the Review 360 video file, right-click it so that only the .mp4 displays, and create a QR Code. The QR Code plays the video alone without the Review 360 wrapper, and that's exactly what I want to happen! :) My question is: what is the best way to add a rotate-to-landscape prompt that shows up on the mobile phone before the video plays automatically?Captions removed when audio edited?
Hello, I noticed today that when I edit audio to remove the dead air at the beginning and end of the audio, it also strips the caption files. I have used the process quite regularly, so am surprised to see that this is now happening. Any advice on what I can do? I can't edit the audio in an external program as it will require me to also edit the caption files and that is a lot of tedious work.The player's replay button is not replaying the audio when revisiting.
I have a menu that the learner returns to after each lesson. When they revisit the slide, the audio does not replay if they select the replay button on the player. The animations move when revisiting and when clicking the replay button but the audio does not. There are no layers just buttons that send the learner to a new slide when selected. If I drag the seek bar, the audio will replay. I do not have any audio triggers that could be affecting the replay button. I only want the audio to play if they select replay. I have the slide properties set at resumed saved state, so the audio does not replay each time they visit the slide. The client does not want a button added to start and stop the audio.[REDUNDANT] Storyline custom focus control
========================================================================= Update 18 March 2025 This functionality is now redundant. Please use the native focus trigger in Storyline 360 64 bit March 18, 2025 (Build 3.98.34222.0) ========================================================================= There have many been times, when using Storyline to develop content, it has not been possible to get the kind of screen reader focus control that I have needed. Using layers for this can only get you so far. I developed a JavaScript function that allows you to send the screen reader focus to the text field that you want, via any trigger. Adding the following JavaScript to your projects Slide Master will make it available throughout your module: // Check if function has been defined already if (typeof window.setFocus === "undefined") { // Get reference to the Storyline Player var $player = GetPlayer(); // Set the amount of time to delay before attempting to send focus to the target element (milliseconds) 1000 = 1 second. var $interval = 200; // window.setFocus = function ($target, $announce = false) { // Get the target element, based on the passed argument setTimeout(function () { var $div = document.querySelector('[data-acc-text^="' + $target + '"]'); var $id = "acc-" + $div.dataset.modelId $div = document.getElementById($id); if($announce) { $div.setAttribute("aria-atomic", "true"); $div.setAttribute("aria-live", "assertive"); } // Send focus to target, after defined $interval $div.focus(); }, $interval); } } Once the function is defined in your Slide Master, you can then call the function on the page using a JavaScript function, which can be triggered by any Storyline trigger such as timeline start, timeline end, button click etc. // The second argument will determine if the content should // be announced to assistive technology using aria-live=assertive // This will announce the text contents to the screen reader window.setFocus("Customer in the queue", true); // This will just send focus to the element. window.setFocus("Customer in the queue", false); The first argument, which is passed in the "" quotes, is the text contents of the text field you are targeting. You do not have to include all the text, just enough to ensure it is unique. For example, if you have two text fields: "Customer in the queue talking on their phone." "Customer in the shop staring into space." Passing the words "Customer in the" would not be specific enough, as there would be two text fields found. However, passing "Customer in the queue" would send the focus to the text field that contains the text "Customer in the queue talking on their phone." The second argument (true or false) determines if the target elements contents should be announced to the screen reader when it receives focus.Sound Issues Upon Publishing
Hello, I have run into an issue with voiceovers not playing after a course has been published to our LMS. It works fine in the file and in review, but upon publishing it, we have gotten feedback that some slides have no sound. Weirder still is that it is inconsistent on which slides play with sound and which don't. Some users have no problems, while others have issues with multiple slides. (And because there is no sound playing, it also doesn't show CC on the slide.) I have tried: Having the sound linked to a trigger (play when slide begins) Delaying the sound by two seconds on each slide to give it a chance to load correctly Updating and republishing the course I am unclear as to whether this is an issue with Storyline, people's internet connections, or if it is our LMS causing problems, but any suggestions are appreciated!Is there a way to turn off Accessibility Checker?
Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the Accessibility Checker in Storyline? Or at least turn off the warning when publishing? I'm just starting to use Storyline again after a few years and don't remember this happening before. The problem is that the warning on Publish screen pushes the Publish button down and it is no longer visible. I have to close the message every single time I publish the project in order to see the Publish button. I have tried multiple things to change the size of the Publish window, but nothing has worked. This is getting annoying because I am publishing the project a lot due to testing several web objects in the project. Unfortunately, those cannot be seen in Preview mode. Thanks, Melanie
