1402 Topicsformatting tool as default a pain
I haven't built much in SL for a while - my client's have all wanted Rise. So I've just learned that that annoying formatting thing with the persistent onscreen icon is now the default. I never used it - never liked it - and I don't like having my layouts busy with them. I'm hoping there's a way to turn it off, like there was to turn it on.30Views0likes2CommentsStoryline Block Issue
Hey folks, I'm having an issue with some step-by-step simulations I created in Storyline after inserting them in a Rise course as a Storyline block. The "Try" portion of the step-by-step simulations are what have been giving me the issues. When testing the Storyline block within my Rise course, I'm finding that the hint captions are changing locations, and specific slides are missing information that is present when I preview the simulations in Storyline. The issues seem to be connected to when a drop-down menu was selected in the simulation recording. The problems don't occur in the "View" or "Test" step-by-step slides. Has anyone had this issue and found a way to troubleshoot it? Let me know if additional information would be helpful. Thank you for your time!Best Way to Create Multi-Part Spelling Quiz in Storyline 360 with Custom Scoring
Hi Heroes, I'm working on a spelling quiz in Storyline 360 and need some advice on the best approach. Here's what I'm trying to build: Quiz: Scoring Requirement: Learners need to get 3 out of 4 OR 4 out of 4 correct to receive 1 point total If they get 2 or fewer correct, they receive 0 points This counts as a single question worth 1 point in the overall course My Challenge: I've considered using drop-down menus for each option, but I'm struggling with: Whether drop-downs are the most efficient approach How to set up the scoring logic to award 1 point only if they achieve 3-4 correct How to track all 4 sub-questions and evaluate them together Questions: What's the best question type or combination to use for this scenario? How do I set up variables to track the 3/4 passing threshold? Is there a simpler built-in solution? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!75Views0likes2CommentsMulti-Scene course not opening correctly
I have to combine two or three separate courses in a single activity (the instance below is one of four multi-language packages) so that learners can select their preferred language in the first scene, then they will jump the corresponding scene (course) for that language which will allow them to complete the activity. I have published the activity and am testing it in our LMS, but when I open it, it immediately opens to the second scene, rather than the first, so the user does not have a chance to select their language. This seems like it should be working; am I missing something besides defining the order of the scenes?24Views0likes4CommentsReplay/Resume Saved State/Button States
First of all, please accept my apology if I neglected to find this already answered- I took time search but did not find what I needed. I have a selection slide with multiple buttons that each open an information page. When users return, the slide is set to Resume saved state so the visited button states are retained. There are several, and this is a great feature to help users keep track of what they have watched so far. I have built successful triggers to keep the narration from playing each time they go back to this home slide. The issue: If a user wants to hear it the base slide narration again, the play button doesn’t restart the audio unless they manually drag the seekbar back. I can’t set the slide to Reset to initial state because that breaks the button state tracking. What’s the best way to let users manually replay the narration without resetting the slide? I have attached a file if reference is needed. I would so appreciate any insight on this!22Views0likes4CommentsNavigate a grid by keyboard
I am working to make a game accessible. I am using battleship game as the basis. I can navigate by tab key but only from left to right and down. When I go away from the slide and come back, it always starts at the beginning. I think the NVDA speech reader will allow the person to navigate with arrow keys. What can be done for the sighted person who lacks mobility so they have to use a keyboard? I cannot find any trigger commands to allow the player to move in any direction with a keyboard only. Any ideas?49Views0likes7CommentsJavaScript API problem with position of elements in Safari
Hey there, I am working with the recently launched advanced JavaScript API in Articulate Storyline. I used it, to change the opacity of several images which display buttons on my slide. The images work like regular buttons, which change their states when clicked (the color of the button gets green or grey). In JavaScript I used eventListeners on the images, and changed their opacity like this: btn.opacity = 100; It worked fine and I tested it as review and scorm in Firefox and Edge. Now I tried to test it in Safari on a Mac and suddenly the position of the images changes when I scroll through the scrollable container, which contains all the images. The strange thing is: The images are still on the correct position, but when I want to click them, the clickable area is not positioned on the images anymore. I looked up the position of the images in the DOM-Tree, and it is in fact not on the same position where I see the images. Any ideas where that comes from or how to solve it?

Hi all, This is a repeat of a long-asked question, but I'm not seeing that there's ever been a definitive solution. Is there now a way to successfully view a Storyline block on a cell/mobile phone when used within Rise? I've scoured the previous solutions, and they don't seem to work. I've added a continue block above the SL block, and I've turned off the SL player before publishing to Review – nothing happens to rectify the issue. Is there a solution?19Views0likes0Comments
