I have a slide with audio that should begin playing when the timeline on the slide begins. When I preview the slide, it works as it should. When I publish the course, the audio is delayed by 10-15 seconds. I tried creating a new slide, duplicating the original one, re-recording the audio. Same issue. It works in preview mode, but not publish mode. The course has been uploaded to our LMS and the delayed audio issue still exists. Help!

Hi folks, I have an accessibility quandary that I'd like some opinions on. Imagine, if you will, the following scenario: A low-vision learner uses Storyline's Zoom to Fit function and can only use a keyboard. When the screen is zoomed in to 200%, the content zooms as expected, and scroll bars appear to allow the learner to move around the enlarged screen. However, when they use Page Up, Page Down and Left/Right arrow keys to control the scrollbars, sometimes the screen scrolls and sometimes it doesn't. The only circumstances in which the learner can use these keyboard shortcuts is to either: Tab through the content and player buttons to return the focus to the screen content (selecting the Back to Top button doesn't help in this situation). Or click on the screen with the mouse button to get it to focus correctly. I've included a screenshot that shows the module I'm testing with this scenario. It is being tested in Google Chrome with a 200% zoom. The focus is on the content, but the keyboard buttons will not allow me to scroll unless I do one of the actions I mentioned below Has anyone else encountered this? Do you have any advice?SolvedResults Slide Percent no Decimal Points
All, I have a results slide which pulls in data from several other results slide. The problem is that the results percentage is showing the percentage with decimal points. From a cosmetic point of view I would like the percentage rate to be rounded up or down to the nearest full number. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance RichSolved932Views0likes69CommentsA Solution to rounding in Storyline – without using Javascript
Normal 0 false false false oNotPromoteQF /> EN-US X-NONE X-NONE I found a way to round numbers in Storyline without using Javascript. The challenge was to show whole percentage numbers from calculated decimal numbers (i.e. 33% for 1/3 and 67% for 2/3). Searching through the forums, all I could find was Javascript solutions and suggestions to submit a feature request. Not happy with either of these answers, I continued to play around. I found that Storyline only holds 7 digits past the decimal place, and the 7 th digit is rounded. So to get a rounded decimal (percentage) as a whole number, divide by 100,000, and then multiply by 10,000,000. For example: 2 / 3 = 0.6666667 (rounded at the 7 th position by Storyline) 0.6666667 / 100,000 = .000006666667 (which is rounded to 0.0000067) 0.0000067 * 10,000,000 = 67 Now we have our rounded 67% from 2/3 You should be able to apply this to any number you want to round. Divide and then multiply by a multiple of 10 that is large enough to push the number you want to round to the 7th position past the decimal (i.e. 13,567 / 10,000,000,000 * 10,000,000,000 = 14,000)Solved1.6KViews0likes100CommentsWeb Object - change state of NEXT button upon click
Hi, Everyone. I am creating a slide with a web object (link to a survey). Upon entry of the slide I would like the Next button to be disabled until the user clicks on the web object. I can't figure out how to change the state of the next button back to Normal when the user clicks on the web object. Any ideas/solutions? ThanksDear Father Christmas ...
Dear Father Christmas, I know my letter is rather late but I hope your clever elves may be able to bring me a few small gifts which I have been asking about since oooh, around 2012 when I first unwrapped my new Storyline toy. I hope you won't think I am being greedy but who knows, there may be other children around the world who would really, really like some of these little presents to make their own Storyline toy a bit more fun and easy to use. Here goes, Santa ... Let me jump to a point somewhere on the toy's timeline. One of your elves must know how to do this? I mean, they know where 'Cue Points' are, don't they? Give me a variable with the frame number that a playing video has reached so I can really control how video is used. While the elf has the SL3 source code open, could he or she please send me variables I can use that contain today's date, the time, plus start and end times for an action. Also, when I am playing at building quizzes I'd like to be able to set your 'Results.ScorePoints' to equal my OWN score variable, so I can send back my learners' performance data from my OWN assessment exercises. Are you perhaps worried we will break it? Oh yes, would you mind letting me change the text size of the video closed-captions? And while he/she is in that particular source cupboard, perhaps let me place captions where I want them to appear, not you. And that ugly black box the captions appear in? Perhaps that could be optional too - just wrap it with the same present - no need for a separate gift. Last Christmas you gave me animations which orientated objects to their path as they turned. Wonderful! But when I unwrapped it, I was a bit disappointed to find that you had only given your development elves protractors marked every 30 degrees. Please let them know that other increments are available, such as 5 or 10 degrees. This would stop the aircraft I animate from jerking their way round their taxiing paths like an animated dog. While I am on 'things moving around' on screen, a really special gift would be to let me directly place an object at a specific X and Y location. You know, an initial location when the object appears and then a Trigger to send it somewhere else. Just like I used to do with my Authorware toy in 1989 ... And also - I know I am being a little cheeky here - please could I have a variable I can read which gives me the X and Y location of an object on screen? YOU know where they are sitting - just let US know too. You know those paths you let me create, the ones where an object moves along them? Very nice. But what would really make my Christmas this year is if an elf could let ME move an object along a path! I know, I know - this is outrageous but I would also like to be able to MOVE that object to a specific location along that path! I don't use the built-in SL3 menus but I might if I could change their text size and style. I recently had to ship an eLearning course (to a client who had demanded your standard menu panel) with a box of 7 inch magnifying glasses to conform to his local accessibility laws. Just one last request please Santa, if it's OK. I'm sure there must be an elf with a few minutes spare who could send me some extra functions and again, just send them in the same gift box: A little device to convert a quiz score such as 86.429 to 86? A bit like the INT function I used to use 50 years ago. A few bells to go on my Trigger toy, like the ability to subtract a variable from a number? I was going to ask you for a 'scripting language' but Mummy says that's far too ambitious and that your elves and profit centre managers would have a fit. So I won't. I hope this isn't too much to ask for Santa. My Storyline 3 toy does give a me a lot of pleasure. It's dead easy to use, very flexible and there are thousands of other children who share their gift requests on this Forum which is very useful. Looking forward to opening my prezzies! Happy Christmas.Solved195Views0likes11CommentsQuiz - Score Percent
Hi All, If on your results slide you reference Score Percent can you round it to the nearest percentage so rather than having 80.66% you would see 81% ? I can't seem to see how to do it and, for various reasons, javascript will not be possible. Thank you for any/all help/suggestions HarriSolved246Views0likes9CommentsVerifying - it is not possible to access the point value of a question or the total points possible of a quiz as a variable
I'm pretty sure this is still true, but it kind of blows my mind as to why this can't be surfaced as a built-in variable for a quiz with a results slide. on every question i give a point value for a question, and then the total points possible is based on the points of those questions. i have two use cases where this would be an expected value 1) student needs to score let's say 70% on a quiz and not all question values have the same point value - the only way for me to tell them what each question is worth is to manually (uGH) type it on each question - which means i can't use a simple master slide for questions and import loads of questions and go. i have to manually edit every slide AND make sure that if points change, the slide changes. 2) Similarly in an assessment where the student gets questions from a variety of modules, we want to tell them how they scored on the related questions out of how many - so you got 3 out of 5 questions right on module 3. i can tell them the % they got right, but i just want the simpler numbers. I could work around it when the pass rate and the point totals worked out nicely so that i could calculate points possible based on the passing %, but this doesn't work where the pass % doesn't work itself out to a whole number. Is there already a enhancement request for this (make points per questions/points possible a variable )?Solved
