Horizontal Scrolling Bar 2025 New Method
We have been waiting for 1,5 decade for a Horizontal scrolling bar. 😆 While we wait, here's a new method that doesn't involve grouping, rotating and all that janky jazz. All you gotta do, is execute this JavaScript on a trigger when timeline starts. const square1 = object('5cIKSnWwBvM'); update(() => { square1.x = getVar('Slider1'); }); The object can be a picture, shape or a Group of many things. After this, create a Slider. Set a positive start number and a negative End number - that makes sure the scrolling bar scroll the right way (create a text box with the Slider variable in it, to fine-tune the numbers you use, it will make sense what I mean when you open the example project). I have added some shapes to create the illusion of it being inside a scrolling panel. Check the attached Storyline file for the codes and a visual example. Up next for me is to style the scrolling bar and make a custom background for it, so it looks like a real panel. Enjoy.Introducing AI Chat + JavaScript Entrance Animations
Now you can chat with AI to generate simple JavaScript animations for your slide, making it easier to bring your ideas to life. Update to the latest version to give it a try and let us know what you think! To help you get started, we have a video walkthrough, a tutorial course, and documentation to learn more about how it works, see sample prompts, and animation examples that can all be found here. Why JavaScript? This update is our first step in helping authors experiment and push creative boundaries. Based on your feedback, we’re already working on support for built-in animations—and we’ll be sharing a preview soon! We’re also exploring more ways AI can handle tedious tasks for you, so let us know what you’d like AI Assistant to be able to do for you! Try It Out! Use AI Chat to make an object fly in from the right side of the screen after one second. Feel free to get creative—frisbee flying across a park? Plane flying across a cloudy sky? Sky's the limit (see what we did there?)! Share your example in the comments below!Peer Pod Coming Soon: “New to Instructional Design” — Who’s Joining Us?

I am working on an older SL 360 course. I noticed two things: Font in Scormcloud was white on white background. I think I figured this out. The font must be black on black (or white) in SL and then it appears correctly in Scormcloud. Font had gone from 12 pt to 9 point on some slides. I did not change this. Seems very strange. I am using Articulate 12 point font and it is normal text in the transcript and not transcript text (older course).Dragging seekbar resets advanced javascript movement
Hello, In one of my projects, I created a moving bar for points calculation, using the native Advanced Javascript object.x += 3 (example) for every point actualization. The problem is, when you use the seekbar to move on the timeline (I use it for the purpose of optional voiceover), the position gets resetted. Which, as you can guess, is highly unwanted. Is there a way to make it "stick" to the place even while moving the seekbar? I get that it will move if there was addtotimline javascript, but that's simple "on click", which shouldn't be connect to the timeline, right? I even created a very simple mockup, just click the arrow, the rectangle will move, and then drag a seekbar. The rectangle position will reset. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/2e9357c0-a730-4feb-8f62-cdcd113cf369/review Quietly: Please help, I thought I'm finally finished with this one ;)New button when publishing Rise to LMS
I have just spotted a new button when publishing Rise to LMS (it could have been there a while, but I have only just seen it). Only Load in LMS Please can anybody advise me when this button first appeared, and if they have had any issues with it? It defaults to "On" and I am concerned we may have published content with it checked without realising - hopefully, it just means people can only access content from our LMS but just concerned in case it effects links from other web pages to our content. ThanksComplex formulas using variables?
I am working on some interactive scenarios for which a score would be calculated at the end based on many variables, including built-in ones like how many interactions were had. For example, I want to calculate something like ((A+B)/C+(D-E)*2)/100 (where each letter here obviously represents a variable or built-in value) and display the resulting value in a text box as a "final score." How would I accomplish that?Question about external links used in Road Safety modules
Hi everyone 👋 I’m currently working on a Road Safety e-learning module in Storyline, and I noticed that some official French resources use external modules such as: https://modules.securite-routiere.gouv.fr/module_distracteur.html https://modules.securite-routiere.gouv.fr/module_alcool.html I have 5 similar links that I would like to integrate, but these resources exist only in French, and I’d like to understand how these modules were originally built (structure, hosting, embed logic, etc.) to see if an equivalent EN version exists — or if there’s a way to rebuild something similar. More specifically, I’m trying to understand: How the interactive visuals were created (images, animations, UI elements). How videos were integrated (hosting, player type, compression, streaming method). How the module itself was packaged (Storyline? custom HTML/JS? another authoring tool?). What embedding method is used to allow these modules to open cleanly within another course. Has anyone here already worked with these Road Safety modules or knows how these external links were generated and deployed? Any insight or technical explanation would be super helpful 🙏 Thanks in advance!SCORM Resizing Issue on Android WebView
Hi All, I’m facing an issue with SCORM player sizing in the Totara Mobile App. I’ve attached two screenshots of the same SCORM video — one from an iOS device and one from an Android device. Both devices have nearly identical screen sizes. Issue: On iOS, the SCORM preview/player appears correctly sized and fully visible. On Android, the SCORM player appears very small, even though the device display size is the same. When I open the same SCORM package directly in Chrome on Android, the player appears correctly (same as iOS). → This suggests the issue may be related to how the Totara Android app’s WebView loads or scales the content. What I need help with: Is there any specific setting in Articulate Storyline that affects mobile SCORM scaling for Android vs iOS? Are there any Totara configuration settings that control SCORM iframe / WebView scaling in the mobile app? Or is this something that needs to be adjusted by the mobile app developers (e.g., CSS, viewport, WebView settings)? Any guidance on settings or fixes would be really appreciated. Thank you!Quiz review locks
Who else has experienced this? It's something new to me, and I have been using SL for 15 years. I uploaded an eLearning course to Articulate 360. At the end, there is a 10 question quiz. After passing the quiz with 80% correct or better, the user is offered the usual button to review the quiz and get the correct response to any question they answered wrong. After pressing the review button, sometimes one of the questions will display like the image below (I've removed the content). What's important to notice is the slide has locked up, the focus on the center question pane, and the previous and next buttons are dark. In this state, tab will select only browser controls, but selects nothing in the course player, including next and previous buttons, and escape does nothing. The entire activity is completely locked up, and the only thing available to do is close the browser without finishing, which is not what I want to force the user to do. What makes it more perplexing is this doesn't happen every time I use the quiz review function, and the slide that locks seems to be random. Sometimes it's the first, sometimes the second, third, sixth, seventh. I've tried to discover the cause or a pattern by trying different things, but still no clue what is happening. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
