Sliders and Dials in Storyline 360: Hidden Power Tools?
Sliders and dials might not be the first thing new Storyline authors reach for, but they can unlock engaging interactions without needing custom JavaScript code. These objects can do far more than just control numeric values. From data visualizations to interactive learning games to dynamic simulations, they offer a surprising amount of flexibility for driving custom interactivity. And when you realize that any object can be converted into a dial, and that you can offset the rotation point, things start to get really interesting. I put together a quick example depicted in the attached gif. The first slide uses a slider to adjust the mood of the character; each mood is defined as a separate state. On the second slide I created a farm animal interaction allowing the learner to rotate a custom dial converted from an arrow shape to hear the sound each animal makes. Here’s what I want to know: 👉 What’s your favorite way to use sliders or dials in Storyline? 👉 Have you ever built something unexpected with them? 👉 Got a clever use case or a design trick others might not know? I’m collecting creative examples and insights that show just how versatile these tools can be, especially for L&D pros who might be new to Storyline or still getting comfortable with its interactivity features. Drop a comment, share a link, or tag someone whose work with sliders and dials has inspired you. Let’s bring some of these hidden gems into the spotlight.508 remediation of Storyline course
Hello, I am working on a 508 remediation project, and this is my first time doing this in Storyline. The original project was created as a single scene, 652 total slides. When I ran the accessibility checker the first time, results showed the project had over 10,000 errors. I have slowly been chipping away at this, but I do not know if I am doing the work in the most efficient way possible. I've split the course into scenes based on the content, and I'm working my way through each slide individually. Is there a way to make universal changes to parts of a course? For example, all of the X icons to close a window in a layer need alt tags and enlarged to be 24x24. Is there a way I can put this in so that anytime that icon appears, the necessary changes are made? Or do I have to go through each slide? The course has other issues (no unique slide titles, fonts too small, color contrast not compliant, even the initial font used is not accessible), but if I could solve even this one issue, it would save me some time. Thanks for your help!Can't delete 3 Slide Master
Hi together, I can not delete 3 sets of master slides. I have 29 slides, spread over 4 scenes. But the slide master states, that 33 master slides are used in the whole project. Set 1 shows "used on 29 slides" Set 2 shows "used on 1 slide" Set 3 shows "used on 1 slide" Set 4 shows "used on 1 slide" In total: 33 slides used on Slide Masters. I tried to import all into a fresh new file. But that doesnt help. Anybody has an idea? ThorstenStoryline Keyboard Navigation not working with Buttons
Hello everyone! Can anyone help resolve this accessibility issue? I am creating a scenario interaction where the user selects 1 of 3 answer choices. The selection and submit interaction work with keyboard and mouse, but when I try to navigate on the keyboard using the "Tab" key, I can only select the first (not second or third) button. I duplicated the second and third from the first button, so I don't know what happened/why it is not selectable with the keyboard? The buttons are not stacked on top of each other They have the "visible by accessibility tools" enabled Triggers include: emphasize, hover for audio, hover for character state changes, and submit interaction but those are the same for the functional first button Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? I would prefer not to have to recreate the buttons and relink all the triggers/recreate the feedback layers. Storyline file is attached.Drag and Drop - Putting steps in order
Hi, I am trying to create a drag and drop where the learner needs to put the steps in order. The steps are randomly placed into an order and the learner will read the statements and drag them into the correct order, however when an object (Text box) is dropped into a drop zone I would like the object that is currently sat in that drop zone to move to an available drop zone so that the text is legible and the learner can easily move the object (Text box) where they think it belongs. Is this possible?Storyline Preview and Modern Player not previewing
I have an issue where my project storyline x64 not previewing content through Preview and also not through Modern Player. Through Preview I get a black screen. On Modern Player I get the 3 dots but nothing more. Preview was working in the morning but then it stopped working after lunch. I have 2 other colleagues that have the same issue. I am on the latest version 3.102.35072.0 Has anyone else have this issue?Layer is hiding objects on base layer - even when I don't want to
Hello! I started my first new project after updating Storyline and I noticed that there is something wrong with slide layers and slide layer properties. I want layer(s) not to hide objects on base layer. So I went to Slide Layer Properties and un-selected "Hide objects on base layer" from Visibility settings, see the screenshot below. Text continues after picture... After doing this, I went to Preview this slide and for some reason this layer is still hiding the base layer. What should I do? I haven't had this problem before when changing Slide Layer Visibility settings. Thanks for your help! :)storyline slide view: slides move in slide panel - please freeze slides
When working in Storyline, I constantly move from slide to slide as I am creating. The panel on the left of my screen shows a thumbnail of about 6 slides. When editing I need to move from slide to slide by clicking on the thumbnail, but Storyline keeps moving the position of the thumbnails and I inadvertently click on the incorrect slide. Is there a way to stop Storyline from moving these thumbnails up and down? They should stay where I put them.
