Slide-level scrub control after first view (without affecting checkpoints?)
Hi everyone, I’m running into a navigation issue in Storyline and wanted to see if there’s a workaround I might be missing. Right now, I have the player set so learners can’t scrub until a slide has been fully viewed. This works fine for standard content slides, but I’m running into issues with checkpoint slides that are set to “Reset to initial state” so learners can retry them. Because those checkpoint slides never register as “completed,” if a learner clicks Previous to revisit them, the Previous/Continue buttons (and scrubbing) stop responding, even though they appear active. If I allow scrubbing at the project level, everything works fine, but I’m trying to avoid enabling scrubbing globally. My question: Is there a way to control scrubbing at the slide level (for example, allow scrubbing after the first view on video/content slides only), without impacting checkpoint slides? Or alternatively, is there a best practice for handling navigation when using “Reset to initial state” on checkpoint slides in combination with restricted scrubbing? Would love to know how others are handling this scenario. Thanks in advance!Is there a way to set a specific slide to be a screensaver?
Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has built a screensaver before. My project is for an in-person training, supported with videos/slides. I'd like a specific slide to serve as the screensaver any time the mouse doesn't move for a set time - maybe 2 minutes. Any ideas or examples would be super helpful!JAWS and Web Objects Shifting left
I read there was a fix for something similar back in January so I am not sure if this falls within. What I am experiencing is a shift left on a slide with a web object while using JAWS and navigating down through the content using the keyboard arrow buttons. On the slide, within the web object window, I am pulling an html page that has some example scenarios coded into an accordion using pure html and JavaScript. Nothing fancy. While the section being read by JAWS is with in the visible area things are fine, its when I arrow down to the content below the visible area that the shift happens. It only happens with JAWS on, otherwise it works perfectly. Anyone have any ideas or experiencing something similar? I would love to hear your workarounds. I provided some screen caps. Thanks MikeAI Voice Changed Accent
Hello, I have been using the same Australian voice in my Rise 360 content since earlier this year. Australian Steve was perfect in every way. But now when I attempt to generate speech from a block of text, Steve somehow comes out sounding like American Steve. The settings are 100% identical in each case, yet one generates as American and one as Australian which is the one I want to use. Has anyone experienced anything similar and know how to fix it so my Aussie Steve can talk through the slides to my audience? I have attached some screenshots and a short screen recording showing the issue I am having and the changes of accents. Any advice appreciated :) Thank you!Fill in the blank and question slide master
I have an exam where I imported fill in the blank questions from the excel template. If I go into Slide Master view and try to change the question layout, it moves my input text box to a random location that is outside of the question response area in my layout. Is there any way to standardize where the input text box goes so I don't have to manually adjust for each question?Can Articulate be used to create simple game-like interactions?
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to Articulate and have mostly been using it for basic e-learning content. Recently, I’ve been trying to experiment a bit by adding some simple game-like elements (like quizzes with scoring, levels, or interactive choices) to make things more engaging. I’m not sure if I’m pushing the tool beyond what it’s really meant for, or if there are built-in features I’m missing. Has anyone here tried creating game-style interactions in Articulate? Would love to hear what’s possible and any tips to get started.Screenreaders reading lots of "blank" lines?
Hi everyone, I am building a course in storyline 360. Screenreaders are reading alot of 'blank' lines when tested with NVDA and JAWS. It happens in two main areas of the course: text blocks and a scrolling text screen. I think I know what is causing this but I am seeking validation. I think that it has to do with the size around the text box and setting that to zero? Making sure the paragraph spacing is zero after. The scrolling text it seems like it is the same but making sure that there are no carriage returns below the text. Am I on base or off base with this?! Thank you!Audio-Button functions and states within selfbuild WBT menue and options
Hi everyone, currently I am working on a selfbuild WBT menue with own options on buttons (like refresh, fullscreen, turn on/off subtitles, etc.). This also includes a button for un/muting audio. (Screenshot "Menue 1") Until now I tried a lot; made my way through own ideas, tutorials in various forum posts or videos, asked colleagues, tried prompts in Copilot and so on. The thing is, I always get stuck evertime at the same point. Therefore, I am reaching out to you in hope that you can help me out. My setup is the following - first slide in master slide view: I have a button that consists of these elements grouped together: a circular “Ellipse” element, and above it a vector graphic of an ear. This vector graphic has the normal state (regular ear Icon) and the state selected (ear Icon crossed out). (Screenshot Icon states) The Ellipse has also a second state for hovering with a slight shadow around the circle. Then, to make things even a little bit more complicated, when the user can either click this button directly from the side menue. But if they navigate to the "Menue"-Button, the side menue will expand, laid out on another layer (Screenshot "Menue 2 Expanded"). Next to each button is a section reading the function of the button and thanks to a hotspot over each section, it is also clickable. So the button must be functioning and changing it's states in both ways: regular menue and expanded menue - and from the expanded menue as well. Goal; what should be the effects by clicking the Audio button? As soon as the user clicks on the button group, the audio on the slide should be muted and the state of the vector graphic should change: an ear crossed out. When the user clicks this button again, the audio should be unmuted, and the vector graphic should return to its original state (the normal ear). So, the audio should not be stopped and resumed: The audio should be "playing" without sound in the background with continuous timeline. A slide can also contain multiple consecutive audio files that play one after the other. The audio button un/mutes all of them when the user clicks the button. And when the user moves to the next slide, the WBT should remember that the selected function (audio is turned off/on) and show the ear icon accordingly (as crossed out/normal). Point 3 and 4 shall also apply for the audios of videos: So the video-part is still going on while the audio can be muted/unmuted. --> To make it trickier: This should also work for the case when there are audios and videos on one slide. Has anyone an idea how to solve this riddle and incorporate all the required speficiations? I would be beyond grateful. I uploaded a scrubbed, condensed version of my SL project file. So that you can have a look on the setup and previous as well as actual triggers, Javascripts etc. Thanks in advance for your support Best regardsObjects on a Storyline 360 question slide shift in Preview and Published view
I've been having an issue with the modules I've been creating for the last few months. When designing and editing a graded question slide, the objects set up as answers shift on their own when viewing the Preview or the published Review 360 version of the course. I have attached pictures showing the view in edit mode on the slide and the Preview output with the objects shifted. This happened on every graded-question slide and across several recent Storyline files. I have gone through each object's states, ensured every state was set correctly and maintained the same positioning, double-checked the positioning coordinates of each object, and ensured that each object had the same Text Box formatting through the Format Shape settings. I have also run a repair on Storyline by uninstalling, restarting the PC, updating the Articulate 360 app, reinstalling Storyline 360, and restarting the PC again. No luck. I am currently running v3.133.36519.0. Any help would be appreciated. I really need this to work so I can meet my delivery date.Multiple text entry downloads in Rise
Hi all Text entry downloads! First up. Thanks to this community for helping me with downloading multiple text entries in Storyline into one Word document. Works a treat. Now I'm wanting to replicate this in Rise. Whether it's using a Storyline block which has a text entry function or a coded block. I've been able to create one text entry download from a Storyline block. See it here in my test: https://share.articulate.com/TJAsalIkJVh9VhS-oqxvO But I've not been able to collect text entries from multiple blocks. AI tells me that it's not possible in Rise due to "containerisation". If you've been able to do this, I'd love to hear from you. Or if you have any ideas how I could go about it, that would be fabulous as well. Ngā mihi nui (te Reo Māori for thanks very much) Helen
