1210 TopicsOpening an attachment in a New Tab
In RISE, I updated a course and replaced a few pdf files that were added as attachment blocks. In the RISE preview, the files open in a new tab as expected and as they have in the past. After uploading the updated version in the LMS, the 1 attachment block that wasn't replaced with a new file continues to open in a new tab. However, the other attachment blocks with the replaced/updated files now only download and do not open in a new tab. Is this able to be fixed or moving forward will the files only be downloaded and not opened in a new tab?Solved197Views0likes7CommentsStoryline triggers based on attempt count not working as expected
My triggers are not behaving as I'd expect. Any input is appreciated (see screenshot). I have tried multiple permutations of these triggers including increasing and decreasing the numbers, trying greater than/less than and greater than or equal to/less than or equal to options. I have also tried building a custom true/false variable that switches from the default of "false" to "true" when the timeline starts on the "Try Again" layer and then setting the trigger to show the "Try Again - One More Try" layer based on that variable being true rather than the built in AttemptCount variable. I have additionally opened a new project and imported the slides in case something was corrupted. None of these fixed the behavior. Expected behavior User gets the wrong answer once = "Try Again" layer displays User gets the wrong answer a second time = "Try Again - One More Try" layer displays User gets the wrong answer a third time = slide advances to next slide Observed behavior User gets the wrong answer once = "Try Again" layer displays User gets the wrong answer a second time = "Try Again" layer displays User gets the wrong answer a third time = "Try Again - One More Try" layer flashes on screen and then slide advances to next slideSolved23Views0likes3CommentsGenerating a Passed result in CMI5 Storyline packages
I have recently made a switch to publishing with CMI5 for the deeper analytics that it provides. The one area I have become unstuck is the generating a passed result to send back to the LMS. Within Storyline, unlike SCORM there is no option to modify the status. I carried out some research and discovered the 'MoveOn=' command in the CMI5.xml file can be modified to =Passed instead of the default =Completed, producing the needed output. I use quite a few Storyline built assessments, desiring question level data that CMI5 provides, but this will mean that after every publish (and in 19 language versions!) we will need to edit each every xml. Can you confirm that this is the only way this can be produced, or am I missing something in the tool?Drag and drop activity
Hello, I'm building a drag and drop activity in Storyline 360. I have 3 drop targets and 9 drag items. My drop target options are set to tile. I want to limit the number of drag items to each drop target to 3 items. In a nutshell, once there are 3 drop items in one drop target, I don't want to allow any more items to be dropped into it. Is there any way to do this? Many thanks in advance10Views0likes0CommentsText to Speech Pronunciation and CC
Hi, I am using text to speech with CC generated. My issue is the phrase 'wear and tear' as in MSI injuries. The pronunciation is like 'tear' as in crying. The CC is correct. How do I get the pronunciation correct and the CC are correct? Am I making sense? Is this possible?Solved22Views0likes2CommentsScreen grabs looking a bit fuzzy
Hi, I am building a simulation for a web tool. I am using screen grabs and layers. The images are captured by snipping tool. in the photo viewer they look fine but when i import to storyline they look fuzzy and a bit out of focus . Any ideas how to improve? I have tried varying slide sizes and image sizes in photoshop. very frustrating. should i use better grabbing tools?48Views0likes8Commentsplayer's menù
I created a course in two different languages (Italian and English), separating them into two different scenes that users select in the first slide. Is it possible, possibly using triggers, to display only the paragraphs related to the selected course scene in the player menu? many thanks47Views0likes2CommentsMute controls across all browser windows launched by the course
Is this even technically possible? Problem: I want to be able to allow learners to have a single audio mute control across a whole course but not impact the PCs own mute settings - when introducing Text-to-Speech to SL360 slides and also Captivate Web Objects launched from button triggers. Any thoughts from the community seeing as this is not wholly Articulate content? Thanks. Currently, it will require: a mute button for the SL360 player, for the slides of the course a mute to be used each time the learner opens the simulation in a new browser window The simple answer, you might say, is to mute the PC and not rely on the mute buttons. However, in the environment where I work, it is important not to mute the PC, as the user might forget to unmute it. Of course, if this isn't technically possible, then that is what they will have to do if they don't want to hear the audio. Why are we not using SL360 for capturing? I have further investigated how capturing works with the extra effort spent. I'm not happy with the downsides compared to using Captivate, as this is for simulation work. No single player bar for the whole simulation - individual bar plays for each captured image Extra triggers required for right-clicks, double-clicks - within the Try again layer Action Fine Tuning more fiddly to edit - even though both products place the click event after the click instead of before it actually happens The only way simulations would work natively (in-slide player) as opposed to SL360 captures also being launched as web objects, is to use the Modern Player as it would need to have controls for fullscreen, but Articulate still refuse to allow customers to customise the player. They force adherence to strict contrast rules, impacting the ability to use Brand colours which still have strong contrast but not enough to meet the rules.Solved27Views0likes3CommentsAdjusting object or end of the slide to a cue point
Hello, I’m having an issue when working with videos in Storyline: When I insert a video, the object duration automatically extends to the end of the slide, even if the video itself is shorter. For example, if my video is 2 minutes long, Storyline often sets the object duration to 4 minutes. To fix this, I have to manually drag the object’s end to match the video length, which is extremely time-consuming when working with multiple videos. It would be extremely useful to have a feature allowing us to: Snap an object’s end directly to a cue point, or Crop/adjust an object’s duration more easily, without dragging manually. This is a very common feature in most video editing tools (e.g. Canva, Premiere, etc.), and it would save a huge amount of production time in Storyline projects. Could you confirm if there’s already a workaround for this, or if such a feature is planned for future releases? Honestly, it’s really frustrating that such a basic feature is still missing. It feels like a huge gap compared to other tools, and it slows down production massively. I strongly believe this should be prioritized and implemented as soon as possible.
